Seeds are users that have 100% of a torrent. More Seeds usually means more speed. Leechers are users that don't have 100% of a torrent yet.

You can grab torrents either with a file (.torrent) or a magnet link. The latter is just a link that tells the client how to get the torrent.

A tracker is a server that manages the torrent. You don't really have to deal with that.

Always use a VPN. edit: Proton still supports port forwarding.
Make sure to map the network adapter of qBittorrent (or whatever client you use) to the VPN device so you don't leak your IP when you have a disconnect.
Set up something like Sonarr (Shows), Radarr (Movies), Jellyfin (or Plex) to streamline everything.
You can also include Prowlarr in the setup to automatically sync indexers to Sonarr and Radarr. Thats also where you find other indexers like 1337.to and whatnot.
If you want more convenience and speed, get a Seedbox like ultra.cc
Seed, seed, seed!

Not Mullvad anymore unfortunately. You'll want a VPN with port forwarding like AirVPN or else you won't be able to connect to everyone. Anyone else without port forwarding set up won't be able to connect to you nor will you connect with them.
