Want to start torrenting anime

Get qbittorrent if you want GUI, otherwise get rtorrent (linux only)
I suggest you set up a dedicated NAS or PC for torrenting, with lots of storage.
Don't forget about a VPN if you live in a fvey country.
You can use any player you want, VLC, MPC, MPV, whatever you feel comfortable with.
I also disabled IPv6, because I don't like it when others have direct connection to a device on my network.

Also don't forget: Sharing is caring, so keep seeding!

Thanks for the advice!
Also, what VPN would you recommend?

>>358460
Unfortunately I can't recommend you any, since I live in country where nobody cares about what you do on the Internet, therefore I torrent without a vpn.

Could you explain? Isn't IPv6 just another addressing system? And don't they have a direct connection over IPv4 anyway?

For a tracker, look at whatever nyaa replacements are out there or tokyotosho.

Or you could go to /v/'s lonely virgin steam friends thread and get an invite to some private tracker from some of those faggots, they might just be lonely enough to consider some attention a good exchange for an invite.

With IPv4, each home router is given their own IP address, and the router maintains a local network where your computers are addressed. The router will also have a firewall and an option to forward ports. This is because there aren't enough IPv4 addresses in existance.
With IPv6, there are enough addresses for each computer in existance many times over, so routers instead get a bunch of addresses to give to machines on the local network. So, your local computers now all have IP addresses on the global internet, not just locally.

This is solid advice, adding onto this, the trackers you want right now are Nyaa.si and Nyaa.pantsu.cat. There used to be just one Nyaa, but it's dead now and there's two competing successors. The more popular one is Nyaa.si, but both of them have wonky tracker stats. This means that even if it says it has no seeds on the tracker's index, it probably does have seeds and you should try connecting to it anyway. It will probably be a while before either site irons out all their issues since they were cobbled together in short order after Nyaa.se went down.

If you find that you really want to get serious about torrenting anime see about getting into a private tracker. The best anime private tracker is AnimeBytes, but there's a couple others. Might be tough to get into one right now since I don't think any of them are accepting applications (I know AB isn't) and they're effectively invite only for the foreseeable future.

I do live in a FVEY country, but is not having a VPN still relatively safe if all I'm doing is only downloading anime?

Definitely don't use free ones and even then the paid ones aren't trustworthy either because when you do illegal shit they are obliged to give out your IP to the authorities anyway
VPNs are only good to access sites that are region blocked and prevent non-gov organizations from spying on you

If you wanna get serious about torrenting anime, get into BBT and AB, BBT has a interview system and AB recruit from RED(PU+).
