My last foray into Torrenting was when TWC was taken over by Spectrum and I was using uTorrent like crazy. We had Spectrum ONE week and I got a DMCA letter. This is the type of thing I'm trying to avoid.

Although I've found a lot of information on Qbittorrent, I would like to know from some long-time users what are the minimum things I must set within the client to be safe, discrete but also have a good Download/Upload experience. I am using ExpressVPN.

Thanks so much!

If you plan on using public trackers, then consider using the proxy settings in Qbt to connect to ExpressVPN's Socks5 proxy.

Isn't a VPN enough to protect me when using public trackers? I'm sorry it's been a long time since I've done this.

Just use the VPN. Proxies are inherently unstable and unsafe for torrenting, with a lot of leaks, causing providers to DMCA you.
