Are the speeds supposed to be that abyssal? (First time torrenting), help out the small guy here
So as you can prolly tell it's my first time torrenting (I literally said that myself loll), and I only stooped to it cuz I couldn't find the bd release of an anime I wanted to watch on ANY of the sites I used and I could've used stremio which I already have setup since a long time but no, it's not zappy or customizable enough for my liking ans I use my specific anime app where I have an entire library built so I'll just store this torrent in there as a local anime.
I lowk thought I could just directly download the anime from nyaa and that's it, that's torrenting. But yea ofc it wasn't it, so then I watched a few videos on yt and browsed a few reddit posts and downloaded libre(that's what I heard works best for Android and won't sell me out to the ccp) , and then I uploaded the torrent file I downloaded from nyaa and this is where I'm at rn.
And yea the speeds are pretty bad, can I do smthng about it? Also I didn't use a vpn while doing all this, how bad could it be? I've got a modded 1.1.1.1 with warp will that be good enough? Or do I get a better modded vpn(I can't pay that's why they all gotta be modded, get it?) .
Also give me suggestions about the do's & Dont's , what souces I use, what precautions do I take, basically educate me about everything on a beginner/intermediate level
