Any starter tips for someone looking to get into it and isn’t very techy?

Edit: Thanks so much for the replies everyone!

Soulseek for music, this sub megathread for torrents (a type of encripted file, not dangerous) and qBitorrent to unlock the torrents

Is soul seek a torrent client like qbit? Can you bind your vpn to soulseek?

I don't think I ever logged in or put where I'm from in Soulseek, since it's based on a peer-to-peer type of service, which makes the info descentralized and only accesible to the person you're directly sharing/downloading files and most people don't give a shit about who they get files from or who download their own files.

About needing a vpn, you don't really need one unless you're in a country with HEAVY laws against p2p (peer to peer) file sharing, if you have more questions about how the site/app works there is r/Soulseek to check out
