A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they’re all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me…

I’m sure you’ll be fine.
Are you using a private tracker? I probably would for that much stuff.
No. Private tracker means you have to be part of a special club to get the torrent link, not just find it on nyaa or whatever
You really shouldn’t use uTorrent. There are a number of safer and better open source alternatives out there.
Qbittorrent is my favorite client but there are a couple of great alternatives like Transmission or Deluge.
People still use that malware of a client???
Which would your suggest? It’s been a long time since I’ve had to do a little pirating.
uTorrent 2.2.1 Build 25154 is good. There’s a few builds of uTorrent that are fine.
But yeah, qbittorrent is the default “why didn’t you use it?” client.
It’s good in the sense that it’s the last version before it got enshittified by ads, but the now nearly-legendary v2.2.1 is also 5 years behind in security patches. It was an awesome, fast, stable client and I miss it, but I don’t think it’s worth the risk. Like you and everyone else has been saying, OP should be using Qbittorent.
