# Dowloading torrents manually
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you have a Bittorrent client always available, you can use it to download any torrents you find online.
|
||||
|
||||
To add a new torrent, click on the "Add torrent file" option:
|
||||
|
||||
[](/pics/advanced-torrent-1.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Now, select your .torrent file and click on "Upload Torrents".
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you'll see your torrent downloading.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Once it finishes downloading, you can find your torrent file in your mediafolder, on the "downloads" folder.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/srv/media$ tree downloads/
|
||||
downloads/
|
||||
└── debian-11.6.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
|
||||
|
||||
0 directories, 1 file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Double checking your torrent IP address
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to be extra sure your IP is not leaking in qBittorrent, you can use this simple check.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to https://www.whatismyip.net/tools/torrent-ip-checker/index.php and grab the testing magnet link.
|
||||
|
||||
[](/pics/advanced-torrent-4.png)
|
||||
|
||||
In qBittorrent, click on "Add Torrent Link".
|
||||
|
||||
[](/pics/advanced-torrent-5.png)
|
||||
|
||||
And paste the magnet link on the box. When you are done, click on "Download".
|
||||
|
||||
[](/pics/advanced-torrent-6.png)
|
||||
|
||||
You'll see a new torrent called "Torrent Tracker IP Checker". This torrent is never going to start downloading, its just for https://whatsmyip.net to check the IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
[](/pics/advanced-torrent-7.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Back at the torrent tracker page, you'll see the data for your torrent, and your qBittorrent IP!
|
||||
|
||||
[](/pics/advanced-torrent-8.png)
|
||||
|
||||
The IP address **has to be different from your own IP address**, and **it has to match the output of** `yams check-vpn`.
|
||||
|
||||
You are now extra sure your IP is not going to get leaked from torrenting!
