# 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:
[![advanced-torrent-1](/pics/advanced-torrent-1.png)](/pics/advanced-torrent-1.png)
Now, select your .torrent file and click on "Upload Torrents".
[![advanced-torrent-2](/pics/advanced-torrent-2.png)](/pics/advanced-torrent-2.png)
Finally, you'll see your torrent downloading.
[![advanced-torrent-3](/pics/advanced-torrent-3.png)](/pics/advanced-torrent-3.png)
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.
[![advanced-torrent-4](/pics/advanced-torrent-4.png)](/pics/advanced-torrent-4.png)
In qBittorrent, click on "Add Torrent Link".
[![advanced-torrent-5](/pics/advanced-torrent-5.png)](/pics/advanced-torrent-5.png)
And paste the magnet link on the box. When you are done, click on "Download".
[![advanced-torrent-6](/pics/advanced-torrent-6.png)](/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.
[![advanced-torrent-7](/pics/advanced-torrent-7.png)](/pics/advanced-torrent-7.png)
Back at the torrent tracker page, you'll see the data for your torrent, and your qBittorrent IP!
[![advanced-torrent-8](/pics/advanced-torrent-8.png)](/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!
