# 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:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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!
