+
+# 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!
