I2P is the safest way.

Otherwise an open source client such qbittorrent or transmission on an open source os such as Linux with a VPN provider whose privacy policy you are happy with. The most important thing is to bind your torrent client to the VPN interface inside the torrent client settings.

There are more technical setups to automate parts of the process but learn to walk before you can run.

How is the download speed? I assumed torrenting on i2p would be slower so never tried personally

Last time I tried it, it was slow enough but it is did the job. Though it depends on the seeds, I suspect it is somewhat faster nowadays.
