I'm gonna be honest, I've tried torrenting before and maybe I'm just an idiot (most likely), but I've never been good at figuring out which fuckin button is the actual download button and I'm tired of ghosting my pc

If you set up qbittorrent with the built-in search you can torrent stuff without ever opening your browser

Sounds like 90% of your problem is ads then. Or going to shitty sites. Get on a decent tracker - even the good old one - and have an adblocker installed

Don't listen to this guy. He exists to overcomplicate things because he's just trying to fit in with other losers.

Download an adblocker. Stop using 'smart' features. Hook your computer up to your TV and get a wireless keyboard/mouse combo.

This isn't difficult, or complicated.
