I think you'll be okay with using a solid VPN and torrenting the files. Torrents are still very popular

Even if the answer may seem obvious, I still appreciate the input to make sure I am not too outdated. Thank you!
Yes... but what tracker would you recommend for uploading the torrents to? I know I'm not OP but I've been thinking about dvd ripping lately too
You're fighting the good fight ! Please do torrent !
Power to you!
If you can, please consider uploading them to Usenet as well.
As codecs go, I love AV1. More and more hardware support everywhere, it seems more future proof than h265 even at this point.
Rip at native DVD resolution and don't forget ALL the audio tracks, as many English users always forget about the rest of the world.
One other good method for secure distribution is supposed to be IPFS.
It's not anonymous, much like torrents. And honestly, I've never seen warez on there...
You can seed anonymously with I2P. It has a built in torrent client. If you don't want to use it, there' qtorrent which supports I2P and anonymous mode.
There are open trackers on I2P e.g http://opentracker.skank.i2p/ and http://opentracker.dg2.i2p/ both trackers don't have a search interface though, so probably people won't find your torrents unless they are very popular. You can upload the torrents to http://tracker2.postman.i2p which has a good interface.
With qtorrent you can seed in both the clearnet and I2P at the same time. Either just use the open trackers or postman's, or both. Either way, having them on I2P would be great.
I2P makes anti-hacking server protections go mad. You first need to check whether your servers TOS doesn't say anything about port-scanning or hacking.
I don't know which codec should be used to rip but you can pick whatever is in use by the latest and popular uploaders at whichever public tracker you decide on to use for those swarms
Handbrake software supports many. Perhaps AV1?
