You could use i2p for torrent it is free and secure, but slow

It’s just Germany, the rest of Europe (EU and non-EU) doesn’t actively care about them unless it’s cp.

It’s still my favorite network (using it from more 20 years ago), but for the latest things I use bittorrent and seed to both networks (bittorrent and ed2k/kad) through mldonkey 24/7.

You could seed on ed2k/kad networks, just share the folder

eMule works just fine nowadays with fiber connections.

Maybe you could try ed2k/kad (emule/amule/mldonkey), soulseek or dc++ networks. Just drop the files in the sharing folders and seed. My preference is ed2k/kad.

You could try on ed2k/kad network (emule/amule/mldonkey)

Adguard DNS at least they are good adblocking

I would say debian but as others said, are you on hopping distros? Do you have any problem with fedora 39?

Debian 12 with your favorite DE, I use XFCE

For bittorrent and p2p it is better to use i2p, tor only to surf the internet.
