#1. (RTFM) Read the Megathread, it has all the trusted sites you'll likely need unless you're getting into to very niche things.
#2. Use a VPN. Mullvad is great but they recently removed port-forwarding so if you care about port-forwarding I recommend going with something like ProtonVPN (paid).
#3. Bind your VPN to your torrent client. (I recommend using QBittorrent)
#4. Also, for music, I recommend you look into soulseek.
Edit: Read @GrievingWidow420@feddit.it's reply to this comment. They give helpful information that I completely spaced to add into my original comment.
Maybe before suggesting these two, which are more go-to than they should be, you should have suggested checking their national, cultural and legislative view on piracy and, if at least two result positive, should have suggested to search for websites that are totally shady but look good and work better, that host downloadables either via torrent or direct downloads. Many nations have their own.
Feel free to consider the above as #2 and then go from there, my bud PRUSSIA_x86
I did end up realizing they might not live in a country that cares about piracy, and should have mentioned they might not even need a VPN. Thanks for the correction.
