TLDR: Looking for current guide, and good links, to restart torrenting that hasn't been archived.

Greetings Everyone!

This post is fairly simple. The last time I did anything torrent related was around '06, or whenever it was that ThePirateBay was in full swing. I know things have changed greatly since then, and as I am wanting to get re-started for some Music replacements, I am asking if there is a guide/how-to beyond getting a vpn and torrent client according to the r/ piracy guide. I did find an old thread in this sub, but it was about 2-5 years old.

In essence I am also looking for some good links to browse for music magnets. Everyone keeps mentioning RED, but I don't want to spend roughly 6-12 months just trying to get in good standing from a brand new account.

The guide from Piracy has Tracker links, but I don't know if clicking it will take me to an actual site to browse, or just update my client with said tracker.

An example of a torrent I'd be looking for is: My mom let me rip her Elvis disk, but she threw them away before I could verify the rip/sound quality, so I'd be looking to replace it.

From my understanding, I realize that due to rule 3 & 4 I [probably] shouldn't be asking for links, but there's no real way around it at this point.
