- It doesn’t make you anonymous. Torrent protocol wasn’t designed with anonymity in mind and there are a million ways you’re going to leak your actual IP address.
- Tor is a TCP only network.
- While this doesn’t give you the anonymity you wanted, it will hurt the network for other users.

is it okay if I download a .torrent file from private trackers through TOR browser?

I wouldn’t bother tbh. As soon as you start using it in your torrent client other users can see your IP address anyway.
Seedboxes are a pretty good solution.

Unless you use a VPN or proxy.
Seedboxes are good but only seem worth the cost if you’re utilizing it a lot/frequently?

The cost is reasonable, you can get 1tb of storage for around £10 a month. Most Seedboxes will let you install VPN servers on them as well, I’m not sure what you pay for specific VPN software nowadays. So you could theoretically replace Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu etc and have a VPN.
They’re basically required for building ratio on private trackers nowadays.
