I've been thinking about using one, but I'm not sure which ones are good and which ones are compromised.

If you don't want the trouble of a virtual machine, go into torrent client options and set it to only use the VPN network interface instead of any interface. This way if you accidentally open qBittorrent when not on VPN it won't connect anywhere.
If you also want a VPN for privacy, set up a second browser to clear everything on exit (history, cookies, cache) and use that one on VPN. If you're not using Brave as your main browser, use it as your VPN browser since it has anti-fingerprinting. The ad industry supercookies have gotten so good that if you use your normal browser and open a private window you'll get a cookie clickthrough, but actually they still know who you are.
You're saying to set up a VM to make the torrent connections then you download from the VM?
I see, yeah that's probably smart.
I use my gaming machine to execute scary code, lol. That's what i use to type silly messages onto forums, too.
I have a separate LAN for important stuff that's not directly connected to the Internet.
