I2P is the safest way.
Otherwise an open source client such qbittorrent or transmission on an open source os such as Linux with a VPN provider whose privacy policy you are happy with. The most important thing is to bind your torrent client to the VPN interface inside the torrent client settings.
There are more technical setups to automate parts of the process but learn to walk before you can run.
What is I2P?
Edit: thank you to everyone for pointing me in the direction of more info!
The invisible internet protocol. It's some version of the Darknet (like tor), but you can only communicate with hidden services through it (There are no exit nodes). Because of that your IP isn't involved in transmitting the data.
I guess https://geti2p.net/en/
It is an anonymity network similar to tor if you have heard of that. I would recommend playing around with i2p+ to get started with it. You should be able to get it from here: https://i2pplus.github.io/
How is the download speed? I assumed torrenting on i2p would be slower so never tried personally
Last time I tried it, it was slow enough but it is did the job. Though it depends on the seeds, I suspect it is somewhat faster nowadays.
