You pay someone else (a debrid service) to torrent for you (approximately $3/month for 6 months), and you download the files from their site when it's done.

The benefit is that if you want a popular file, chances are they'll already have it available and there's no waiting for them to finish the download.

And you don't need a VPN because your IP isn't shared with any of the other torrenters
