Thanks for answering the question as you're the first person to try.

It's good to know what other people do.

Of course, you're aware that if you obtain the magnet link via method 1 &
IP address 1 - then when you use that magnet link via method 2 & perhaps IP
address 2, the lack of latency allows the powers that be to correlate it.

I get it if you're not worried about that correlation, which you must not
be, which is fine - as that's one of the outputs I was hoping to
understand.

My one question to you is "why not wait a few hours?" in so much as the
longer you wait, the less they can correlate the two related events.

Note: I'm not chastising you. I'm just asking if you've considered the
implications of adding latency or if you just don't care about the issue.
