What's there to learn? You just simply download a client, go into thepiratebay (if it still exists, dunno, havent torrented a thing for like 10 years), click download and wait.
It is more difficult than a few years ago, especially if you don't want to get sued or get a threatening letter from your ISP.
I would only torrent with a VPN and a private tracker. It's certainly not difficult to learn, but absolutely requires some small amount of information to acquire.
thepiratebay still exists but is regarded as untrustworthy and infested with malware. I'd say knowing you're getting something from a trustworthy source is harder than it used to be.
And these days magnet links are everywhere, making it even a little simpler
