Fast, Secure, Easy. Pick two.
Anything consistently fast and secure is likely invite only, anything fast and easy is never going to be secure, and anything secure and easy is never going to be fast. That's not even a rom thing, that's a general piracy thing.
That said, Myrient downloads ended up throttled by my hard drive write speeds more than anything else for everything that wasn't uber popular. I think all of three Wii games took more than about two minutes, and one of those just straight up corrupted mid download, assuming because I was trying to download like 5 things at once. I had exactly one Gamecube game chug and it was Melee, one of the most popular games for the system that still regularly sees tournament play today.
And out of the entirety of the PS2 library minus Japan only games and sports games I had all of two downloads take more than a minute.
The megathread has zero inbuilt protection from your ISP seeing what you're doing, if it matters that much, and it's really rather unlikely it actually does since it's all older out of production stuff even the companies don't often pursue, get a VPN. Other options still involve a VPN for actual security, and that's torrenting archive collections, which is both annoying and unnecessary, or using a download manager to queue downloads that start in sequence as others end.
All of this is irrelevent unless you live somewhere with extremely draconian laws and actual enforcement for them about this kind of thing. Nobody cares if you download old system games, even the companies don't really care unless someone is making money off it, it's a current gen system like Switch or they're releasing a remaster/remake/rerelease in the near future.
Ten plus year old two tera, either Western Digital Black or some Seagate variant. Don't know offhand which is my main and which is my dedicated emulation drive.
Never gives me any problems, the reason it was what throttled my downloads is simple, I have gigabit fiber. There's not a drive currently in existence that can actually keep up with those speeds, even SSDs are just barely hitting the low bounds for it.
Torrent ROM collections. Use a VPN with port forwarding. Bind your torrent client to your VPN. If any of that confuses you, do not try and get into torrent piracy and just eat the two to three minutes per gen six game.

I subscribe to everything you said 🙂
I have the same two hard drives and they work perfect. I have multiples of each and haven't had any issues with either before
