Recently needed to try a few distros. Downloading from direct mirrors was way slower than torrenting. So I just torrented the rest of the distros.

mullvad no longer portforwards, so probably not a good option to torrent with. proton is good if you use their whole ecosystem.

Safest image download would be from Microsoft website. You need activation? Look up Microsoft Activation Script (MAS) on Github. Read the readme on how to use it.

One of the reasons why you want to keep a live-bootable operating system within one of your flashdrives or optical discs.

You probably need another device to securely boot up a live OS to recover your data. Don't use Windows, because it might still be vulnerable to autoplay scripts when mounting your infected OS partition and I assume your infected OS is Windows, so the malwares are going to be compatible and unless you know what you're doing, you probably don't want to take that chance.

Why not just use an F-Droid repo?

For some reason the session network (oxen network) now blocks my Hetzner VPS connection (I use for VPN). Have been a session user for around 2 years now and now I have to reconsider Signal.
