Torrents indicate their resolution, and usually bitrate too.
But keep in mind, while it might say the resolution in the name, that doesn't mean it's not compressed to all hell. You'll want to also check the file size and runtime to estimate the quality.
Do you have a favorite torrenting site?
1337x is my favorite. Look for efficient encodes like HEVC or AV1 for a better quality/size ratio (and ideally AAC or opus for audio). It's usually in the torrent name as well as the resolution, source, etc.
Thanks 👍
