How can you prevent downloads from being traced (on the laptop where they are downloaded)?
You can't completely prevent this, but you can make a few connections to foreign servers, for example via dns, and then download them. But it is still not impossible
Backtracking something like that.
No matter what you write here, since I believe that you have a limited knowledge of IT, please do not open the THOR browser.
E.g. Via dns
Certainly not.

Not just the questioner.
don't open the THOR browser.
There's no such thing. Thor is a god. THOR is not known to me. I also don't know TOR. You mean gate.
If you download from a public network without registering (e.g. A hotspot at the train station, in a café, etc.), you can't be traced. The same applies if you use a VPN service that does not log any data.
Dns
Yes for sure,
I'm a graduate student with 1.1 in the direction of system integration.
Sorry for the autocorrect spelling mistake. Who apparently doesn't know the Tor browser and made a nordic god out of it. I wrote it in capital letters that the questioner is aware of this.
Edit: if you need an explanation about DNS connect feel free to report
Basically: not at all.
There are always logs somewhere logging this.

And?
Sorry for the autocorrect spelling mistake.
You can also correct the autocorrection. You should read your text before sending it. The autocorrection is so unsuitable that it corrects something supposedly correct into something incorrect and does not correct the errors. Sounds perfectly logical.

Strangely enough, capitalization worked where it failed in many other places.

I assume you mean Domain Connect. I don't see how this is supposed to help.
Well - in principle, tracing goes up to a certain point… And is also dependent on the local conditions (e.g. Surveillance cameras…)
In principle, however, the question from the questioner is a little bit about the heart of the matter. Rather, the question arises of who shouldn't understand what.
Depending on this, VPN or HTTPS can definitely help.
But if you have to deal with tracking methods from google & Co., that doesn't necessarily help.

Correct, the question is not clear. I once concentrated on the typical aspect that is constantly in demand here. As a rule, the questioners are concerned here that it should not be traced that they have made a certain download.

That is true, however.
I mean when you download something illegal that you can't be traced back to get your home address
I mean when you download something illegal that you can't be traced back to get your home address and get a fine
You have to keep an eye on the entire investigation methods used by the police or detectives when doing something like this.
A VPN hides the IP address with which you are actually traveling - but your communication is logged by the VPN provider, if only for technical reasons. If you have business contact with them, they'll know you. Contrary to the statements of AGBn, communication protocols have already been issued to law enforcement authorities. Laws always break general terms and conditions.
With public networks you may not be directly visible - but it is known from which location you have dialed in. In addition something "offline investigation" - possibly with surveillance cameras / witnesses who have observed you and the network is already tightening.
The question is also whether your "illegal" behavior is criminally relevant.
Copyright violations are not necessarily. But big companies also try to use their means and ways…
There are also other tracking methods such as fingerprinting.
Ultimately, you are not 100% anonymous in any network.
The question is always how much interest there's in a follow-up.
Yes, it will always be able to be traced back, it just has to be important enough that someone does it. That means, if you steal state secrets from us, you will surely get hold of it, if you illegally download a laura stern sequence, nobody will control it.
