Today most open source projects provide a torrent link for letting users download it through torrents. So downloading through torrents is not a crime, but downloading through a specific site and illegal content may lead you to some legal trouble. Many countries have already blocked sites that they think to provide illegal or pirated material. It is illegal to distribute and use pirated content not only through torrents but in any other way. Anyone can use torrents for downloading their favorite content provided by the content creators.īecause torrents are faster, people also use them to distribute pirated content such as movies, software, and other premium content for free. In simple terms, torrenting is a way of transferring large files to users. It is a common misconception that torrents are illegal because they are used for downloading illegal content.
