How do I protect myself from torrenting?

Only download torrents from reputable websites, make sure the actual torrents you’re using are legit, use a good P2P client, avoid going for copyrighted material, and, most importantly, get a VPN. With a recommended VPN on your device, all of the risks associated with torrenting are hugely reduced.

What should I know before downloading a torrent?

Before downloading a torrent, I recommend doing the following: Check if the size of the content is representative of what you’re downloading. If it’s a video file in 4K quality, it should take up at least 10 GB (usually more) — not 30–50 KB or MB. Make sure the format of the content is correct.
