What You Need to Know about Torrent Sites
Published 10th September 2020
A free online safety guide on torrent sites.
A torrent site is a website on the internet where visitors can upload, share and download files. While some torrent sites are legal, others are not due to the sharing of copyrighted material such as books, music and movies. A torrent site allows users to download pieces of a particular file from various other users (known as 'seeders') until the complete file has been collected.
In the guide, you'll find tips on avoiding potential risks such as legal issues, hackers and malware.
