luesur Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 My apartment provides internet free and I am wondering if it is safe to download torrents using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 It's safe if you don't download contents possibly infected by some viruses, trojans or malwares.But these torrents are often reported as bad torrents on the tracker.If you speak about the bandwidth, if your line is shared with the other apartments, you have to set uT to not eat all the bandwidth.

anonymous Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 If you download copyrighted material you can be easily tracked if someone intendes to do so. As moogly said virus could be an issue, but that has nothing to do with the connection. Bandwith, either u limit that or get limited for someone will notice. Being hacked could be one of your fears, utorrent is a very safe program, i dont think it will leave any open door for someone to hack through.so just use it dont leech and dont download illegal stuffedit (no double post yo):chances u get tracked down are like one in a million or less.

Switeck Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Also, whatever capabilities of your connection...do NOT use settings in uTorrent that will overload that. So even if you have ~1 megabit/sec upload speed max...you might want to limit uTorrent's settings to 768 kilobit/sec or less from my speed guide (2nd link in signature).
