honest, that’s for very good reason. Using
torrents is the number one way to
download pirated material including
movies, TV shows, music, and games. But
that’s not all there is to torrenting. It’s a very
efficient way to download legitimate
software such as Linux distributions and
authorized content from sites such as
BitTorrent Now (fave.co/3Fg8r2L).
Whatever your reasons, when it comes to
