Does it is bad to use torrents

I want to download some movies and games. I did not found free download anywhere. My friend suggested me to use torrents. But I had heard that torrent downloads can cause serious virus issue. I just want to know does it is bad to use them. Is there any safer way to use torrent.

First of all what you are asking is illegal. You are trying to download movies and games which are not free. You have to buy a legal disc for the same to use them. You can simply caught under copyright laws and there are strict penalties for the same. It is right that torrents are flooded with virus. Those files are uploaded by various hackers who upload the file and patched them with virus, malware, etc with an intention to capture to hack your system. It is not right to use them. The most commonly infection are via keygen. Anyhow you are have to run that, to illegally activate the product that you downloaded and that triggers the infection. You had not noticed whenever you have an active antivirus on your system, it catches keygen as virus infection and ask for deleting those files. So you must play with the same. Download from the most trusted sources only. There are many open source applications and games which are free for download from their own official sites. Download those instead of this.

Currently torrent networks are used by many people because of convenience to share variety of files which includes movies, music, games, programs, etc. But this not officially hosted. They are illegal. Many original DVD copies of new movies comes are cheaper rate. Why don't buy that instead of putting your system on risk.

There are special acts which are implemented for this. And if you get caught doing this you will have to pay the same. Better avoid such stuff and go for original copies. They are much more safer and better. There are very less bugs and virus in original game copies.

I hate torrents. Every time when I tried to download games, my system was infected with virus. I had to format the entire system to get rid of it. You must have a nice antivirus copy in your system. But does it worth if you download a 4GB game and found infected. So why to waste your bandwidth. I just purchased some pack of games which includes 5 games in it at an discounted rate. There are many sites which gives you such offers and some of them also provide promotional code. You have noticed that many pirated games cannot access official game servers. The reason is that, they are banned from the system. They are not allowed to pay the game as their copy is not original. I will recommend you to void such or there will be an question of violation of copyright act. Today companies are more strict for this.

It is possible that from torrent you get virus in your system and virus like Trojans, other malware can infiltrate your computer and allow remote access to information stored on it. This is simply on you to deal with this stuff.

I like torrent for file sharing, not for downloading the files illegally. Mostly I do not really on cracked version. You can get the demo and trail of many games and software free. Download then run them. Play the game and buy if you like it. This is nicer without much trouble your system works fine and the copy is also legal.

You cannot fight with piracy like that. It is an kind of responsibility of every user who must come up and stop using this. Then only it can be stopped. I am not against piracy, but many are fooling the innocent users on web in name of full free movie downloads, game downloads, etc.

It is illegal sharing of material without authorization from the maker. So anyhow the maker will surely get angry on the same. There are many new steps taken out to stop piracy. But there is very less development in this. You can see that every new movies, games and songs easily appear on torrents after release. This cost a great to those who are in the business. They loose the traffice of those people who illegally distribute the media to others. I don't know whether they can came out with some kind of new technology that can block the piracy of this thing. There are millions of people and it is also not easy to trace who did that. Torrent is an best client for file sharing. But if the maker wants, he can sue the company which has hosted the material. So that is the place where it can be stopped to some extent. Or else there is nothing much can be done here.
