How safe is it to download Torrents from the Internet?

If you download Torrent files from the Internet, be very careful! Not everyone knows, indeed many think that downloading Torrent from the internet is safe and anonymous, but it is not.

You have to be very careful, because the provider of the ADSL line (which can be Telecom, Wind, Vodafone …) keeps track of everything you do while surfing the Internet, so they know exactly what sites you visit, what you download, what movies you watch and what files download via Torrent.

So, if you think about downloading Torrent in anonymity from the Internet, be very careful, because your ISP (the ADSL line provider in fact) keeps track of everything you do on the web, including the Torrent files you download.

If you decide to download Torrent files from the Internet and you want to do it safely, entrust yourself to a VPN, so that your traffic is secure, anonymous and protected. Only with a VPN can you download any file, program, document, film, TV series from the web without the risk of being discovered and in total anonymity.
