What are Torrent Sites?
A torrent site is a website on the internet where visitors can upload, share, and download files.

A torrent site allows users to download pieces of a particular file from various other users, known as seeders, until the complete file is downloaded.
In the guide, you’ll find tips on a number of potential risks such as legal issues, hackers and malware.
