Hi,

Torrents are most of the time used for illegal downloading of films and/or games, and we do not support any illegal activities. Please read our rules, and make sure you tell us in your question you arent doing any illegal activities.

Greetz,

RubenTC

Yeap, most of the torrent files are associated with games/porn download.

It is against our rule ( No discussion about illegal pirated or stolen software/movies/games/music ) .

But could you post what you are downloading here, so we can judge whether it is illegal. Looking foward to ya reply.

Matt

Hey Guys,

@Faraz, both Ruben and Matt are correct, we do not support illegally obtained materials. Depending on where you found these files, and the content of them would determine if they are illegal or not.

Any copywrited material, ie: movies, music, etc. would be considered illegal.

All torrent files are not automatically illegal however, if you are downloading someone's personal home movie for example.

That being said, due to the prolific use of this file type in illegal activity, we would not be able to assist you with this topic. I believe that you will find all of the information that you are looking for by Googling the topic. Sorry we were unable to help.

TTFN

LGW
