Does anyone here have any experience with using Torrent downloads? Any cautions or recommendations?

I'm downloading a 1 GB file and decided to try a torrents download. It looks like it's going to take a quarter the time that it would take to get if directly from the server.

I'm using Torrent RT Free Plus for a client. That one seemed to have the best reviews on the Windows store while still being free.

Used them multiple of times. One does have to be a little weary, but most are fine.

I, for one, am more than a little weary. But I'm pretty much fine with that, because it's been that way for so long now already.

But regarding the safety of downloads, I have the good fortune of having a test system that I run stuff on before I install on my main system. I also never access the internet while logged in as system Administrator, so if a download tried to install, it would require entering the password before it can continue. (I say this because my test system is not connected to the internet, so I carry the downloads on a flashdrive there, to test install. If it fouls up something, I just wipe the HDD & reimage it.)

Me too. Wish I could take a nap.

Pet Peeve: When "weary" is used in place of "leery" and/or "wary." That just unleashes a torrent of frustration.
