How To Torrent Software Safely (For Dummies) - eviltoast

I wrote this post for a friend, I’m sharing it here for anybody it might help. I got asked multiple times how I download cracked music software so I figured it’d be easier to write it down once. It’s meant for people with very low technical skills who just want to start torrenting software without major risks, and it includes a bunch of safety tips that are already known in this community.

If you have feedback, let me know and I’ll update the post.

    windows firewall is actually more robust than whatever you might install onto windows

    Except against MS Software, those still leak through, even though you blocked them.

    Btw, Glasswire and Simplewall use Windows’ Firewall, as far as i know.
