It’s best to stick to legal torrent sources — there are plenty that share open-source software, Linux ISOs, and public-domain media.

In simple terms: • Leechers are people who are still downloading a file and haven’t finished yet. • Seeders are the ones sharing the full file. • Trackers help coordinate connections between seeders and leechers. • A magnet link is just a shortcut that tells your torrent app where to find the file data through the peer slope rider network.
