      It’s the other way around, torrents are monitored, downloads on webpages are not (unless they use P2P streaming)

        The big difference is that with torrents you also upload data to other peers, which is what fucks you copyright-wise.

        Also remember kids, if you’re not in the US throw those DMCA claims in the trash

          If you’re in the EU, downloading without uploading is also illegal, just hard to track for the copyright firms.

        Maybe for public trackers, I’ve never had an issue on private trackers. But pirate streaming sites are taken down fairly frequently
