How To Torrent Software Safely (For Dummies) (andscape.notion.site)

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.

fair enough, and you do already mention the importance of seeding in one of the last paragraphs. maybe you could add a sentence like "If you decide to seed, ideally the amount you upload should be equal to or greater than the amount you have downloaded to help keep the torrent alive."
