    Yes, utorrent is "safe" as far as spyware etc. is concerned. I use it to download distros.

    As far as malware, it's clean. It's only as safe as what you choose to download.

    Do you get a virus just by downloading music to burn in CDs and video-clips (these are a bit dangerous... I had bad experience with KAZAA ... ) ;)


    WHAT IS DISTROS ? Please tell me ... I like to learn ... :)

    In my opinion...All P2P Programs are breeding grounds for infection...Doesn't matter if you use them safely...It's just 1 more way to get infected. But the most likely of ways not to mention it feeds the attackers.

    It's funny cause I see some people run around with like 3-4 P2P programs on their system and no protection. :confused:

    uTorrent is a fantastic program. It is dead fast and very efficient. I've been using it to help distribute my favourite IPTV shows and it works great.

    The problem lies in what you want to download. uTorrent is completely safe by itself. Kazzaa, on the other hand, isn't - because it is shipped with spyware. As are a number of other P2P applications.

    If you choose to download torrents which contain viruses - that's your own problem.

    Buy them.

    While we allow discussion of P2P applications, we do not allow conversations about illegal activities, so that stops now.

    Don't be cheap.

    Those are Linux distributions. They are a free or less costly operating system as opposed to Windows XP etc. Perfectly legal and beneficial to the distributors as they are not the only ones supplying the bandwidth, it's spread among many people as some are 2GB in size. Hehe, you said you wanted to learn and there is a heck of a lot. ;) Have fun learning! :)
