<p>As far as I know the first time you get caught there is a warning. </p>
<p>Really not much you need to torrent as you can a lot of stuff online. I’ve had had utorrent running a few times in the background (just didn’t notice) and it was downloading and uploading. Nothing really happened. I’ve had roommates who were torrenting huge files and never got caught. </p>
<p>Like all things it’s pretty much your choice. There’s always a risk.</p>
