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.

Oh, I 100% agree with all of those suggestions and use each myself these days, but a cracked copy of Netlimiter was a godsend back in the day, and I'd still recommend it over expecting the average Windows user to be vigilant about creating firewall rules everytime they download something new.
