I did put in that caveat. Plus remember many folks who start using a
torrent client do not know the difference between good stuff and
malware filled stuff they will see all this content available.
I just got after my son today because he had it on the family
computer. HE does not know the difference (Or does and is going
after the other stuff) and I will not have it on the computer.
Any time you go peer to peer sharing files over the Internet you have
left yourself open to anything.

Not all torrents are created equal is more to the point. The torrent
program is safe in and of itself, it's that the files you may download might
be suspect. If you stick to legal torrents there will be no trouble, I've
never seen a bad (virusmalwarespyware) legit torrent. There are too many
users downloading them and there are usually forums or feedback for each
torrent so if there are any issues it will come out in the feedback.
When Apple finally added podcasts I'd hoped they would have created a
bittorrent client from within the itunes app so that the bandwith for
podcasts could be spread around to users..alas no such chance. If you look
at a podcast like twit, they have a reported 200k in downloads a week I
believe. That's a lot of bandwith.
