There are actually legal torrents and valid reasons to download them from within a company network or company workstations, for example here are the Debian install media torrents: https://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/
However, you should make sure the admins and bosses don't mind.
not a very secure distribution method.
not a very informed comment.
torrents have checksums, you can't just send someone incorrect parts, they'll get rejected.
yes you'll get what you're looking for but you also open up your network to every other torrent under the sun.
Wut?
Explain to me what you think torrenting a file does.
You don't seem to understand how torrents work, or you don't want to. Third option would be that you aren't very bright, but I'd refrain to assume that to give you a chance to better explain your stance.
Hahaha No.
False. But, feel free to explain why you think so.
