How many hours of entertainment torrent files have given us! These files are used as data containers and information about movies, series or music. One of the best sites to download them has been DonTorrent. However, many users wonder if it is a reliable site. Is DonTorrent safe?
This website has earned a bad reputation for offering on many occasions copyrighted content. Well, at least that's what many creators accuse her of. That explains why she has been habitually persecuted and even closed more than once.
So far, DonTorrent has managed to circumvent censorship using a fairly simple method: change domain every week, thus going one step ahead of his pursuers. It seems that the system works for him, as it is considered one of the most reliable and used, with about 135.000 torrents available.
A feature highly appreciated by its users that distinguishes DonTorrent is that lacks advertising- No invasive ads or annoying pop-ups. But precisely that characteristic is what tells us that it is not a commercial website to use. In any case, toBefore continuing with the reading of this post, we declare that dAt Movilforum we condemn any type of piracy.
Access DonTorrent
How to access DonTorrent? The question is very simple: as in any other web page, you just have to enter the URL in the browser bar. But there is a problem: know what is the valid domain. And it is that, for the reasons mentioned above, this changes from time to time.
The valid address at the time we write is the one indicated at the beginning of the article, but it is possible that it will no longer be valid after a few days or weeks. Like the previous ones, it will be blocked and another will appear again. It is not the most user-friendly solution, of course, but to date it has served the DonTorrent developers to keep their website online.
How to know what is the valid domain at any time? DonTorrent is responsible for communicating it to its users through other means, such as its Telegram channel which, by the way, has about 40.000 subscribers.
The DonTorrent channel on Telegram looks like this: «Channel created to warn of domain changes due to regional blockages and warning of possible problems with DonTorrent (Only important communications due to domain blockage or unplanned crashes)».
Risks of using DonTorrent
Given its peculiarities, it is logical to ask the question: Is DonTorrent safe? Is there any hidden risk on this page for our devices? The answer will depend on the type of content that we want to access via P2P download and, of course, on the type of digital protection used.
The main risk of using DonTorrent lies in the constant changes of domain, the system that the web uses to escape from its persecutors. It may happen that, When looking for the "new" website, we end up landing on another one that has been positioned pretending to be the original. Sometimes, it is not enough to choose the first Google result, you have to make sure that it is the place you want to visit. These fake websites often offer malware links to their visitors, something that DonTorrent does not do.
Pages like DonTorrent work over P2P networks (peer to peer), a protocol or system created in 2001 that bases its operation on the interconnection of user computers to exchange files without having to go through a central server. These platforms are known as BitTorrent clients.
Faced with possible lawsuits, these portals allege that they do not actually host or distribute any illegal files, only links to access them to whoever wants it.
The best solution to be safe from these practices is use a VPN that guarantees our security and preserves our identity on the Internet. You have to remember what a VPN is or Virtual Private Network: a software that masks our IP and that also allows us to avoid any type of geographical blocking.
