    Welcome to the forums!

    You can find some torrent apps to choose from here:

    File Sharing | Linux App Finder

    If you find one you like, you might be able to install it with your default package tool.

    I'd suggest bittorrent

    from terminal

    sudo apt-get install bittorrent-gui

    I use transmission which is in the repository.

    It seems that it is not only distros and desktop environments that get multiple answers

    You can but whether you should depends purely on the license granted for the item you want to share.

    just to second that. If you are violating license agreements then no, you should not use Linux to do so. Our community heavily frowns upon that kind of activity. If you want to do that kind of stuff, go back to Windows where all the thieves hang out but if you are using it for legal stuff, than, for sure, you can use the clients to do so and ask away for help on how to do so
