Unless you have a specific reason to use Telegram, I’d avoid it.

I know Telegram is bad for personal messaging in terms of Security compared to Signal. But, for Piracy stuffs, communities and channels. Telegram is quite good.

Can use the Telegram to download torrents media (videos, movies, music), why not?

Why not? Because it’s probably slower, it’s yet another propietary service you have to rely on, and it defeats the purpose of using a torrent to start with.

It’s not a torrent but an alternative to download piracy content, as you could go to another web service like Lemmy or Youtube. Many webs have their code private also. On Telegram, at least the frontend is open source.

How come, it’s not different to Discord.

  1. I think telegram is more secure than discord. Could be wrong.
  2. I wouldn’t get torrents off discord either.

It not being different to Discord is half the problem.

Actually if you read the description, this bot does seed, you manually set the ratio at which it stops.

I think tracker sites are still the best choice. I use Telegram for other mini apps though.
