It's a big problem for extending the library. And torrenting is inherently less safe than downloading through a browser.

Why would torrenting be less safe?
because you may expose your ip to unintended peers. Not all people use VPNs.

If you are downloading from browser, you generally use server ip, so you don't expose your ip to peers. You only expose your ip to server.
