The safest is using a VM for torrents, execute them there and see if there is weird behavior or weirdly increase of processes or services in the task manager or the equivalent to that on Linux.

Now yt-dlp is to download from YouTube and other sources, to download video and convert it to mp3 the command is: yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 (video url)

What are you executing from torrents? For music/movies/etc it should just be video files, nothing to execute.

Yes, i mean in general, and if its a trusted source then why bother :0
