Torrenting in the United States is not technically illegal—unless you are downloading copyrighted materials—but the government is still doing its best to crack down on it. The majority of ISPs throttle any torrent traffic that is detected on their network. You get arrested for downloading licensed content for which you do not have a license. For example, if a Torrent site offers you free movies and free music (which are not part of the public domain), and other sites charge for those, either through subscription fees or per-song fees, then it's likely that the site is stealing the content. It would be illegal for you to download that content, either through BitTorrent, FTP, HTTP, or whatever file transfer protocol you choose. The short answer: as long as the item is copyrighted and you don’t own it, then downloading it (for free) via torrent is illegal. Using a torrent client and downloading torrents in itself isn’t illegal, as you could be downloading things that aren’t protected by copyright.
