Is there a program like ZAP Shares for Linux?

greg spink asks:

I am living at a sober living house and want to download some new torrents, but we will get our internet taken away if I download movies here. I just switched to Ubuntu from Windows 7 and I love it, but I used to have Zap Shares to allow me to get movies without any issues for copyright infringement.

Is there anything I can do or any programs that can do something comparable to what Zap Shares does for Windows users and BitTorrent safety? Thank you!

I love this website. Tt is the absolute best one for getting software and learning about computers and the internet. Peace to all of you who operate makeuseof.com!

are you sure Zap shares isn’t a scam?
The website screams scam and the idea itself sounds kinda questionable – in terms of viability.

I don’t know of any program that does what Zapshares claims for linux but if you want to avoid copyright infringement you have to avoid all torrent downloading of any questionable content. If you’re keep on watching movies or TV shows for free your best bet is hulu.
