Its is not a good idea to download the Dallas Buyers Club movie using BitTorrent or similar software, especially in states like Illinois and now Hawaii where Dallas Buyers Club LLC is actively suing.  If you are a parent make sure your children are not doing this; if you have roommates make sure your roommates are not doing this, as being a target of a federal lawsuit like this over a movie download is not fun, not fair, and is avoidable.
