Downloading torrents is officially illegal in India and I'm wondering if you know anyone's been arrested for downloading torrents.
Downloading torrents is not illegal in any place on Earth. Torrents are not just used to share pirated contents.

As per Indian Govt law, if you bypass and download from the torrent website that is being blocked by TRAI, you're committing a crime.
However, there are dozens of website, that has not being blocked by TRAI. So, Downloading from it is not a crime.
Also, As per the new law, It's okay to stream and watch movies/shows that you haven't paid for. You just have to make sure, you're not making duplicate content (downloading).
I have downloaded almost 75+ movies after this new law. Indian government don't really care about this and shouldn't either. We have better things to do.
