"Hey guys, what's up? I wanted to start a thread on P2P file sharing since I've seen so many people getting burned by sketchy sites and malware. What's the best way to stay safe when downloading stuff online, and are there any reputable P2P platforms left out there?"

"Yea, I've been using OpenBazaar and InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for P2P file sharing, and it's been a game-changer. One thing I've found is that using a VPN is crucial to staying safe when accessing these decentralized networks. Has anyone else had any experience with the newer P2P platforms?"

"Hey guys, just wanna add that it's super crucial to remember that even with decentralized file sharing, your IP can still be exposed if you're not careful. I've been using IPFS and it's been solid for me so far, but I do recommend setting up a VPN if you plan on sharing files regularly."
