Torrent safely

What does it mean "torrent"? thanks

Online fraud is a growing concern in Europe, making a VPN a must - regardless of whether you’re a visitor using public Wi-Fi or a lifelong resident of one of one of the many European countries, looking to torrent safely and access geo-blocked content.

To torrent is to download files on a peer-to-peer network. I believe the word is derived from the name of the principle network, BitTorrent. The practice is of questionable legality and morality because people use it to "share" copyrighted material, so users want to hide their activities with a virtual private network (VPN).
