    Ring Apple support and ask them to put you through to the Torrent department

    Ignore that very unhelpful last post...Apple Torrent department closes after 5pm on weekdays.

    On the off chance that you are serious, you should not ring Apple and ask them about an illegal file sharing process.

    Are torrents themselves illegal or just certain content illegal?

    OP, literally the first result of a Google search for 'iPad torrent' tells you exactly how to do it

    Torrents or torrent transfers are not illegal, what us illegal is transfer/sharing software/movie/music that is pirated

    Was only messing about calling Apple. Every search result seems to be a long winded way to simply download a file. Definitely not as easy as using uTorrent

    Torrenting and torrenting clients are just a distribution method and clients to help facilitate the file transfer. They are no more illegal than downloading an iOS update over the air.
