Guys, I've through this a million times with my "users" when I was in IT.
Common sense and caution are the 2 best approaches.
You can do anything and download anything, torrents no probs at all.

Just don't click on something which wants to install (either as a prog or browser plugin) itself as part of going to a website.
These are most likely aggressive marketing or downright malware/spyware

By click on something you are not sure about, you are bending over with your arse exposed and saying "give it to me"!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
