On torrent trackers, look for files with a high number of seeders and read the user comments to see if others reported viruses.
This is a popular choice for users who want to keep an offline library of essential apps in case of network outages or store regional restrictions. The Risks (The "Long Review" Caution)
Apps installed via torrents won't receive automatic security patches or feature updates from official stores, leaving your device vulnerable over time.
Torrents are excellent for large files. Instead of downloading 50 separate APK files from a slow file-sharing site, a single torrent allows you to download everything at once using your full bandwidth.
