Unless you have a specific reason to use Telegram, I'd avoid it.

I know Telegram is bad for personal messaging in terms of Security compared to Signal. But, for Piracy stuffs, communities and channels. Telegram is quite good.

Can use the Telegram to download torrents media (videos, movies, music), why not?

Why not? Because it's probably slower, it's yet another propietary service you have to rely on, and it defeats the purpose of using a torrent to start with.

It's not a torrent but an alternative to download piracy content, as you could go to another web service like Lemmy or Youtube. Many webs have their code private also. On Telegram, at least the frontend is open source.

Ah, my bad. I thought that OP meant a bot to convert torrents to DDL.

Well if you refer to the torrent to DDL then you are right that there are other better ways. But as he said channels also, I know it's easy to find movies and series searching on channels, so I thought he meant that.

How come, it's not different to Discord.

  1. I think telegram is more secure than discord. Could be wrong.
  2. I wouldn't get torrents off discord either.
