That’s because it’s illegal and you’re committing a crime on behalf of your employer.
There are actually legal torrents and valid reasons to download them from within a company network or company workstations, for example here are the Debian install media torrents: https://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/
However, you should make sure the admins and bosses don’t mind.
not a very secure distribution method.
not a very informed comment.
torrents have checksums, you can’t just send someone incorrect parts, they’ll get rejected.
yes you’ll get what you’re looking for but you also open up your network to every other torrent under the sun.
Explain to me what you think torrenting a file does.
Wut?
You don’t seem to understand how torrents work, or you don’t want to. Third option would be that you aren’t very bright, but I’d refrain to assume that to give you a chance to better explain your stance.

Anyone else remember all the Torrentfreak articles from the early 2000’s about how folks in major corporations and the government were torrenting TV shows and music on corporate/government computers?
Everyone’s IP is exposed in a swarm, all Torrentfreak did was track down those IPs, and tons of them went to corporate and government networks and computers.
Doesn’t matter, laws are for the poor, not the rich elite!
