      Torrents are metadata files, they’re absolutely hosted on websites.

      They only describe how your BitTorrent client can initiate the p2p connection, they obviously don’t have the actual data that’s shared, only info about that data.

        But why do they need to worry, they do not host anything illegal (also if they only store magnet, they do not even need to store torrent). If linking to illegal content was illegal, google would be dead by now.

        Edit: do not host anything illegal = none of the illegal data in the torrents files
