...torrent downloads? To check if a torrent is a safe, do I scan the torrent itself or the file the torrent downloads?

Thanks.

The torrent it downloads. If you run a virus scan on the torrent itself, you would just be checking what is basically a link to where the actual file is for viruses.

no just look for comments positive feedback. that's for newbies
If you use norton or avira i wouldn't be concerned however if you get a pop up upon clicking on it that looks like a fake anti virus hold your power button in and reboot right away
