It's A Digital Disease!

Hello, I’m a social science student and trying to study some reddit posts. I found the PushShift archives (https://the-eye.eu/redarcs/) but the subreddit that I want isn’t listed in the top 20,000.

They have given a link to the torrent for the full data. I’m not a tech person, so can someone guide me if I have to download the full data (2TB) or whether I can get the data for specific subreddits from the torrent?

I have heard many scary stories about torrents (some say they are illegal) so I’m afraid to experiment. If anyone has advice, please share!!
