In late 2022, BitTorrent released updates for its web-based clients (versions 1.1.x), which included new features such as the ability to create torrents directly in the browser and a new folder selector.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) compiled data for its "2022 Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy," a report published in early 2023 that analyzes piracy trends—including torrent sites—active throughout December 2022.

Users on platforms like Reddit reported receiving copyright infringement notices for torrenting activities specifically during late December 2022.
