It's a gray area in lots of countries, although typically they tend to have much greater issues than some very low income worker trying to find escape in torrenting films.
Switzerland
Actually it's also illegal in Switzerland, as it includes the uploading of the movie.

South America.
In Poland you can download anything for your own private use - so this would be completely legal.
This is a torrent client, and uploads while you watch.
You can disable uploading, for the sake of legality.

Well, the downloading is legal in Netherland (we already pay a fee for that). The uploading not so much. Not sure if it matters that you only upload what you downloaded, so you aren't distributing anything that wasn't already distributed.
