It depends on what type of material you are using, If your downloading copyrighted material than yes, that would be illegal, torrents are just a means, a mechanism by which you can make the download , there are many file sharing programs you can use to to share files. frostwire is one bearshare is another just off the top of my head,
It isn't the torrent that is illegal it is what you do with it, or what type of files that you chose to download that may be illegal.
If you download public domain type files or ones that don't have any commercial type rights attached to them prohibiting you from downloading them without paying for them than yes that would be illegal. However if you avoid doing that and stick to files without any copyright etc you will be fine.

Are torrents legal?
Torrents themselves are not illegal. They are simply small files that help a BitTorrent client connect to a tracker and find peers to download files from. Nor is downloading stuff using torrents necessarily illegal. The BitTorrent protocol is a legitimate way to distribute large files without straining a server too much. It is used for legal software like Linux distros and OpenOffice, as well as some public domain music and videos. Using torrents to download copyrighted material without permission is, of course, illegal.
