Is it safe to use a downloaded file and seeding it at the same time?

My ISP does not provide me with access to the ARP Tables on my ISP provided Modem Router, this means that I cannot stop the ARP tables from being flushed (not sure if that's the right term) every 5 minutes from my Modem Router after the computer I intend to turn on shuts down. So far I have...
