Torrent clients historically have broad system access for performance, but this leads to security vulnerabilities.

A client with mandatory sandboxing would limit file system and network access to only what's necessary for torrenting.

Privacy-focused users would pay for peace of mind against malware and unauthorized data access.

Start with a minimal Electron wrapper around existing torrent libraries with strict permission controls.

The biggest risk is performance overhead from sandboxing affecting download speeds.
