It doesnt matter if you just store them for private use, it only becomes a crime if you share them, if someone else has the same file (hash) then that means you shared it, otherwise no way to prove anything illegal happened
if you download a file (not via BitTorrent), your downloaded file will have the same hash as the person who shared it with you, but that doesn’t mean you were the sender.
