    bit of a stretch to say it’s unsafe.

    I guess I need to point out the tweet that OP posted was on about 1337 which is what I was on about not the BG3 download. the perfectly safe content far outweighs any bad content ( I have yet to see someone hide a miner in a movie for example)

      it really isnt a stretch. as soon as the moderation team of the website doesnt care about, or even protects, the first malware infected torrent - none of the torrents can be trusted anymore.

      i for one will not will not get torrents from 1337x anymore, unless I’ve been sent to a specific one from a trusted external source (like game repackers, who do host their torrents on 1337x from time to time). the risk is simply too high, and there are better sources for games and movies anyways,

      So it creating an exe and hiding it from the task manager is fairly normal then? From the screenshots another bloke pasted on here, that looks pretty suspicious
