    How? Just because someone has a gate on their house doesn’t mean there aren’t criminals inside

    It’s the safer option to be sure, but never feel safe or comfortable while lurkin these here seas or you might get capsized out of the blue!

      For the most parts, movies and tv shows is generally safe. It’s really difficult to do anything from a media file (.mkv/.mp4) and as long as the torrent doesn’t contain any other weird files you’re fine.

      It’s with software and games that you really need to be careful. For software, I would recommend m0nkrus releases from rutracker.org . Google translate the comments on any release and you will see whether any release is suspicious.

      Games on the other hand is very hard. There are a bunch of really popular sites that will include some sort of crypto software and other questionable stuff along with their games (igg-games comes to mind). The only public space I trust to get games from is fitgirl-repack.site (this domain is the only official one). Other than that, I only trust GazelleGames but you have to find a way into that and I’m not gonna say it’s hard but its definitely a bit of effort to join.
