A user named VitaminX uploaded bitcoin miner attached to an installed for BG3. The admins removed the upload after community protests went viral, but VitaminX is for some reason not banned.

Is the site compromised? Was VitaminX splitting the profits with a rogue admin?

    There’s malware all over that site, you download from known good uploaders or roll the dice.

    There is no such thing as a safe torrent site.

      Even private/exclusive sites get a bad torrent sometimes. At least there you can trust the comments, though, so it gets sorted out quickly.

        Doesn’t matter how good of an uploader you are or what position you are in. You shouldn’t trust anyone online sharing pirated material.

        Nobody is trustworthy.
