        Careful, because 1337 had a recent scandal with Baldars Gate having a crypto malware in it and there was some involvement with the admins on that.

        Seems fine with media, but careful using it for actual executables.

          That was a >100gb download that took the moderators time to download and test. And the admins weren’t involved. All the claims of admins backing the torrent or deleting comments has had zero proof, as it was all hysteria drummed up by the psychotic cracker called Empress, who has had a long standing imaginary feud with 1337x.

          1337x can have malware in anything, as anyone can upload. The volunteer moderators downloaded and tested it as soon as they could. I’m sorry some people downloaded it faster, but there’s no conspiracy here.

          As with any exe from a non-official online source.

      hits every checkbox on radarr and sonarr

      If it’s public, search it. Bad, good, doesn’t matter.
