      don’t use solidtorrents

      SolidTorrents / BitSearch are great sites for finding torrents, just keep in mind they use a DHT crawler to find and index random torrents found via the bittorrent DHT network. None of those torrents are being verified as virus/malware free. This is true of all public torrent indexers that use a DHT crawler.

      Probably shouldn’t download binaries/executables/installers via public torrents but they’re usually fine for media file types.
