Why the rudeness? I asked a simple question… downloading movies and tv shows is always safe because they are programs. That’s why I asked. Didn’t expect you to be a jerk.

There’s a few safe(ish) sites. Your best bet is Fitgirl and DODI repacks, and SteamRIP. Make sure you have the correct URLs. Also check out the FMHY wiki.

Keep in mind that not everything can be 100% safe, just lower risk.

Thanks! So one can trust Fitgirl’s to be safe then? That’s typically how I do my movies is only use my private trackers and a few public

Yup. Fitgirl is safe. Though I prefer DODI. They’re repacks are bigger, but they install MUCH faster.

Though that said, does anyone know why DODI no longer has the goated status on the megathread?

It’s not always safe, and they’re not programs (in the computer sense). Despite not being executable files, a malicious media file can exploit a vulnerability in your media player and execute code. For example: https://www.videolan.org/security/sb-vlc3012.html

Thanks for sharing that! I was unaware
