Just be careful when pirating nowadays. There's this type of new malware called crypto-ransomware that encrypts your files and then asks you to pay if you want the decryption key. These are especially common on public torrent trackers.
And the number of seeders is not as indication that it's legitimate. Someone with a botnet can easily seed their own malware torrent quite a few times. And "legitimate" or "VIP" uploaders don't mean shit.
