i see what you did there.

Dear stormium,

Thank you for your continued engagement and understanding. I appreciate your insights regarding the integrity of files within the BitTorrent protocol and the importance of hash verification for ensuring file authenticity.

Regarding the recent issues encountered with the uploaded files, I assure you that I perform thorough virus checks before any upload. While I am unsure about how the file became infected despite these checks, I am actively investigating this matter to enhance my processes further and prevent any future occurrences.

As for the false positive virus alerts shown in VirusTotal scans for NSIS script-generated apps, it's important to note that certain antivirus programs might flag NSIS-created installers due to the nature of script-based installations. NSIS scripts are legitimate tools used for creating software installers, but their scripting methods sometimes trigger false positives in antivirus scans. It's crucial to distinguish between false positives triggered by NSIS and actual malware presence. Rest assured, I aim to mitigate these false positives while maintaining the integrity of the software I upload.

Additionally, if you'd like to confirm the integrity of the files in my account, I encourage you to verify them directly. I'm open to suggestions on how to enhance file verification processes or any other measures you believe would improve the reliability of uploaded content.

Your feedback is invaluable, and I am committed to rectifying the issues and restoring your trust. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,

[Q91]

.torrent data can't be altered post-creation, as Dickhead said, any alteration (either by changing filenames or editing files) will create a new hash, and thus a new torrent.

In these cases, you wouldn't be able to use your original .torrent file as it would force you to *download* the new, altered files yourself.

So either someone else is creating your .torrents for you, or someone else is uploading the torrents content for you... or you in your own NSIS (a program created to make Installers I have to add) knowledge is maliciously uploading these torrents with a bunch of 3rd party software added.

Dear Q91,

Thank you for raising your concerns about the integrity of the uploaded torrents. I completely understand and want to clarify these points to provide more transparency.

Regarding the process of creating .torrent files and the content they represent, you're absolutely correct that any alteration to the files or filenames would result in a new hash, which would essentially create a new and distinct torrent file. This process inherently prevents alterations to the original content once the torrent has been created.

Regarding the concern you've raised, I want to assure you that I am solely responsible for creating and uploading the torrents. I do not involve anyone else in this process, nor do I upload torrents with malicious intentions or include 3rd party software deliberately. My aim is to provide clean and reliable software uploads for the community's benefit.

My expertise in NSIS is solely focused on creating legitimate installers and does not involve any malicious intent. However, as previously mentioned, NSIS-generated installers might occasionally trigger false positives in antivirus scans due to their scripting nature.

I am dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety in all uploads and have implemented enhanced testing procedures to guarantee the cleanliness and reliability of future uploads.

I genuinely appreciate your vigilance and concern for the community's well-being. If there are any further questions or if you need additional clarification, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your understanding.
