How do I know this torrrent is legit(not a virus) ? It's about Shogun 2 Total War

[krstoserofil]

I am downloading the torrent in this torrent https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8941874/T...Precracked

And that's what makes me suspicions , why would this specific torrent file have more size than any other . Naturally my avast reported the exe file as virus , not entirely unexpected since it seems nobody made a decently cracked Shogun Total War 2 , every STW2 I downloaded had a file or two reported as a virus yet it functioned properly .


So any help or advice on this ?

1. Confirm Both the Torrent and the game Release Date with a Third Party
If the torrent is released before the actual game date, then do not trust it.
2.Check for 'Verified' Status on the Torrent
3.Always Read the Comments
4.5. Beware a Disportionate Number of Thousands of Seeds, but No Comments
5.You can't check it before downloading but you can check the file before you open it. For instance, I use Avast anti virus software [each to their own] and all I do is right click on the file and I'm given an option to scan with Avast.
Obviously as the others stated, always read the comments that have been left by previous downloaders 1st.

That's ok .

2.Check for 'Verified' Status on the Torrent

It has purple skull that is the sign for trusted , which means it's ok ? The uploader is called " tanauser " .

5. Beware a Disportionate Number of Thousands of Seeds, but No Comments

It's torrent containing a torrent , the original torrent is not on Pirate Bay that's the whole problem . And Pirate Bay comments are one of the biggest clusterf***s I have ever seen on internet therefore I avoid taking them seriously , since to many times I have seen people writing " this doesn't work" or " this is virus" yet the truth was way different .

5.You can't check it before downloading but you can check the file before you open it. For instance, I use Avast anti virus software [each to their own] and all I do is right click on the file and I'm given an option to scan with Avast.

I said already avast sometimes insists a file is a virus but that doesn't mean it actually is an virus , at least when game cracks are in question .

EDIT: Reading the comments it seems that vast majority of people do not even mention a dangerous software .
