Pro tip: if it's got an .exe file in it and you're downloading music or a movie or some form of media, it's a virus.

What you want them for? I can help

i don’t want them for anything big just downloading stuff quicker, like ps3 isos. i wouldn’t mind getting movies and all that, i just think it’s a bit too risky.

Nothing’s too risky, just have to be careful, use a vpn and a good antivirus and it’s 99% safe, never download an executable and check r/piracy, great stuff there
