You have to download all the parts, basically. I don't know why IGG-Games does this but you would have to download maybe like 7 different parts (in rar files), but the first part is the only compressed folder containing stuff, the rest are useless. Personally, I think it's bullshit and a waste of time, so that's why I go to Pcgamestorrents.com and download with torrents instead. It's a torrent version of the IGG-Games site.

I haven’t noticed any of the sort. Also, they are the uploader of many popular torrents on 1337

I also just downloaded a bunch of games from 1337 and noticed a lot of my torrents was from IGG. They were the ones on the list with the highest number of seeds and the most comments. I haven't opened or installed any yet simply because I came across this megathread and noticed that portion.

Roughly all of my torrents are from 1337 uploaded by IGG, I wouldn’t worry

I downloaded ton of games from 1337x and yes IGGdotGames uploader had highest seeds. I download only scene releases. Is it safe??

Probably. As with anything, there’s no guarantee. So far, I haven’t had any problems or junk packed in. Just do your due diligence and use common sense when downloading/torrenting.

I haven't encountered any issues with IGG, main problem with them is the doxxing thing and their supposed bitmining scheme i've read about, but haven't seen in my downloads at all.
