While a lot of the content shared on torrent websites is genuine and valuable there are also plenty of fake torrents. Looking at a torrents popularity and user feedback is a safe way to spot if a torrent is fake or real. However, an even safer option is to make sure your antivirus is turned on and set to scan the content as soon as you download it.
