I know the chances of getting a virus or crypto miner on my pc are slim but still it never hurts to ask. Winblows antivirus flags anything that's cracked as a false positive anyway.

While I can't claim any personal experience here I know that it was slapped with a warning on the /r/piracy megathread years and years ago because of persistent issues with even skulled users uploading malware and nothing being done in a timely manner. This is really one of those areas where using a semi-private site like rutracker with real moderation or a private tracker or place that's dedicated to software (and trusted due to staff checking of all submissions) primarily is safest because a big general tracker like TPB just doesn't moderate for that stuff or have staff who actually check.
