   @domi @fluoriteByte @lnl Yeah it's essentially a zombie that I don't think anyone really uses these days and almost nobody wants to host and is blocked by quite a lot of ISPs.
   
   Meanwhile other trackers have the ability to report torrents, but well typically when it comes to torrents you're likely going to pick ones with good seeding, so chances of malware are pretty low.

     @IngaLovinde @domi @fluoriteByte @lnl Interestingly I don't think I ever heard of something like a worm that relies on something like BitTorrent.
     After all most malware is kept small and avoids raising network attention. Constant traffic on software which shouldn't would probably be quickly identified, don't even need a security researcher.

     @lanodan @domi @fluoriteByte @lnl if I was a malware, I would also start seeding myself. Therefore, it makes sense that the torrents with the highest seeders count are infected with malware :rollsafe:
