Is it reasonable to assume that a torrent is safe if it has a lot of seeds?

[jakko]

Surely something so successful can't be too dangerous.

always read the comments on torrents to see what others have to say about its safety etc.
i recommend using Peerblock when downloading torrents so you dont get caught out by anti-piracy companies

 

[PrunellaPrunella]

true, comments make all the difference. Plus you might always get fooled and not download a correct version of the file...e.g. download a movie dubbed in russian.

No. Assume all file trading is dangerous.

No.

Seed counts can climb quite rapidly as there are a lot of fools out there.
