Downloaded that torrent, thought it was weird that it triggered my AV. Usually I just assume it's a crack file or something, and even Windows defender will say it's a "game crack" file or something on the threat information.
However, BG3 being released on GoG I found it odd... And it wasn't even detected as a game crack file or wtv it's called. Ended up downloading one uploaded by InsaneRamZes which ALSO was detected by AV...
I've ended up downloading about 4~5 clients to finally find one that didn't trigger it... The amount of trash that was going around is insane.
The one I finally found that doesn't have a virus was from a private tracker. (which was the RUNE release)
Edit: Just checked on 1337x and this one that I had from InsaneRamZes has also been removed it seems. I can't actually find a BG3 full game torrent on there atm... But I did manage to add the tracker to my private tracker's RUNE download so I'll be sharing with you all too 🤝
