mattm591, as for the flame towards me:
I'm not an retarded 28 year old newb PC user with a bad reputation of stating crap. I'm using computers since I was 5, and the net since it become popular in the 80's. I have a very high experience in a very wide field of the IT bussiness and know what I'm talking about.

Would you download the .exe of a program from a dodgy site? Hell no. Then why get the torrent from there either? How many people don't get Msgplus from the official site anyway?
DJCrazyMonkey is wrong:
Would you download the .exe of a program from a dodgy site? Hell no.
=> Even with bittorrent there is no control on where people download their exe's from!!! In fact, bittorrent is P2P (for the very last time ffs), meaning you download from a peer, not a website, that's the whole point of bittorrent and other P2P methods. It is quite possible that they are downloading a fake setup via a fake torrent (although with bittorrent this chance is a very small bit less then other P2P methods as it is somewhat 'more controlled', but still is very very high)
How many people don't get Msgplus from the official site anyway?
=> A whole lot!!!!! Browse the web to the numerous messenger related sites and check the download counts on their mirrors...

People do NOT know if it is fake or not in the first place. Why can't you understand that? And offering something legal will always bring other people on the idea to corrupt it and try to spread that. This is not some rubbish, this is what is happening already right now (and always has happened).

There is also the factor that whenever an official torrent is available, people _will_ attempt (and succeed) in creating fakes, just to countradict it, thus increasing the number of fakes.
