I have heard that Vitality torrents are reliable, but that problem is you have to be certain it is Vitality. Some scammers will put Vitality in the torrent name and it isn't actually Vitality. You have to screen comments cautiously. So many comments are made by complete idiots. I only read comments that are intelligently written and seem credible. Beyond that, some uploaders will use sock accounts and comment on their own torrents to scam people. If there is no comments or even one negative comment, I personally would not download it.
I don't know much about the pirating scene, but I think that anyone who tries to add the Vitality name (or other well-known name) to their crack will probably learn very quickly that it is not a good idea to piss off people who are good at cracking software security. If they can crack software security, they can probably crack system security too.

If you're really paranoid, Demonoid I believe is one of the safest torrent site, they don't have any fake ones. TPB also remove fake torrents pretty quick, AFAIK. ;) For the groups, Vitality, RELOADED, Hatred, Fairlight are the ones I trust :P

There are usually at least two such torrents. If they differ in size significantly, something is wrong. Also, check for the NFO.

Well, it's all done now. Everything went smoothly, except that I play in UK English for the sake of the 24 hour clock, and the torrented version defaulted to US English, which means that I got the shat-upon-names bug, but luckily I'm paranoid and kept a backup, even if it means that some time I should be spending working will be spent fixing the game. :D

So... I've got Seasons installed and working fine, so I decided I might as well take a leap and install BV and maybe FT as well. These are my concerns, though:
I have Squinge stuff. I don't know if it's safe to use or not. It isn't much... SavageNoRelChange and SpyOnNeighbours.
I have Crammyboy's nudist mod. It's been updated for BV and FT, but apparently the FT version I found conflicts with an Awesome Hack, and I can't have that. I can live without it, I suppose, but I'd rather not.
Umm... I guess these are my only major concerns at the moment. As you can see, I'm not exactly used to this whole going-through-everything-in-Downloads-and-making-sure-it's-all-up-to-date thing... I played with Pets as my latest expansion for practically eternity.
