Does anyone know how to run qbittorrent and protonvpn in a VM? When I try to run the qbittorrent setup app I get this message (image below) and I don't see anything mentioning a VM in the qbittorrent [dot] org forum.

I am new to torrenting, so I don't really know what to do. I figured/assumed that torrenting/seeding in a VM might be safer as it is another layer deep, and that it may help keep traffic separate (inside the VM: I'd be using a vpn and torrenting, and outside the VM: I'd not be using a vpn and just regular internet surfing). Is this possible?

Thank you.

Does anyone know if these two files are considered malware? I see a lot of things in the behavior tab that seem suspicious (but then again, I have no idea, and am relatively new/dumb).

Here are the images of the virustotal results I am referring to:

Also, I did see there was an noticeable slowness to my pc after I extracted the rar files (I was in a VM).

Thank you.

Is it worth paying for a direct download website? When downloading for free it takes 6-8 hours (and for some reason it got interrupted and failed, so I have to attempt again) but if I paid for it I could download it in 3 minutes. I'm worried that the free version just doesn't support having a download take that long, so it will be impossible to obtain.

I'm not sure if it is safe, nor stupid to do so though. Specifically, I'm talking about torbobit (dot) net

Would you consider torrenting (from non-private torrents) safer than ddl? I can either pay the ddl or a vpn and use a torrent. Idk.

Thank you.

Edit: It seems that it may be 40MB and that the other 629 MB is from the Texturino plugin that generally gets bundled with it. I believe it is just two separated direct downloads. Not sure why there would be inconsistencies in the file size though (669MB vs 678MB)

Note: I am not requesting for a link nor a source, but rather I just want to know if I am direct downloading the correct file. Specifically, is the bundle supposed to be 40MB or 678MB?

I found torrented versions are 678MB, but direct downloaded versions are only 40MB. motka (dot) net (from the megathread) had one for 678MB, but the download is a 404 sadly.

Also, is the latest version 3.9.1? I see direct download ones showing up as 4.1.0, and 4.2.0 (which doesn't seem right to me)

Thank you.

Note: I am not requesting a link, source, nor a how-to, but rather I am curious if it is possible to use plugins if I have Illustrator from M0nkrus or Genp, because then I will know that continuing to search for one won’t be in vain, and that I am not just being foolishly optimistic.

Thank you.
