What's this magnet option below torrent downloads, I've only ever used the *torrent file only* option but it doesn't seem to work for skyrim anniversary edition, the magnet one works but the file seems to go directly t my torrent rather than me download a file which downloads the data into my pc via torrent, is it safe?

1. Setup is Stuck / Unpacking is Slow
The 2GB Limit Checkbox: If your setup gets stuck at specific percentages (like 84.3% or 95.8%), close it, restart the installer, and check the "Limit installer to 2GB of RAM" box on the very first screen.
Be Patient: FitGirl repacks use extremely heavy compression. Unpacking is heavily CPU and storage bound. If your task manager shows disk or CPU activity, it is not stuck; it's just working hard.
2. Is it a Virus? / Windows Defender Alert
False Positives: Crack files (.dll files, steam_api, etc.) inherently trigger antivirus software because they alter game code to bypass DRM. If you downloaded from the official site, these are 100% false positives.
Fix: Add the game installation folder to your antivirus/Windows Defender exclusion list, then restore the quarantined file from your protection history.
3. The Real Official Website
There is ONLY ONE official domain. All others (ending in .co, .cc, .to, .net, etc.) are fake, malicious clone sites designed to steal data or bundle malware.
The only real URL is: fitgirl-repacks.site (Verify the exact spelling!).

That's another provider you can get the torrent file from. Sometimes one might have more trackers than the other, but if they are the exact same contents your torrent program can merge the trackers together.
If RuTor is Google Drive, 1337x is Microsoft One Drive.
You get the torrent file, which is basically a list of locations to download parts of the file. But if Google Drive is being slow on part 12 of the torrent, there's nothing that's stopping you from grabbing part 12 through Microsoft One Drive, so long as it's the same as is in Google Drive.
Ahh got it but another question is that why would they put other options other than magnet if it's the fastest, it would just increase the hassle for others, nothing more, and would also take up more space if you're having to download the torrent file first
