    If you are afraid to be "caught" don't download anything

    You're fine, just stay away from public torrents.
    THE BEST METHOD to run PSX games (and everything else for that matter) is via Retroarch - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/
    If you have any questions on how to set it up on Windows please feel free to ask, its very easy.

    I've always used public torrents and nothing has ever happened, saying that will just make him more paranoid.

    That's the only real thing to look out for, its the truth.

    He was asking about getting into legal trouble downloading roms. It has nothing to do with potentially malicious files.
    Not all of us live in countries that have ISPs dishing out C&D letters for anything and everything.

    Public torrents are no more risky than browsing from a legal perspective. Both can be monitored, and if you're looking at the wrong sort of material online you could be potentially targetted by the authorities over terrorism matters (among other things).

    To answer your other questions, no, I've never heard of anyone being in trouble over something like this, neither where I live nor in these forums.

    And literally, it's been years since I've downloaded a game. All I play nowadays are my purchased games.

    Dominator, don't post multiple posts in a row, it's not allowed. Use the EDIT POST button in your last post to modify it if you forgot to add something.

    We do not store logs of any user activity on the site. So we don't really know what you download - how can anyone else? Furthermore, we recently moved both the site and forums to HTTPS (Secure) connections. This ensures far greater privacy for all our users.
