That´s odd - do you possibly have country restrictions for torrents?
I´m downloading HS2 since R4.1 with uTorrent and NEVER had any issues or malware alerts
![Er... what? o_O o_O](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
And also barely heard people complaining torrent issues since I´m present here in AI and HS2 threads.
To add pepplez what he´s not shown: to download from MEGA is meaning Splitted Packs, for newest Optional Studio Modpack there are 70 files to download !!!

Working with splitted files is always a pain in the ass, you have to follow an established rule to install it successfully. And while downloading each file there may happen a mistake and the file is "corrupted" and the extracting is stopping there with an error message.
Anyway here a miniguide how to work with splitted files

But I strongly recommend torrent download.
