@Amit99Shah what's the name of the tool that reports .torrent as malicious?

.torrent files are not inherently malicious; the testdata torrent.torrent is just downloading an Arch linux iso.

I will gladly fix this problem if the tool that you are using did some thoroughly checks and found malicious intent inside that file. But if it only looked at the extension and deemed it malicious, then I don't think there's anything to fix.

@gabriel-vasile it's a common practice to avoid any potential legal issues. In my case, it's FortiClient
I also faced this issue because playground/validator has got a dependency on your module.
And I was forced to just downgrade the validator.

To me, this seems a gross approach from FortiClient.
That being said, I understand how this argument can drag for too long so I'm willing to take steps forward once the problem is clear.

@FurmanovD, @Amit99Shah and anyone else having similar problems, your answers are greatly appreciated.

1. Is it only .torrent that causes problems?
2. Does renaming the file .torrent -> .nottorrent silence those "security" tools?
3. If answer to 2. was no, does encoding the file (zip, base64, etc.) fix the error?
4. What exactly is the reported problem? Is it security or legal related?

@gabriel-vasile Yes, renaming the file will solve this issue
