Downloading untrusted images off of a site that you've never heard of before. What could possibly go wrong?

"Like us on FB" popup. Yikes. Isn't uBlock supposed to block this stuff?

I like how the JS was slow to load and all the numbers said zero for quite a while. Zero users, zero experience but download now!

My first thought, too. The contact page and even the privacy policy is devoid of identifying information.
And the faq (aside from a zero-content privacy comment) doesn't even mention malware concerns, which is a pretty weird elephant to ignore if you're on the up and up.

Is it really that hard to download an ISO and mount it and do a quick 5 minute install and immediately make a clone of it? Then you always have a handy fresh installation. It would literally take a few minutes longer than using this untrusted website and the result would be exactly the same.
