In order to get a virus through bitTorrent, somebody would have to post the malicious file on a tracker. For the most part, there are usually forums associated with trackers, meaning that if somebody posts a program with a virus, somebody else is going to report it. It's not that it doesn't happen, you just need to check out what you're downloading.

When it comes to something like the hipTracker, all the shows are from well known sources, and I'd hate to think that anybody here (except maybe foats) would purposely try to upload something malicious. Even so, it would be extremely hard, since only music files and video files are allowed (ie. no archived files -.zip/.rar etc., and no .exe.)

I've been using bitTorrent for about 2 years now, and never had a virus.
