BootStrap.dat Torrent

As I'm sure everyone knows it takes FOREVER to download the entire blockchain from scratch. I was wondering if anyone knows if this torrent is legit and can be trusted? I've been downloading it for 3 days so far and am still 50 weeks behind and I have a 6mbit connection. I know that I could easily download the 16GB file in less than a day via bit-torrent.

Do you think it's safe? I specifically want to use the Bitcoin-QT software on one of my machines...

Downloading bootstrap.dat works, but i am not sure whether the torrent you linked is legit. This one should be:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145386.0
https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/
(Could be the same one you linked, haven't checked them)

The torrent from Piratebay is the same as the official from the core developers.
But the armory torrent is a little newer. I used it yesterday. I believe only 3 weeks or something is missing.

PS: Bitcoin-QT will discard the blocks from a non-legit bootstrap.dat.

The torrent is just the blocks. Bitcoin-qt still validates and checks to make sure it is the correct blockchain. It is very safe.
