Millennial here. The true answer is None Of The Above. The actual download button is just a blue link somewhere on the page, probably among all of the torrent info.

This is the correct answer. It might also be the filename shown. If you can put your cursor over that it might become underlined. All big Download buttons are not to be trusted.

It always irked me back in the day when cnet was still a useful source because they modeled their buttons that way. Then they eventually became the garbage the site appeared to be at first glance.

Came here to say this. Closest onscreen would probably be the grey "Download or Watch" button not trying to get your attention in any way.

"or watch" is a red flag.

The file name looks like a link, it’s at least a slightly different color than the other text.
