1337x mod response on Reddit, seemingly confirming the existence of the torrent: https://i.imgur.com/ij4CXIm.png

They appear to be implying that it was only checked, verified to be malware and deleted... after the listing was vigorously defended by mods and users complaining that it was malware were banned. Very odd.

EDIT: Found an archived copy of the listing before it was taken down by 1337x mods. Includes some comments (up to yesterday).

User comments provide proof that malware was uploaded (and 1337x mods themselves admitted it was malware in the Reddit response), yet VitaminX remains unaffected on the site: https://1337x.to/user/VitaminX/

There are preserved comments from the 1337x mods, such as:

Ex0duS5150: the next user posting, "Trojan found" is getting the ban hammer. Stop it with the n00bishness. this torrent is not dirty if you dont know what your doing stop DLing torrents.

reply:

IGGGAMESCOM: @Ex0duS5150: thank you so much for this reassurance buddy, now I can breathe a sigh of relief instead of having to "fight" with those guys, lol.
