from what I gather from my nerdy friends, downloading an OS on torrent is like buying a house from a shady contractor. It looks feels just like a normal house and you can add all kinds of crazy security doors and windows afterwards. But the builder can always get in your house thru a secret trap door they built into the house when it was been built and you will never know its there until its too late.
I am sure most are fine esp with alot of positive comments but my understanding is that root back doors that are custom built into an OS install file is really hard to detect by antivirus. So in the end, I think $29 is worth it for me for a piece of mind I guess.
