Human test when running setup from a torrent not working

Hey! After downloading a torrent and clicking on the setup, TPB site comes up in the setup window and tells me to login, everytime i try to do that it says that i have to fill out both username and password. What should i do?

Not a site issue.

More like a lack of common sense issue.

No legit torrent on the planet requires you to log into TPB to use it.

You downloaded a fake, and if you actually entered a username and password, you'll be sending that information to some stranger that has no affiliation with TPB.

The are interested in any number of things, but primarily, now they have an established account they can use to update yet more fakes and malware like you just downloaded.

They also can take your username and password combo and try it on every other site on the internet, since it is unfortunately common practice to use the same combo on multiple sites.

Usually that is a sign of a fake or phishing torrent.  If possible, I would recommend changing your TPB password and ensuring anti-virus is up to date. :-)
