Thanks, I will actually start seeding that on several of my seedboxes!
The torrent is just the blocks. Bitcoin-qt still validates and checks to make sure it is the correct blockchain. It is very safe.
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.

Downloading bootstrap.dat works, but i am not sure whether the torrent you linked is legit. This one should be:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcoin-blockchain-data-torrent-145386
https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/
(Could be the same one you linked, haven't checked them)

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...
