I believe that we should remove the download links from pastas and give warnings for having them on it. Having a link to an auto downloader is such a blatant security risk for the users of this wiki and lowers site security over all. Some would be allowed to stay as long and the download is checked and approved for secure distribution by someone as myself or anyone else that knows what they are doing. Trust me just because you have the latest anti virus and firewall doesn't mean that you are not at risk from such links. Someone who has a linux distro should be the people to check the links seeing as they are the least likely to get affected and have the proper command line tools to check the security of the files distributed. Until a link is deemed safe for the general public I believe it to be in best interest if we ban the use of said links.
