      Only problem of hosting in a russian site, is that it’s going to raise red flags for many people, causing them to avoid it.

        Yeah, I have Russia and a few other countries blocked on my network. That is a no-go for me personally.

        Yes, I agree. I found this over the weekend, and immediately backed out and scanned my computer. I just figured it had been compromised.

        That mostly reeks of Classic Americacentrism. When a software is in a US site, it’s “good” but subject to DMCA. When it’s in a Russian site, suddenly it’s All Malware (Always Has Been)?
