    I don't know but you have to download some good firewall to make sure that
    some download is safe.

    I'm not sure you'll find anyone who is willing to test it for you. Unless someone has heard of the site, I'm not sure how much of an answer you will get.

    The basic rule of thumb on downloading anything is proceed with caution. There are typically big sites which are known to be 'safe' to download.

    I don't download anything from anywhere unless I know it to be a reputable site.

    If you do download, make sure your computer is well protected and up to date as far as your Antivirus, antimalware, and firewall.

    And after(if) you download the file, before you execute(double click on) it, maybe send it to VirusTotal or Jotti's for a scan of the file.
