Is planetminecraft.com Safe?

Good fan site for Minecraft, but the creators are really trying to milk as much money as they can out of this thing. The forums, for example, are filled to the brim with ads. There's more ads than actual content! Ghostery found 44 trackers. FOURTY FOUR! Why on earth would you need that many trackers for a fan site? Suspicious to me.

Planet Minecraft is a great resource for downloading Minecraft mods, resource packs, maps, etc. It is a bit risky at times, because Adfly links are used to download content, and Adfly is pretty suspicious to begin with. Make sure you know what you're downloading.

Good site, but there's a whole list of flaws. The site always goes offline, and when it is up it never really functions properly. Like, for example when I want to sort "skins" by popularity all is good, but once you go to the next page, your search query settings (like I said, in this case the example is "popularity" disappear and then it shows you the "recently updated" again. Then there's the uploaders on the site. Most if not all of them link to a suspicious website. Most commonly adfly, but other times it's the site that shows up RED on WOT. Then after going through adfly (which takes 5 seconds, I guess it earns the uploader money after so many visits) you'll probably be brought to another website like mediafire... and from there then you face even more pop-up/ads/etc risks. I have an adblock and 2 antiviruses running and needless to say this sites just plain out annoying.
