A good way to weed out the nonsense is to read all the comments included with the torrent you're wanting. If it's bullshit or includes viruses, it will be reported in the comments. Always check all the comments you can before downloading something. And if you're still concerned, scan it will both a virus scanner and a malware/spyware/adware scanner.

You can also judge by the amount of seeders and leechers. If either one or both are high, you're probably getting a clean product.
I use TPB all the time and I don't really know what BIG_DADDY is talking about.
