GIMP Version: 2.8.10
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Beginner Level

While downloading GIMP with utorrent. I got two warning for websites that could not be trusted. I assumed they were necessary for the download. After that executables would not start. Regedit entry's seemed to be correct, so no other option than a clean install.

If there are more people with the same problem, it might be the download.

ps it was the only download in utorrent, no other downloads on this pc. I'm going to download the executable now, and not the torrent.

Just for info

You should always download Gimp from a known reputable source such as; gimp.org, partha.com and sourceforge.net.
I'm sure there may be other trusted/reputable sources for Gimp downloads that you could use. The sources I've mentioned have worked well for myself as well as for many other and are, as I stated... known reputable sources.

Downloading from the torrent is just as fine. The BitTorrent protocol has built-in protections against tampering. And the file you get from the torrent is identical to the one you download with a browser (I just checked....).

May your problem is utorrent. Isn't it the one that was found to be using your PC to mine BitCoins?
