Issues Downloading Pixelmon

So I went to https://www.reforged.gg/ and attempted to download the mod... however, my antivirus identified the URL it redirected me to as a threat. I really would like to get this mod but I'm not willing to take the risk of getting malware as a result.

Here is what I did (putting brackets around the . and : for safety reasons, remove when copy/pasting URL) :
https://www.reforged.gg/ --> clicked download--> http[:]//turboagram[.]com/4xUk-->briskgram[.]net--> Antivirus blocks the site

Can this be fixed? Is there anywhere else I can download the mod?

This warning may have resulted from the place hosting the download also being known for hosting other malicious downloads, thus it is blacklisted? I think it should really be put on CurseForge or something so no redirects to sketchy sites would be necessary.

Thanks,
~JoltLiz :)

The base download page (a common redirect service, dunno why they use the shady domains -- guessing it's for getting around site filters) should be safe, but the ads on it don't always behave right. If this happens, there shoooould be a report option somewhere from what I've been told.

I'm not a huge fan of having to use these services myself, but they do help cover costs. If the site still doesn't work for you, shoot me a PM (preferably on Discord, not sure if I'll see it here) and I'll get you a direct link.

I don't have one myself, but I'm usually active in the Pixelmon Discord. You can find an invite to that in the panel to the right, or go there directly through this link: https://pixelmonmod.com/discord
