NYAA (nyaa.si) is the main domain for the NYAA torrent brand. You can find numerous alternative proxy sites set up for the same NYAA brand which is not uncommon for torrent sites as governments continually try to shut them down.

Similar sites to nyaa.si include 1337x.to, anime-sharing.com, note.com, t.me, fosshub.com, ouo.io, pixeldrain.com, appmedia.jp, rapidgator.net, and himasoku.com.
DESCRIPTION
The nyaa.si homepage had the latest torrents running down the page with two sets of links related to each of them: one to download the torrent file to my computer and another for the torrent magnet link. I was glad not only to see the magnet links but for them to be easily accessible from the homepage without having to so much as visit the single post page for each torrent. When using the category menu/filter, it seems like all things were related to anime in some way. Moreover, all of the links on the default homepage were also related to anime. I tried some torrent magnet links to check if they would automatically open in my torrent client and I can confirm that the magnet links did easily result in the files uploading to my torrent client which makes them genuine magnet links.

Is nyaa.si Safe?
I analyzed nyaa.si for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam. Here are the results:
I checked nyaa.si on Sucuri, and it returned as a critical security risk.
Sucuri says nyaa.si is a critical security risk because it is blacklisted by McAfee.
I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on nyaa.si, and it is clean.
I also checked nyaa.si on VirusTotal, and it is clean; however, it does have an unfavorable community score.
In conclusion, nyaa.si doesn’t have malware according to Sucuri. Unmask Parasites says nyaa.si is clean of parasites. 1 security vendor on VirusTotal (Seclookup) has flagged the domain nyaa.si as malicious. And 1 security vendor on Sucuri (McAfee) has blacklisted the site nyaa.si. OVERALL GRADE: Suspicious.
