Suggestion 1 - Download Report Button
So I know these cases rarely happen as there's few bad apples in this community from what i've seen, but it's become apparent that some downloads aren't safe for users.
My idea is to add a report button next to downloads on game pages so that users can report the download if say either the game it self or the hosting site contained malware, viruses, etc.
This would simplify the process of doing so if someone ever needed to report a malicious file/hosting site.
Suggestion 2 - Black list links from known malicious websites/hosters
I believe in order to combat malicious websites/hosters links that lead to sites that are known to carry malware/viruses/etc. should be automatically blocked from being posted on the site.

Can you give examples? Is this happening a lot?
Not happening a lot don't worry i'm not saying malwares everywhere.
But it appears either some uploaders or hosting sites may intentionally/unintentionally spread malware.

Now this doesn't happen a lot since most downloads are hosted on the site, but still it would be nice to have these incase it were ever needed.
I find in a lot of the cases that it isnt RMN or the file hosting site...
EDIT:
All 3 examples you listed are bunk. Can you list actual examples of bad or infected downloads?

I downloaded the file. Scanned it with AVG.
No threats found.
It's not the file. It's not Sendspace. It's not udivision's blog. It's not RMN.
It's you and your PC with the virus.
