I think it's more of an issue with supporting a site with a known
malware-based business model than anything else.  Yes, I could
cryptographically secure downloads from spam-are-us.net, but would that:
a.) hurt TDE's reputation?
b.) open users to potential attack if they ignore a single warning message?
c.) help spam-are-us.net advertise their malware?

If the answer is yes to any of the above it isn't a good idea to use the
service ;-)
