@dave247 Why? Only a few here are xenophobes.
Because it appears to be a torrent site... not because he's from Iran.
Why? nothing illegal for him. and nothing illegal for him to talk about here.

Oh I didn't realize ML was ok with people posting links to torrent sites. NBD or anything..

There is no torrent that I can find on that site. But I think you are using Torrent to mean something that isn't torrent, because there is nothing wrong with torrents. It seems like you are implying something, but I don't want to put words in your mouth. I'm unclear why a download side from Iran or a site that does torrents would be of any concern?
This site says "We have always received teh files directly from VMware, which will be shared with you without any interference." As far as we know, VMware's files can be shared as the license for using them is separate. Nothing particularly strange here. That doesn't mean that the files are good or anything, but you must be seeing something that we are not.
I expect these ISOs will give you a trial version or allow you to acquire a license for further use. From a quick look, it all seems legit and above board.

Really? Torrents + keygen usually = pirated software. The site is not in English, so I'm just going by what I can perceive.
I wouldn't download vmware-esxi-6.7.ISO from a site I perceive as sketchy, even if it's legit. I'd go to my.vmware.com for that...

Sure, but there are some gaps there.
First, there is no torrents that I can see. Maybe they are there and I'm just blind. But I didn't see any.
I didn't see any keygens there. Again, maybe I just missed it all.
Three, "usually" means pirated software, but doesn't necessarily. Lots of things that are totally legit are in the same form as something that is often bad. Heroin, for example, it's nearly always terrible, but exists as a medical drug for legit purposes (kind of.) -

Switch to Chrome, just his "translate" when the site comes up and it gives it to you in right justified English.
-
Here's what I see without any translation.
I tried a download, and there's no torrent. Looking specifically I couldn't find anything of a torrent, a keygen, or anything odd. Just an Iranian location hosting the files so that they don't have to pull them from the US, which is often blocked there.
Keep in mind that the hashes here only verify the local files and do NOT imply that they are unmodified from VMware. Caveat emptor, of course.

And that's absolutely the smart thing to do as someone getting it from the US. For a lot of people in Iran, that might be challenging and having a local host for it might be quite beneficial. In Iran this might be a very respected site for all I know (or it might be horrible, Digiboy isn't a great title in any language.)
-
@scottalanmiller then you're missing some of the page. I see Dell and HPE custom images then under that there is a link to a keygen
-
I can hear Scott now: "There's nothing inherently wrong with a crack or a keygen. I think you are confusing this with something else and calling it what it's not... etc"
le lol

Ah ha, either I didn't go down that far or just didn't see it. I looked all over for that somewhere. Yes, those look like key gens, then.
