5. Recommendations
- Verify the Source: Ensure the file was downloaded from the official GitHub Releases page of the developer. Avoid downloading from "Software download portals" (softonic, filehorse, etc.) as they often wrap the installer in adware.
- Scan the File: Before running, upload the file to VirusTotal to check for hidden malware.
- Firewall Warning: Upon first launch, Windows may ask for Firewall permission. You should allow it on Private Networks, but denying it on Public Networks is safer if you are on public Wi-Fi.
- Download the x86_64 installer or portable ZIP for Windows.
- If installer: run and follow prompts; if portable: extract to a folder.
- Launch the app; go to Settings → Concurrency/Timeouts and set reasonable defaults (e.g., 10 concurrent probes, 5–10s timeout).
- Import an M3U/M3U8 file or paste URLs.
- Start scan; use filters to view only working streams.
- Export results to CSV/JSON or save a cleaned M3U.
