When i downlaod the file, it doesn't let me beacuse it says it has a virus.
After turning of windows defender and chrome / brave anti virus i was able to downlaod.
But when it did, Windows defender still said it had a virus, being a trojan horse.
I let windows defender do its thing and now everything is "safe" but without the spotiflac file

Is it safe to downlaod or am i missing something ?

You can fork and build it yourself; this is just a false positive.
