Every link on the page links to their azureus.exe file despite the link 
not being for the download, they also have a list of movies on the main 
page as well as a list of movie types in the sidebar which they expect 
you to believe you can legitimately download legally through azureus 
from that very site but those links also try to trick you into running 
their azureus.exe file and for that matter they could not legally allow 
people to download those movies. Another thing I should mention is that 
Azureus updated their logo (see http://azureus.sourceforge.net/) whereas 
on this site the old logo is still in use, if it was the official 
Azureus site as it claims to be the logo would be up to date and the 
links would actually go where they say they do rather then to the fake 
azureus.exe file.

I suspect that azureus.exe is the executable for the bittorrent installer from that site. I can not be certain as I am not using windoze. Nor, at this moment, am I running my computer from hda. Rather, again, I am using a live-cd. Still, nothing I'd be interested in. I do not trust bittorrent, too easy for a hacker to access the harddisk.
