Are there safe torrents (executables to unwind them), or safer sources?

HAL.dll going has nothing to do with torrents. There was a system error and your hardware abstraction layer was basically corrupted, probably a bad shutdown or a power outage or some memory failure or registry corruption. A missing HAL.dll at startup is a common problem amongst Windows users.
