I would too. It's just that I'm a little weary of things were it could very well be a hoax. My computers been trashed too many times, and I've finally gotten it back to the way I want it.

They did use it for the search for an Anthrax antidote for the US-Army two years ago. Within a couple of months all molecules where scanned and the range was limited quite a lot, making further research a lot easier:

Preliminary indications are that we have narrowed the original pool of 3.57 billion molecules down considerably, having identified over 300,000 crude unique hits in the course of the project.

I've been running it for a couple of years, and I've never been infected with any virusses or hacked (knocks on wood). An up-to-date virusscanner, patched OS, a firewall and some common sense help with that too, but the UD-client has never proven to be any threat.
In short:
AFAIK it's totally safe to download!
