Where can I get additional Apple loops for GarageBand?

I am using a Macbook Pro, with the latest version installed, and I am working on GarageBand to remix a song, and I want additional Apple loops. I have found a website called MacLoops, but don't know whether or not I should trust the site. I just find it suspicious all the thousands of loops are free. The downloads are AIFF files. Does anyone have experience with this website, or know a malware free website to safely download Apple loops?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), I have NetBarrier installed.

If you haven't downloaded the additional content from within GarageBand, which includes 1,500 loops, you can do so from the menu GarageBand > Download more sounds..

One quality source for loops is http://www.loopmasters.com. When you sign up for an account, "You will be able to download a free sample pack from us. It's over 500MB, a €24,95 value!"

They also have a royalty free Label Samplers page which charges a nominal "£1 Fee applies per product to cover Bandwidth costs".

Over 50 GB library
