Searching for subtitles from within a player was always been limited and ungrateful, as some subs can show up on 1 hoster and not on any other. So it's always better to search for subs from your browser. I am also using Sublight, it's awesome subtitle searching program

It download newer installation files. I never had problem with it. It's listed and reviewed as safe on Softpedia. Don't worry ;)

SMPlayer is not a bad choice, but the installer version is bundled with OpenCandy as mentioned in the article:

Best Free Media Player - Gizmo's Freeware Reviews

You can download the portable version from the website, and still use PotPlayer so you don't miss anything. What SMPlayer is really good at is resource usage. In fact in the latest tests at PCMag, SMPlayer was awarded as the lightest media player among the 15 media players they tested. But otherwise you might want to stick with PotPlayer itself, because of it's immense features, great playback and insanely fast release cycle.
 
If you want good subtitles, personally I use Subscene.com, it works great.
I too use Potplayer and so far it has been great, made the switch from KMplayer
 
Here's a review of media players and resource usage: http://www.techradar.com/us/news/so...best-media-player-for-performance-2011-683569

I needed a media player for an older, Pentium 4 3.0, 2gb DDR ram, system (shush...it's very sensitive). I had VLC installed but wanted to reduce resource usage. I did a bunch of tests before finding the above review and came to the same conclusion. I like the SMPlayer GUI and it serves its purpose well.

I'd say test away and chose what suits your eye and works well for you.
