Not sure when this happened, but I just noticed I can’t download any torrents or magnet links on 1337x without clicking Download without VPN.
At first, I wasn’t even seeing the bottom half of that popup since uBlock was blocking it. When I added a custom rule to block the popup, that totally broke the download buttons, so I had to disable uBlock.
Is anyone else noticing this? I’m not going to disable my adblocker on freaking 1337x, I’ll just stop going to 1337x 😆
Unless that’s some error, what were they thinking?
Oh no the adblocker makes it worse here actually. It just blocks the buttons but the popup still appears and has no x button to close it.
This was an an insanely garbage attempt from 1337x to push their own VPN harder.
I have UBO and had to disable it, refresh the page, then re-enable it, and refresh the page again and even then I still get the popup but at least it gives me the option to click download anyway. Maybe it’s a browser thing, maybe it’s an IP address thing. I dunno but it’s buggy as hell and super unreliably coded.
Today got that, I can’t copy magnet. No need to disable UBO, just did “block element”, that created in my filters:
1337x.to###freevpnBG
And now works as expected.
