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?

    ALWAYS, use an adblocker when you are on the high seas.

      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.
