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.
I have never seen this pop up with UBO
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:
And now works as expected.
Yup, you got it! I had to tweak the filter a bit:
1337x.to###freevpnwas what worked for me.The UBO UI is really bad, always has been. Just awful. It’s easy to miss customizing the rule once you select the element.
Pretty ironic that out of every reply in the thread, yours is the best answer and has no upvotes. Much appreciated!
Hey, come on I hadn’t checked back yet to upvote it too… but yeah holy moly that’s great to know and also still a pain.
lol, the most upvotes goes to this shitpost that didn’t even read my OP. Never change.
