Since when did 1337x start doing this crap? (lemm.ee)

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?

Cause you're using the wrong 1337

That is a fake

Is 1337x.to not the real one? I've seen it on there too

Yes that's the real one.

I'm betting all this new junk has something to do with their site getting DDOSed a couple of months ago.
