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?

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.

Yup, you got it! I had to tweak the filter a bit: 1337x.to###freevpn was 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!
