Welcome to the internet.

You just close all tabs and open the link until it actually works. That, or you use adblock

Working fine for me on Mullvad.

Are you using uBlock origin?

[–] admin@lemmy.today 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)
[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

These websites use clickstealing malware ads. Use Ublock origin.

But are you using uBlock origin? Try it on mobile

[–] admin@lemmy.today 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I am using a stock tor browser from playstore.

[–] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Confirmed issue, just gave it a test.

Adding the uBlock Origin extension to Tor Browser will resolve it and make the links proper again.

Heh... what do you know......

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's working fine here. Are you sure you didn't get a fake version of the site?

It is the correct URL, but 1337x is filled with ads. It is recommended to use an ad blocker or something like Jackett, or you can use Startpage's 'Visit in Anonymous View' feature.

There is a trick! You first need to left click the magnet link, this will bring a modal vpn ad with (iirc) a "continue without vpn" button. That button is the actual magnet link

[–] dysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lol I was wondering whether there was an actual intended way through. It still deters new users way too much though. What are they thinking

[–] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah it's pretty shit. My guess is torrent sites lost a ton of traffic from API users (stremio, kodi etc...) so they have to squeeze harder on those remaining page views.

[–] Grumpy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's the ad networks fault. And it's 1337x fault for using shitty ad network. But once you get into shadier and less commonly approved business, only options you have for ads are shitty networks that have nearly no ad vetting system. Which means sometimes you get shit like this happening.

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 months ago

Pihole DNS blocking pretty much solves that, I never thought 1337x was shit because I don't rawdog piracy

[–] remon@ani.social 9 points 11 months ago

Not getting any redirects on my end.

They are not allowing copying magnet urls too.

right-click copy URL works just fine for me.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

I noticed this too when I tried going to the website on both ungoogled chromium and TOR. Every single click would lead to a porn site that was most likely filled with 300 pieces of malware per pixel. Was absolutely a terrible experience going to that website without a functional adblock like ublock origin.

[–] LiamTheBox@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

I just resort to other sites recommended by FMHY
