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?

    Wait is that yet another torrent search tool that then gets searched through the built in torrent search tool? What?

    I don’t get the purpose of all these middle-man apps, am I too old for this?

      Its a centralized search engine to search all your desired trackers, both public and private. QBit search only searches DEX and PHP (or whatever the acronyms are) so you have no real control over where the files are coming from.

      Prowlarr is a better option than Jackett and will integrate better into stuff like radarr (movies) and sonarr (tv shows) if you ever want to automate the whole acquisition process.

        Oh do you know that QB offers plugins for public and private sites? I don’t have any private ones but they have a bunch. Plus you can actually search specific sites there is a whole menu for it. Totally doable if maybe a bit clunky I guess.

        Yeah I don’t get the Arrs.
        I guess it would help with the shows that drop weekly but it’s honestly a bit fun to hunt for them.
