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?

Your comment made me check to see if the Jackett 1337x plugin was still asking me to install flaresolverr or whatever the fuck ever. And hey! It had stopped doing that, so I re-enabled it.

Jackett is absolutely awful software and is rickety as fuck, but as long as that plugin works, it's the best solution.
