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?

The cool kids are using Prowlarr these days

God sometimes I wish I knew what that was or cared enough to go through the effort of installing it but I am so content with slow installing and also it's nicer on my limited storage.

I'm you!! Single searching and downloading manually worked good enough if you aren't like trying to make a library.

Prowlarr is good because it combines usenet indexers and torrents. Makes it very easy to search for anything and compare versions/sources.

It also integrates into the rest of the *arrs so you don't have to then manually add all the exact same indexers into radarr, sonarr, lidarr, etc, which is always something that rubbed me the wrong way with jackett.
