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?

Ignorance is totally fine and it's insane they don't make it easier to find since it's so helpful.

So it's actually enabled via the "View" drop down menu.
Will actually be the option that says "Search Engine"

And from there you should just see a little tab appear at the top underneath the quick action buttons called search with a magnifying glass.

Bottom right of the screen has the abilities to add more search sites via plugins and are really easy to import directly from URL and I like to keep my search just to enabled sites because some of them are in foreign languages.

Let me know if you need more help.

Hey, thanks for the assist. I got it working just fine, I'm really impressed with the function. Been using qB for years and had no idea this thing was even there. This is a real game changer, thanks again.

I'm glad!

It's really actually quite usable, like actually I think I use it more than any other search or site.

I honestly don't know why it's not on from the start other than maybe like a legal thing "oh they have to enable the piracy".
