I realize they needed to make a dime to keep 1337x running. However little by little they have been slinging more and more popups before they let you access anything and I am a member. I can't even get into their chat anymore, let alone trying to grab a magnet link to download anything they list.
The admins have turned a once most respected resource on the Internet into a complete waste of time. Using Chrome stripped of all blockers and protections, no matter what I try, 1337x serves me is a bunch of popups for ads, nothing else except if I am lucky after 3 or so popups, I might finally get to the page that lists magnet and torrent links. The worst part is while looking for a link for a application, no way related to pron, I get popups w/boobies and naked women which is tough to explain to my GF sitting in the same room. Is 1337x getting ready to shut down? If so they are doing one heck of a job. This is the same site I once used to recommend as the #1 public torrent indexer. How could things go from that to what it currently is? Change of leadership, no doubt. I wouldn't wipe my butt with 1337x now.
 
I use 1337x daily with Tor page of Brave browser, and I don´t see nothing but torrents...
Alas, I can't remmember last time I see a poop up or any advertising online...
And I've been so happy... 8*D

OK Bro. Haven't tried w/ Brave. Not sure, did you mean use Tor to access 1337x. Tor kind of gives me second thoughts since it is so secretive. But if it works, I'll give it a try. 1337x is unusable w/Chrome.

if you can1t connect with a simple Brave window, you can launch a Tor window right from Braves hamburguer menu, at top right of interface... it will take a second to connect, then you're on.. Tor windows will not diplay any poop-up or advertising as neither any other normal window will...
 
I still can't get magnet links. I may be chasing software that's suddenly unavailable whatever that means. I am sure AFA Social can steer me straight. I am more a Usenet guy, however that means no bleeding edge software. On the video side I have everything I need as soon as I need it.

right click over the link, and copy link address and paste @ your torrenting software...

After I read your comment, I logged in and did a random search for Snagit with no problems at all. I use uBlock Origin to block their popup.
 
Turning adblock and all other Brave's shields off seem to have solved communication problems with 1337x.to...
Well, no, even with adblock and shields off I keep having the "your IP is banned" and 1006 cloudflare (damm) error messages... Will try with Opera, or other browser...
 
Just checked, they banned my IP address with a Sydney Server selected.
I changed to a Hong Kong Server with no problems.
That's one of benefits of using a VPN.
Last year I had a Sydney server connected searching for a rental in Darwin Australia. Anyway to get straight to the point I changed to a Hong Kong server and saved AU $900.00 on the same rental SUV for 7 days.
 
I suppose you don't have a VPN right ?
I was connecting thru aTor window built in Brave, wich I understand is a kind of VPN, no?
But Brave have a built in VPN function, too, wich I never try...
Now I can access 1337x.to using a common Brave window, without problem... Strange...
 
Torrents and the UK, simple answer, out Government is actively having ALL torrent forms blocked by the ISP companies in the UK. So so so so so sick of it. The internet is free for all, a platform for all and one of our Prime Ministers pet hates as he feels HE is the only person allowed to voice his opinion, anyone else tries they got arrested.
