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?

To add onto this, jdownloader has that feature too. It's a download manager, so no torrents, but you can plug a link and it will crawl for downloadable files. Also, if your Internet is spotty, it autocontinues downloads that fail. It's easily the most useful tool on my PC.
