  • In the Megathread, section 3-12 (Unsafe Sites), under "All Purpose", the first entry is 1377x-to, reason listed as

    Fake clone: (Crafted with cunning intent to ensnare unsuspecting users through deliberate deception).

  • However, in the Megathread, section 3-1 (All Purpose), under "Torrents", likewise the first entry is 1377x-to.

 


Edit:

Lol, got the characters mixed up, I guess. Whoops. Well, to all the people being nice about it and kindly letting me know, thank you very much!

To all the people being dicks about it (concerningly a lot of you it seems ಠ_ಠ), maybe learn a bit of humility. Some people mix up similar-looking characters in their heads. It's a thing that happens.

Unsafe site: 1377
All-purpose: 1337

Oh whoops. Thanks. He he.

one three seven seven
vs
one three three seven

And you'll notice that the entry under "Torrents" does not actually match the name you typed into your description text, as yours has two sevens. Crafty indeed, and they could stand to make this a little more obvious in the document.

Oh man you can be phished so easily. Read the numbers correctly.

It’s “leet” not “lett” if that’s easier to follow.

Assuming it's just a typo because the legit one is https://1337x.to/

Someone just pasted the same URL twice instead of the incorrect and correct urls.

The "fake clones" section should also list the original, for easy comparison

The people being dicks about the fact OP mixed up a character or 2...

That is the entire point of those clone sites. To trap people like OP who make an honest mistake. Some people who don't know anything about torrenting, but "heard about it from a friend" and then trying to remember what it was called. Or people with minor dyslexia. Or any other cognitive inconvenience
