It's the ad networks fault. And it's 1337x fault for using shitty ad network. But once you get into shadier and less commonly approved business, only options you have for ads are shitty networks that have nearly no ad vetting system. Which means sometimes you get shit like this happening.

MODERATORS
Pihole DNS blocking pretty much solves that, I never thought 1337x was shit because I don't rawdog piracy
Welcome to the internet.
You just close all tabs and open the link until it actually works. That, or you use adblock
Not getting any redirects on my end.
They are not allowing copying magnet urls too.
right-click copy URL works just fine for me.
Working fine for me on Mullvad.
I get url like this https://1337x.intrustzone.site/r?RID=B-OwQDv-MDAxNjU5NTEyOTE5 instead of magnet url.
Are you using uBlock origin?
Using Tor on android
These websites use clickstealing malware ads. Use Ublock origin.
But are you using uBlock origin? Try it on mobile
I am using a stock tor browser from playstore.
Confirmed issue, just gave it a test.
Adding the uBlock Origin extension to Tor Browser will resolve it and make the links proper again.

Heh... what do you know......
Rock on :)
It's working fine here. Are you sure you didn't get a fake version of the site?
1337x.to
It is the correct URL, but 1337x is filled with ads. It is recommended to use an ad blocker or something like Jackett, or you can use Startpage's 'Visit in Anonymous View' feature.
There is a trick! You first need to left click the magnet link, this will bring a modal vpn ad with (iirc) a "continue without vpn" button. That button is the actual magnet link
Lol I was wondering whether there was an actual intended way through. It still deters new users way too much though. What are they thinking
Yeah it's pretty shit. My guess is torrent sites lost a ton of traffic from API users (stremio, kodi etc...) so they have to squeeze harder on those remaining page views.
