Download does not start after clicking Download

[H48]

Seems 1337x changed something again since the Download button does not seem to do anything for 1337x. I have tried going to the torrent description page and the itorrents mirror works without any captcha and starts downloading the .torrent file.

Hmm, I'll test the issue and get back.

Just tested it. The plugins works perfectly fine with a non-cloudflare blacklisted IP address.
Nothing has changed from 1337x's end.

Maybe your download worked without a loading screen because you had visited the itorrents mirror once before downloading.

Not sure I understand this. If my IP was blacklisted would it then matter which way I am accessing the torrent?
Also, a cloudflare "Checking your browser before accessing itorrents.org" is visible but after a few seconds the .torrent file gets downloaded. No captcha or error message or anything.

Would it perhaps be possible to simply open the magnet link? That should work without any checks and redirects, or not?

The cloudflare message is what causes the plugin to break. When I say "ip blacklisted", I mean to say that requests from your IP address are went through a check before completing request.

I see the same message on my home connection. But when I use a VPN which is hosted in UK, the torrent gets downloaded without that message and the download button works normally in qBittorrent.

Unfortunately qBittorent's plugin system only works with torrent file streams and not magnet links.

Pity. I assume the plugin cannot be configured to open the web browser and start downloading the torrent file? I have to click "Go to description page" and start the download manually?

[v1k45]

Umm, technically it is possible. You'll need to change the url handler/torrent downloader function to use something like selenium to fire up a browser and then wait for the response instead of sending request through a usual http client.

Not sure if we're talking about the same thing. You are talking about browser automation. My question is:

• I search for "LinuxMint 18.1 LTS [Serena][XFCE][x64][x86_64][ISO][Uzerus]"
• Among the results is this page: https://1337x.to/torrent/2083978/LinuxMint-18-1-LTS-Serena-XFCE-x64-x86_64-ISO-Uzerus/
• I click Download
• The plugin parses the above mentioned page and finds the torrent is at "http://itorrents.org/torrent/0579504F990DBE1023D8E93AB12DF4F78B29C603.torrent"
• The plugin launches the default browser with the parameter "http://itorrents.org/torrent/0579504F990DBE1023D8E93AB12DF4F78B29C603.torrent"

Unfortunately I know neither Python nor the plugin interface. Perhaps I could simply edit some line in the .py file and import it into qBittorrent? Or perhaps it's not possible with the plugin interface and I would have to create a new file association for .torrent files where I handle these myself?

Would love an update on this
