Welcome to the internet.

You just close all tabs and open the link until it actually works. That, or you use adblock

I get url like this https://1337x.intrustzone.site/r?RID=B-OwQDv-MDAxNjU5NTEyOTE5 instead of magnet url.

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.

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.

Pihole DNS blocking pretty much solves that, I never thought 1337x was shit because I don't rawdog piracy

Not getting any redirects on my end.

They are not allowing copying magnet urls too.

right-click copy URL works just fine for me.

I just resort to other sites recommended by FMHY

I noticed this too when I tried going to the website on both ungoogled chromium and TOR. Every single click would lead to a porn site that was most likely filled with 300 pieces of malware per pixel. Was absolutely a terrible experience going to that website without a functional adblock like ublock origin.
