Suddenly, torrenting websites won’t let you download anything unless you first install a VPN. I decided to give it a try and downloaded the VPN they recommended (Avira—after confirming it was safe), ran a scan, activated the Chrome extension, and still, the sites won’t let me download anything. They just keep redirecting me to the same VPN download page. I’ve restarted my computer multiple times, but nothing has changed. Any ideas on what to do?
You’re likely using a fake torrent site that looks like the real one. I’ve been there too. Sometimes it’s just a small mistake like using “.com” instead of “.org,” or the site name might appear under a completely different address. Even if you manage to get a magnet link or torrent file, it often won’t connect to any seeds, despite showing many leechers and peers.
I’ve run into this issue today with htttps: // ytx . mx. It’s strange because I’ve been using ExpressVPN for years without any trouble, but suddenly, it’s not working.
