WTH is that?
-
When I click on any thumbnail in torrent, I see this stupid thing.
-
Now it's even worse.
-
Perhaps it's because that particular website doesn't allow hot links to their images? Maybe due to age restricted laws?
-
@Dracula975 The images on torrent listing aren't hosted externally AFAIK.
-
@frostycab technically yes, it is a different site, with different protections, if the site keeps serving those instead of real pictures it means that, to that site, the user behavior is abusive/predatory. This can be triggered more frequently if you have a shared IP (CG-NAT) or if you use third party tools to scrape the site.

Thanks for the screenshots. That "slow down" page when you click a picture isn't meant to happen, our bot-protection is being too trigger-happy on the image viewer. I'm looking into it. A refresh usually clears it for now. I'll report back once it's sorted.

@peterecko Maybe I'm a bit of a masochist but if I were to get that, although I'd be annoyed, I'd also be laughing. I'm tempted to try to force it myself somehow, just for a giggle.
I love it when the guys behind the scenes add a little humour or unexpected comment.
When, for instance, instead of getting "404: Page error" I get "Hmm. How did you get here? I didn't think I existed. But if I don't, how can I think I didn't?. Can I suggest you try again, while I think about this?" Things like that don't just soften the blow, they make me want to be hit again!
