Wonder how long that will stand. Also hasn't 1337 been deemed unsafe, or is it back on good terms?

Commenting so I can follow thread, I have been using 1337 for a good few years and has no idea it got into the bad books.

1337x.to is generally fine to use, just be sure to check the notes on the Megathread and use your common sense.

Context

  • When signing up on the 1337x platform, it's crucial to bear in mind that it's accessible to all users.
  • The act of downloading movies and TV shows is often regarded as safe. This is primarily because these files do not come in .exe format, thus reducing the likelihood of virus infection.

Risk

  • It's highly advisable to be careful when downloading games and software from the site unless you have total confidence in the uploader's trustworthiness. Avoid uploaders like IGGGames due to their notorious track record of distributing malware.
  • Opt for reputable uploaders like DODI Repacks, FitGirl Repacks, and KaOsKrew to ensure reliable content and mitigate any potential risks associated with unverified sources.
