Yggtorrent.si broken with Brave for download link

sylock · January 23, 2021, 4:10pm

OS : Pop!_OS 20.10 (derived from Ubuntu 20.10)
Brave version: Version 1.18.78 Chromium: 87.0.4280.141 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Description of my problem: on the website www2.yggtorrent.si the download of the torrent never start after clicking on the “download” button. If I try with Firefox or Google Chrome, it works.

How to reproduce

Go to https://www2.yggtorrent.si
Subscribe to the website and get a login (if not you can browse and search but not download)
Go on any movie detailed page. For example: https://www2.yggtorrent.si/torrent/filmvidéo/film/713084-cinema+paradiso+1988+vof+1080p+bluray+x265+dts-azaze?attempt=1
On the top, click on the green button “Télécharger le torrent” (Download the torrent)
The page is refreshed and become blank. The URL adresse is changed. The download never starts. If you try the same on another browser, you stay on the page and a popup window shows up for downloading the torrent file.

+1 !
I have the same damned problem…

Some solution ? I have always this problem and only on Brave. On Chrome, no problem…

Try turning off individual shield setting or turning off shields for that site altogether? When on the site, click the lion head icon in your address bar…

I have already done that… It’s work 1 to 10 … The URL is yggtorrent.li now
Ex :
https://www4.yggtorrent.li/torrent/filmvidéo/série-tv/699843-blue+bloods+s10e15+french+720p+amzn+web-dl+dd5+1+h264-fraternity

Idem than @Alandil. This is the first thing I tried. But it doesn’t change the issue. The url of the website has changed as said.
This website works with all other mainstream browsers.

Hi guys,

Same issue here. Any update ?

Alandil · April 14, 2021, 7:56am

Hi,

No news actually…

Try this:
go to Settings>Extensions>WebTorrent and disable it

Worked for me.

Hjlfmir · May 11, 2021, 4:48am

He man,

Thanks ! Works for me too

Alandil · May 12, 2021, 9:16am

Hi @Ufanlee
That’s works ! Thx !

Worked for me too. I talked with a friend who is also a Brave user. He also disabled it since it makes things complicated (unexpected behavior for a web browser) on other torrents websites, like thePirateBay.

So I would suggest that this extension is disabled by default in future Brave releases.
