Thank you for the heaps up @eosarThis post is made in laziness and annoyance.
I would like for you to inform the community on kat that there are auto bitcoin miners hidden sporadically among a few of the files uploaded in the current week, mostly among the cracks for soft and games.
I will not name names of verified uploaders who fall into this category as i feel they share the same source and were too lazy to test their files more thoroughly. Just a friendly reminder to "check their shit" before uploading will do.
Thank you.
We have a report button. Use it. I will not inform anyone of anything that most pirates already know, piracy is inherently dangerous and caution should be taken at all times. Our mods work daily to keep people safe and things will naturally slip through.This post is made in laziness and annoyance.

That GofundMe hasn't been active in months. In fact I think it was shut down by GoFundMe itself a relatively short while after it was made.GoFundMe Link is currently down at this time

I can't edit now to remove the link.
We do, I suppose. Point of fact I've already found 1 ad that does lock up the browser and another that had an autodownload. Both have been reported.Are you still after information about malicious Ads? Recently there has been one that locks up the browser, Chrome and Edge. There's another which was creating an "exe" file of the file I was trying to download (although that may have gone now). There's other annoying nuances but I try to close any opening tab as quick as I can now. I have Adblock+, use Chrome, Windows 10 and am in the UK.
Yeah, I totally understand the fact that the site needs revenue and you can't be too picky when it comes to ads. But some of those ads/popups are insane, I hadn't seen things like that since I stopped frequenting warez sites over a decade ago. I'm aware that some of the admins might not view the site as an everyday user might so I thought the information should be passed along anyway, I hope it does some good.We do, I suppose.

I have no say in what ads are displayed, so I can't promise a fix, but admins have agreed to look at it. :/
ublock Origin seems to generally do better than Adblock. Also creating an account will pretty much nullify the ads completely. Doesn't change the fact some of them are clearly shady tho.
I've never seen this, nor have I seen any other report of it that I can remember. Will keep an eye out.There is a little "glitch" that I've seen recently as well, when downloading/adding a torrent a confirmation box appears, recently a 2nd one appears every now and then, not often and I've never accepted it but it happens.
I'll check out "ublock Origin" and see what it's like, Unblock+ has been letting me down of late. Cheers!
I had another user who reported that our search bar was broken for non-logged in people earlier today. Displayed no results no matter what you searched. Techs never noticed cause their busy prepping a new update, and I never noticed cause I rarely log out for longer than it takes to check something. It was fixed within minutes of my confirmation.I'm aware that some of the admins might not view the site as an everyday user might so I thought the information should be passed along anyway, I hope it does some good.
It's like it's adding another file for me but I can only click one at a time and I'm jaded as FLICK so I don't click things that I think are even the slightest bit dodgy.... Well, you know what I mean.I've never seen this, nor have I seen any other report of it that I can remember. Will keep an eye out...
Haha! I thought that was broken! Yeah, you can't search in the bar, you have to click the bar, bring up the search page and use that. Anything else is a waste of time....I had another user who reported that our search bar was broken for non-logged in people earlier today. Displayed no results no matter what you searched.

The ad should only pop up once(roughly 1 per page) and stay gone for a while. uBlock Origin will block most of it if you set the option to "block all popups on this site".Anyone know what's going on with Kat? If i click on most stuff, all it does is open a popup.
Thanks, in the end i registered, clicked 'verify me' and it seems to work now.The ad should only pop up once(roughly 1 per page) and stay gone for a while. uBlock Origin will block most of it if you set the option to "block all popups on this site".
Ordinarily I'd say the easiest way to stop 90% of the ads would be to register, but torrent side logins are disabled for anyone not an uploader while the site updates, so that wouldn't be super helpful right now if your just browsing the torrents.
I keep forgetting that 'verify me' button exists. Someone asked a similar question a few days ago and I forgot about it then to. >.>Thanks, in the end i registered, clicked 'verify me' and it seems to work now.
