    non, you wait for the donwload to start automatically, if not, update all your adblocks and try the button with no url when you hover over it

    You drag the button. If it takes with it more than just a button, it is an ad.

    Millennial here. The true answer is None Of The Above. The actual download button is just a blue link somewhere on the page, probably among all of the torrent info.

      Gen Z here. I usually look for the magnet link to copy paste into my torrent client. I think that bypasses the download button problem.

        I might be biased against that from the ages of dialup, where torrenting almost always ended up failing if you also seeded, but you felt guilty if you leeched.

      This is the correct answer. It might also be the filename shown. If you can put your cursor over that it might become underlined. All big Download buttons are not to be trusted.

        It always irked me back in the day when cnet was still a useful source because they modeled their buttons that way. Then they eventually became the garbage the site appeared to be at first glance.

      Came here to say this. Closest onscreen would probably be the grey “Download or Watch” button not trying to get your attention in any way.

          Yeah, the yellow link above that is more likely due to that, the shape is also a bit unusual.
          But that’s why the link preview text exist.

    Stop. Install your favorite ad blocker, like ublock origin. Refresh.

      Why was it ever disabled to start with?

      Every time a dodgy site has asked me to disable it, it still doesn’t work, and now you have a bunch of tracking cookies and has to look at ads for other porn sites.

          That moment of panic when a DOS window appears and then disappears.

        No lie, this is how I learnt keyboard hotkeys as a kid. I’d click middle mouse to open a link on the site in a new tab, with my hand ready to go on Ctrl + W. The nanosecond I detected a fake site, I’d closer that sucker and move onto the next link.

        Oh boy did I bring a lot of viruses on my computer in the process in the name of efficiency & greed (& hefty amount of stupidity).

      About 2 years ago I spent most of a Christmas sorting out my MIL’s new laptop, uninstalling junk and whatnot, and I tossed ublock origin on there. A few days ago I came back to sort out the Realtek audio drivers which uninstalled themselves via Windows Update. I find she has an entirely different laptop now, branded as"Acemagic" but through the magic of forced Microsoft Sign-in ublock origin synced to Edge on this new laptop, and there was no crapware installed despite the laptop clearly being in use for about 6 months already!

      TL;DR install ublock origin on your parents computers to save yourself some trouble down the line

      Even with uBlock Origin, some pirate sites still have this problem because the ads either are not typical ad elements or are not in the block list. Very common with sites that host pirated android apps, in my experience.
