Getting redirected to a VPN ad page when I start to download using a torrent

Firefox Site breakages

I download my share of media using BitTorrent with Pirate Bay. Just lately, every time I attempt to download something I get redirected to a page, https://ultimatesurferprotector.com/lp5.php, that tries to sell me a VPN and I can find no way to stop this or contact them. I am happy with the VPN I have and have no interest in purchasing another. Does anyone know how I can prevent this from happening? Thank you.

Hey there, thanks for reaching out. I don't think there is much we can do there, this is unfortunately the website trying to sell you another service.

FYI I removed your email from the question since this is a public forum.
