There have been a few sites where unwanted popups get through mentioned in
the forums, generally that's because they use Flash to get around the
popup blocker. Little Opera can do about that, currently.

Yip, I've encountered them on other sites (including www.spiegel.de);
I hate those flashys ...

No problems on that isohunt site, except the slow response from the server initially.

The server is a bit slow today. However, when it works alright it
gives me normal pop-ups, not once but with any new page I open.

Ah, the old one click opens several pages trick. Might try it with javascript disabled, then. Though when I did a search for Knoppix (as the first ISO that came to mind) I got my search results with no pop-up. Didn't try to go any further ...
