RapidShare CAPTCHA will drive you crazy

April 24, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 33 comments

If you ever need to download a file from RapidShare be warned: You may have to spend several hours trying to decrypt their CAPTCHA pictures in order to download a file.

Each displayed letter contains the picture of a cat or dog. To proceed with a download, you’ll have to type in only the letters that include a cat. Good luck!

Thanks Amit!

    well it’s still more readable than some other captchas out there :P

    • Bruno says:

      No, it is not, this rapidshare captcha with cat is the lowest move i’ve ever seen a hoster do. No free user will like this feature, in all probability they’ll hate it and hate rapidshare for it.

      Adrive.com is free of that crap, no premium accounsts required

    I sure can’t read the damn thing. I had to download something a couple of days ago and I had to get a different picture three times, and then it took such a long time.

    • Kamikaze_al says:

      Try using a small program called cryptload. You can forget the cats and the dogs and the waiting time. It works for me on my Vista ultimate and is good.

  3. Mike says:

    Yeah, it’s pretty brutal. Definitely took me a while to guess which ones were cats and which weren’t. Welcome to the next escalation in the anti-robot wars.

  4. jack says:

    damn. this sucks.

  5. James says:

    Someone should create a computer program that can read the captchas for us.

  13. Rahul says:

    we should only type the letters contains a cat

  14. shanX says:

    Rapidshare is acting like a bullly. It’s time for some Rapidshare competitor to roll out…

  15. Jose says:

    When you are in a hurry and you have to figure out this capcha just to have to wait another minute because you entered it wrong, it sucks BIG TIME.

  16. el barto says:

    damn assholes, i become a rapidshare hater

  17. Exxon says:

    This is really crappy. I tried 3 times already and still no go. with each mistake theres a 2.5 minute wait period. Really crappy. I didnt realize there where dogs in the captcha.

    Really counter productive measure….I hate it

  18. kingbinary says:

    This shit is re-fucking-diculous

  19. adriaan says:

    this is so stupid.It is not like it will prevent less users from dl/ing

  20. Come on ! es realy easy… just look for the cat’s tail! es easy to recognize.
    it’s curly shape, make really easy to identify

    • Rapidshare hater says:

      It’s not easy. It’s really hard to pick the cat sometimes. If it were really easy no one would complain.

    RapidShare sucks”

  22. Reza says:

    at around 0600 GMT, they have a Rapidshare Happy Hour. Capthca images aren’t around then. Atleast they weren’t today. And it really was called Rapidshare Happy Hour.

  23. Reza says:

    Interesting to note. It is the next day, and the Happy Hour changed to 0100 GMT. I guess it’s random.

  24. Anon says:

    This is stupid. If somebody has a reading dificulty then they will find it impossible to download.
    And if you get it wrong you have to wait.
    Im sure a dissabitily organisaition could get RS done for this.

  26. Me says:

    I hate the new captcha, but it’s the fault of the ‘hackers’ that try to trick rapidshare.
    First there was noch captcha and no waiting time, then waiting time. Then a simple captcha and waiting time and now a fucking annoying captcha plus waiting time.
    Great, thanks Hacker assholes.

  27. [...] Yes, in a way they do. Read this: RapidShare CAPTCHA will drive you crazy [...]
