[pic] Crazy Rapidshare Captcha


Recommended Posts

What he is getting at is there is not 4 LETTERS even there. Some of it its numbers as well. Either way, this captcha is retarted.
This type of **** should be banned, its so annoying.

Its only natural, bots and automatic download systems are day by day more sofisticated.

I always hated rapidshare, but when I seen this I just hated it even more.

I can barely read that bloody thing and looking for the details is near impossible for me, I have an eyesight problem, 90% of the time it's not an issue, but if I go onto a site that has say a size 8 or size 10 font, I simply can't read it and have to zoom the page. This CAPTCHA is even worse and I've got bob hope and no hope of getting it right thanks to the intricate details.

And you know what really ****s me off? It's deliberate. Go on, go onto rapidshare and try to download something. Wait the 2mins or whatever it takes to download the file, then "accidentally" get the CAPTCHA wrong (As I nearly always do anyway). What do you get? Oh, just sent right back to the very start and forced to wait ANOTHER 2mins, all just to frustrate you even more so you pay for their ****ty service.

It's a joke and is genuinely the first site EVER to have given me serious trouble thanks to my eyesight. Well done, rapidshare!

If you get the captcha wrong. just go back an try again. you don't need to wait again.

Yes you do. It's really annoying because sometimes they are impossible to make out, so you end up waiting and waiting. Anyway, this is what I call a captcha:

The math captcha above makes more sense than the current RS captcha. Earlier I used to manually type them in, but now those CATchas are so bad, I have to resort to using USDownloader to recognize the code and automate it.

Funny how bots have it easier than humans in recognizing captchas :p

Surely a bot could do the math one pretty easily? I'm sure it'd find it easier than a human :p

Captchas now are just becoming stupid though... They're so ridiculously complex that you can't read them. I don't mind captchas normally, but they get in your way and are stupidly hard then I can't stand them.

i would much rather go with the math captcha thatn that stupid retarded **** ... half the time i can't even read what the hell is written there ...

I don't mind basic math, but when I actually have to sit down with a pen and paper and solve a really complex equation I'm not going to be too happy :p The equation someone posted earlier would take me ages to solve too.

Yes you do. It's really annoying because sometimes they are impossible to make out, so you end up waiting and waiting.

I think it works on a timer of the sorts; like today I got it wrong (damn upside down cats and what not) and I just went 'back', corrected it and my file started to download. I think it's when you wait to long you have to wait for the timer again.

Or perhaps it has something to do with file size?

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
