3LGO, because the cat over 7 isn't sitting :p. I was stumped by that small detail too.

[AltecXP]

yeah 3LGO

[sanctified Veteran]

Did you even read the instructions? :huh:

[jordanspringer]

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.

[xinary]

This type of **** should be banned, its so annoying.

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

yea the Neowin community has been quite odd these days, extremely rash and quick to judge- oh well... I got it though it wasn't that funny.

Before I had a captcha "What color is the sky?" haha

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!

[Cubix]

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

[Kushan]

Doesn't that...like...defeat the whole bloody purpose of the CAPTCHA, then?

[brilliant naoki]

If you pay for the service then you don't need to wait to download. I'm not sure you need to do a captcha either.

It would be neat if they invented a CAPTCHA which required a sense of snarky humour. "What color is the sky?" "Grey. I live in Los Angeles" would be a valid answer.

[Rigby]

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

[tsupersonic]

:blink:

f that

[troist]

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.

[Kushan]

I much preferred that one that showed you pictures of animals and said "pick the cat" or something. That was awesome, simple and probably a complete ****** to crack.

[zeta_immersion]

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.

[NiceCarpet]

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?

It's a good thing vision impaired people don't need to download files.
