    The bots are getting smarter and the denial of service attacks are getting more frequent. One must do what one can do otherwise the sites go down,Its a bit annoying, but not terrible. You should of tried getting online with a 300 baud modem, that was frustrating..

    In that case, I would be inclined to consider the possibility of my consciousness having been transferred to a machine-driven replacement body.

    I mean - If you think about it, this is exactly how it would play out, isn't it?

    One evening, you unwittingly say your last biological good night to your spouse, your family, your dog, your cat, your cockatoo. You get up the next morning and go about your day as you'd do every other day - nothing's changed. Or so you think. But everything has changed.

    Your original body is kept hundreds of miles away in a government bunker in a desert place with a Spanish name so unpronounceable to the average American that maps use the phonetic spelling instead.

    "Konjelladawrays day Kwearpohs, AZ" - Saying the words out loud seems to activate something buried deep in your mind. The words, the place, they pull on you, they twist your mind. It's difficult to focus. Cursed map. You fool! Put it down, put it down! Burn it! Erase it from your mind.

    They never gave you the ability to ask yourself the all-important question; the one that would change everything. Nevertheless - the doubts, those vexing doubts - they keep growing with every passing day. Like your own shadow slowly overtaking you.

    But they're just captchas. Silly captchas. Damned stupid silly captchas. How did they become so difficult to solve all of a sudden? Why now? Why is this happening? Why isn't everyone else affected too?

    It's so stupid of Google to always make things worse for people. But are they really making things worse for ... people ...?

    It was a little frustrating, but using my old apple cat modem, dropped down to 110 baud... worked.. but yeah, as you said, left much to be desired in the experience. :)

    Click only the squares, which largely consist of stairs.
    85% of the square consists of stairs, click on it. if it's only 10%, don't click on it.
    It's really not that difficult :no:

    What pisses me off the most is are those captchas that say click on all cars,buses, hydrants, bicycles or how many daisies when the others look like daisies but are sunflowers or brown eyed Susans or others flowers resembling daisies and are not the right ones , then the pictures are so tiny, dark and blurred and you can't see anything clearly. even if you resize it may still be too small, WTF !!, do we need yo buy 120 inch monitors with ultra bright screens just to click effing captchas. If you are on a laptop w 14" screen, no way to see anything. I'm becoming a really miserable grumpy old bastard in my old age. Sorry about the overlong ranting, but I've gotta be a member in good standing for the Miserable Old Bastards Club.

    Press the Windows key and + key at the same time to quickly zoom in (or to start Magnifier if it's not already running). Windows key and - key to zoom out. Magnifier app can be minimised away, shortcuts work regardless.

    some even acelarate the countdown
    ...
    dont know what ppl want , i have only 1 instance of capcha always....
    and if you go for mass download this way its your own fault
    ...
    and ppl who think capchas are only for nag purpose are clueless .....ever heard of DMCA ?
    ...
    and ppl complain about stuff should rent a server and start hosting for free and give full speed , how bout that
    ...
    ppl never listen how the ways are to mass dl in free mode and want everything brought up to their asses ...its so.......
    ...
    ah i forgot , ANONFILES was and especialy the new domain is totally useless for warez purposes or even general upload of tiniest rar files

    A little OT, but is there a reason (other than releasers making money of links perhaps) why workupload isn't used here?

    Fair enough. Thanks for your thoughts.

    I use them without problem on other places, and they have been solid, fast, and lasting... but I can see how traffic at the sister site, and maintaining them, could create issues should those problems exist...

    Yeah, pixel drain has worked well for me in the past as well. Fast like workupload, granted there is a limit for the speed after 5GB(?) a day...(which basically just drops your dl speed to something still above RG/KF/etc), and they appear to have been robust in terms of existence duration at other locations in my limited experience with it...

    I'm not sure if, as @Auen Fred speculated (or he/she simply stated as known fact, either way), if the nature of the sister site's ubiquity may also bring down the rain of dmca takedown requests faster, or the other possible factors.

    But I'm a fan of that service.

    A lot of times in life, when you don't know the answer to the question, a 95% pat safe answer to give usually boils down to an easy one in "follow the money", regardless if you are asking google/bing/duckduckgo/chatgpt whatever "is a whale is mammal?" kinda thing lol... but...hey, I guess there has to be some incentive for those who release and to do what they do sometimes other then the gamification and other reasons...

    I dunno. :)

    kind of both
    ///
    but these discussion is senseless without input of racers,uppers and admin .
    the thing is even if it changes ppl will still complain ,ongoing cycle .
    so they giving flying fck about such threads as long as all runnin as usual and no heavy impact was changing something.

    just my expertise

    With fucking Google captchas, it's not about what's right, it's about what the majority before you thought was right. Or what the AI thinks is right. And if Google doesn't like your IP, then it gets really funny: then those captchas can really turn into hell. Why do I have to prove to Google that I'm not a robot? It's the other way round: if Google thinks I'm a robot, it should prove it. :wtf:
