    On Chrome I had sometime 5 or 6 different question, sometime I make mistake and it work, and sometime I know I don't and it say the captcha is wrong.
    Apparently their system is suppose to be easier by looking at your mouse movement and stuff like that, but it seems that as soon as you got some automatic process somewhere, it start to ask those question. In my case it was the jdownloader extension that open automatically the captcha in a browser page and automatically clic on "i'm not a robot". I desactivate the automatic process but I probably have to delete some cookies and other stuff in my Chrome information/history.

    So when I got something to clic I copy/paste the link in Firefox and clic the "Im not a robot" here, and no picture, it goes directly to the page I want to see.

    I don't know what I have to delete in Chrome to make this "automatic process" disappear from its history, I tried with a different session or private mode session and it's the same problem, only Firefox solve it (and probably internet explorer, but I'm not desperate enough to try, as it work with Firefox already :) )

    Captchas are a nice possibility to prevent automatic processes from stealing/reporting links but Google's reCaptcha
    sucks massively - especially when you use a VPN.

    For me, the normal one-click-pictures never work, even when everything is correct. Clicking on street signs
    doesn't even give me the option to click on "verify" (I only get the "next" button there) and it always takes me like
    10 correctly but wrong attempts to get the Captchas where the pictures dis- and re-appear slowly. When I'm at that
    point, there are only 2-5 attempts left to get through it (while waiting like 5 seconds for each picture to appear)
    and at the end it took me 3 minutes to go through (on every single site that uses reCaptcha).

    Btw. the main purpose of reCaptcha isn't to secure links and wesites, it's for collecting data from "real" users and
    send it to Google

    That's why I always try to avoid any site that uses that crap instead of taking a look at alternatives from other vendors.

    Whatever it is, five pages of images to click through is not being done to stop "bots". Furthermore if there are bots that can recognize images that well the amount doesn't matter, it would take it seconds to go through hundreds of images while a person has to suffer through this Google idiocy. Furthermore Cloudflare stopped harassing people with captchas but Google (and you know who runs Google, right?) actually made them worse lately by increasing the amount of images to click. Google & Microsoft... the two worst shits of the internet.

    Storefronts always works for me, Street signs are very problematic like which square to choose, i get less bridges but frustrating are cars/buses, always have to prove thrice or more, showing clicking until there are none left.

    But on some sites i see i'm not a robot, click it and it takes me to the site, no clicking anymore.

    reCAPTCHA is hell!
    I've spent countless hours this week solving captchas, being angry at captchas, or writing websites imploring them to ditch them.

    I had over $2,000 in parts for a new computer in a shopping cart and had to shop somewhere else because reCAPTCHA wouldn't even allow me to *attempt* to solve captchas and login. This was the second online computer retailer I abandoned this week because of reCAPTCHA!

    I think the person above who mentioned jDownloader might be on to something. When it sends automated requests to solve captchas they ALL get harder on unrelated websites as reCAPTCHA (google) is using a common cookie.

    I've turned off the auto-open captcha feature in jDownloader and will clear my Google cookies and see if that dials down the absolute hellishness.

    What is this? I use mipony. Does this apply to it? I am thankful and just solve them, but would like to bypass so I am listening.

    That's exactly what I'm doing :wink:

    This whole reCAPTCHA thing + "_______________" has been exclusively released on AudioZ by "_______________" who chose to ask not to post mirrors. Please respect the uploader's wishes = A Big Shit Combo :( :dunno:

    And when this statement is true, just wait few minutes and go around, you'll find this "exclusivity" everywhere...

    "I want complete freedom; no anoyances and (warez) site designed to my preferences"?

    This is some type of libertarian shit?
    Besides wasting time - like reSolving captchas - what actually, voting pro/cons accomplishes?​

    Hey Guys, I just found a trick that works for now !

    When your stuck in a endless reCAPTCHA loop, copy/paste the url in a new private/incognito window and do the reCAPTCHA from there. It works the first shot :wink:

    I assume that VPN users never had this problem, obviously...

    Let me know if it works for you !

    Great, bye, off you go then.

    If you don't like how that site works, or want to respect it's rules around mirrors on R2R's posts, you can get your illegal downloads elsewhere.
    At least we won't have any more whining threads and posts about how clicking a computer mouse a few times to steal software makes you cry.
