    The algorithms have gone batshit...sometimes takes 20 tries, clear right answers are marked false, and mistakes accepted, I've had to just give up multiple times because nothing works. Does anyone know someone that works for them? It's become absurd.

    "FFS services" are a joke. the best solution is to simply not use them... secured torrent is much more robust, and faster in the long run... IMO.

  7. good!

    good! Guest

    KF consistently sometimes works great, sometimes doesnt. The last few months it only worked on some browsers and was slow and annoying af to get the download started and even then would often timeout, this month it all works perfectly on all my browsers no issues at all. Its a crapshoot. Go figure.

    not at all if leechers just run away after they finished downloading, this happens all the time.

    FS pages give you the opportunity to always download, unless DMCA was claimed or the files get deleted due to inactivity, usually 30 days, sometimes 60 days, which is fine.

    KF works fine for me, captchas are easy, ads are okay.

    Hooked up to Debrid-Link and it works flawlessly.
    Tried for free and nothing worked.
    But once paid up everything worked.

    The past few days Kat will randomly let me download at high speed using the free slow download option. Maybe their website is spazzing

    private torrent sites that block you depending on ratio is not fun either
    its a shame only 20% of r2r releases end up on rutrack

    Agree with OP, normally the KF capta is fine, but last few weeks it's insane sometimes clicking squares for 5-10mins[every with correct answers] and finally just give up. Never was a problem, Doesnt happen all the time, but more often in last few weeks. Just turn to using a free VPN with RG links only when it occurs or wait for torrents.

    If you're on a VPN it makes you do WAY more. Sounds like that's what's happening here OP

    Using a VPN with fingered ip addresses makes it exponentially worse. Alone using a VPN at all. You're basically stealing from them stealing from you.

    Katfile (as well as most FFS) == worthless for those of us on VPN's. We don't have VPN's simply to turn them off when downloading warez.

    It's not just you.

    Some captcha methods are simply nonsensical in premise, though, and are nearly impossible to answer accurately. I hate when some robot tries to tell me I'm wrong about my responses. Am I training you what a moped looks like? Or are you telling me?

    PLUS, correct me if I'm wrong, the first rule of the scene ==> you do not profit from the scene. FFS's are prime examples of monkeys profiting from the scene. There's the "this file is NOT available to non-premium users" thing... And then there's the "turn off your VPN or buy premium" thing.... They must think everyone out there grabbing warez is a complete momo... Then you have these other sites that want you to "join their telegram" to get warez. Sure thing buddy. Tie your cell phone number to your warez download. Great move.
