    When something is free, you are the product in normal circumstances.
    You can hide your number in telegram, and only use alias

    I had this issue with every google search till I added Goole to my PIA VPN exclusion list. Never get them now. I also use Realdebrid and Jdownloader and very rarely get a captcha.

    Like most machine learning, once I voiced my opinions on their actions, the kat-bots pulled it together. We now agree on how many damn buses there are, and what constitutes bits of bicycles.

    When the site admins embeds the Google captcha in their site, they can set the difficulty level. I have solved the captcha on Katfile and it doesn't appear to have a high score. Having said that, Google employs ways it calls factors to abuse it's powers and makes life more difficult for average user. Mind you bots don't run into such issues, only legitimate users like us do.

    So the problem here is not Katfile itself but Google. Also, would like to add, as much as Google captcha sucks, the newer replacement Hcaptcha sucks even more, miles and literes more.

    The people who set the files to premium users only should be banned from the scene for being douche nozzles.

    What is the deal with this? This is the third time I've had to spend 5 minutes doing captchas while using Katfile. Never happens anywhere else, only Katfile. And it's the only place that won't let me do the audio ones.

    Never thought I'd see the day that I actually prefer Rapidgator over all other ffs providers. At least they don't waste your time with this nonsense.

    Yeah I know what actually works. It's called ClickNupload (or an alternate access medium like somewhere else, non-sister-site). Katfile (aka CRAPfile) should be dropped and replaced with CNU. Krapid-gator isn't much better. Two, for-profit "free-file-storages" that are not free unless you have buku time to waste on their stupid asses... Dunno why the release groups put up with this shit since it seems in direct violation of the scene credo - "do not make money with their releases"...

    Strange, I don't have any problems with their captchas, neither with RG, which mostly plain text, nor with katfile. Can this be a region thing? :unsure:

    In a lot of cases it's more a VPN thing. The captcha's aren't really the issue, it's the banning of vpn access. Since i do not ever turn off vpn krapfile+nitrofuck are no fly zones for me and I simply avoid them. Especially when the "uploaders" lock the access to those two lamer "ffs" that are either slow as fuck (RG) or ban access altogether because you're on a VPN (KF/NF)... Unless of course you PAY first..

    Damn. It's okay to pay for things in life. RG premium is fast af for me. I can afford $15/mo for all the free warez I want.

    Captchas are Google's fuckery, they're desperately training more AI, so they abuse real users (you can call such people Captcha enthusiasts) to accelerate AI training

    If you are going insane with captchas, some of them are looking at your mouse movement. If you have high sensitivity and minimal movement it can fail. make long curvy journeys to the buttons :)

    Pony up the $$$ for an RG account. It will pay for itself with a few downloads.

    I never do the image captchas. Audio captchas are so forgiving and they never slow down for me. I've literally never got an audio captcha wrong and I have to 'guess' 25% of the time or so.

    ^^ people disabling ads, tracking, cookies etc... end up with those mechanisms not working, making Google Captcha consider you automatically as a robot, amazing right? xD

    congratz for training/supervising speech-to-text and text-to-speech AI models
