![]() These things are really beginning to piss me off. They often don't work even when I select the proper images. Garbage software with a crap design and nonexistant consideration for the end user. I supposed I shouldn't expect more from Google.
One workaround I have found for some k2s links is that sometimes if you replace the k2s part with the fboomdotme it works and can use a catcha you type in. |

![]() Part of the problem was it isn't designed for what it's being used for. The purpose of a captcha is to prevent a bot from signing in or creating an account on a website- once you've created the account and signed in, sites are supposed to know you're human and not keep asking for captchas. Which is fine for web forums, banks, other login-related transactions. Of course filehosts want you to sign up and pay, so they want to provide you and I with the greatest inconvenience.
Which with Google's implementation of Recaptcha V2, the more captchas you solve the more it thinks you're a bot. "Normal" captcha use is four or five a week from different sites, not a dozen a day from each site one after another. To Google that looks like a "captcha farm", which exist in India and other countries where spammers pay people to solve captchas for their bots to create fake users on forums, social media, and comments pages. Downloaders aren't the only ones complaining- there are people who spend their days entering contests and sweepstakes, dozens a day. Those are "protected" by captchas as well. I've been scouring the net to see what other folks are doing about the harder and harder captchas and find that it's common everywhere that doesn't follow what Google thinks is "normal" use. Through some research I've found the difficulty level pretty much follows several stages depending on your IP address' "Reputation". And it's site specific- you could have a good reputation on one site and a bad one on another, but once you hit the worst reputation you're locked out. 1) The best reputation, you get the "I'm not a robot" checkbox and that's it. If you solve one or 2 captchas a week TOTAL, that's usually what you get. 2) Solve a few more than that per site and you get the next stage, which is one puzzle, with no fading squares. Click the matching tiles, hit verify, done. 3) Next is the fading squares or getting 2 non-fading puzzles, with the first having a "next" button instead of a "verify" button. You're hitting moderately disreputable territory here. Fades are fairly fast, though. 4) Once you're reputation is blown to shit, you get the dreaded slow-fading puzzle and/or the 5-iteration non fading ones (4 sets of "next" followed by a verify), and you have to solve 2 entirely different puzzles (making it look like you "failed" the first one. You didn't, it's just programmed to run you through the process twice) 5) If your reputation gets ever worse, you get IP blocked by Google and the "Your Computer or Network may be sending automated queries...". Fastest way to have that happen is solve around 20 captchas in an hour, and you're blocked for at least 60 minutes. I've had that happen several times in the last 2 weeks. Sometimes switching browsers helps. Sometimes getting a new IP address helps. Some folks use VPNs, but Google knows all the VPN source addresses and worse some are shared which hurts the "reputation" more than not. I find that if I use Chrome for solving captchas and it "locks out" I can switch to Firefox and it'll work for a while, but once Firefox get the "May be sending automated queries" message I'm locked out for hours, in which case I have to clear all cookies, browser cache, cycle the modem or even more drastic just power down for a few hours. Since my IP address seems to be locked (I'm on DHCP but even after powering off my computer, modem, and router for 20 hours I still got the same IP address) I can't just switch IPs. So, that's my experience with it. Google's Recaptcha V2 is here to stay; the very few sites that still use v1 won't be using it much longer, as Google is shutting v1 down March 31st. Uploaded was the last one I noticed to do the switch, though they've left v1 access for legacy browsers (!). |

![]() Yeah, I was thinking that too. I get the thinking behind the idea but personally, when someone pisses me off I am less inclined to give them my money.

![]() I just did about 20 of them to download one file from K2S!!!
Clicking all the correct squares or even clicking every single square, the bottom blue button will not change to verify, it will say try again and then you try again and again until you done countless of them, all of them correctly, before it changes to verify. Then you still have to do several more of them and seeing it change from verify to try again to verify until it finally takes it!! |
