The Future of Rapidshare Captcha – Geekish Fun

Future of RapidShare captcha:

Stupid Rapidshare Captcha and the life saving Happy Hour

Rapidshare recently updated their captcha code which is the most stupid thing I have ever seen in my life, actually in this captcha code there are more letters than the usual four from which you have to recognize four which have a cat in the background and believe me I have never been able to do that, this new captcha has been implemented to fight all the software that used to read the captcha for the users to automate the downloading procedure and it turns out that this captcha is even hard for the normal humans to read let alone computer scripts

but here comes the life saver i.e RapidShare Happy Hour,seems like RapidShare have introduced happy hour to calm down the frustrated users, Rapidshare Happy Hours are active between 23:00 – 17:00 GMT on Mondays to Fridays and 23:00 – 13:00 GMT on Saturdays and Sundays, and if you cant remember the timings then there is a firefox extension i.e Happy Checker that will notify you when the happy hours are active.
