For crying out aloud!

I'm trying to download some vid from crapidshare and I my lack of intelligence is being tested with this twisted test (check attachment).

What does it want? It allows you to type four letters and wtf omg stfu goddammit FAIL!

*throws monitor throw the window*

Found any good vids at /hc/?

Yep, nuttin' worse than having a boner and having to squint for kittens. A man's gotta jump through hoops these days.

7RBK?

Rapidshare Cats, epic fail examples, i hear mustang everyday beeing pissed about that

It wants you to enter those four letters that got this kitty-pic attached to it - in your cas 7RBK... If you look closely, there is one letter with another symbol attached to it, so you don't type that in...

That made my day.

Edit: The 7 and the K kind of look like they have a different cat. You have to turn your head....

Anyone has any spare nukes?

Damn pussy everywhere!

EDIT: even the cat looks like it has had its ass amputated. Poor little bastard. Epic fail

They're not always 5 to choose from, they're occasionally like 8-10 so they're smaller and more of a pain in the arse.

Hooray for RS having happy hours the past couple of months though, no waiting or searching for kitty.

Sheesh, what are these guys smoking?! Every time I need to download something from rshare they have a new version of this crap. But the current one just takes the cake. Next thing you know, they'll ask you to enter characters where the cat is a male.illepall

They do everything to piss people off so you buy a membership.They ask for letters...but you need to put numbers too.They flip the cats so you get confused and then the O looks like 0.

Ehh, rapidshare suxx

Give graces while they ask see the cats...

I almost made a thread on this same topic a few weeks ago when I was trying to download MSN messenger on someone elses PC (and the Microsoft link was only letting me download the downloader (which crashed) rather than the real thing).

@fujiwara - I think that's how the cats make me feel

Haha fujiwara, brilliant

It's all about the premium account tbh.

I gave up on those stupid cats. Whatever it was I was trying to download at the time just wasn't worth it. :cat3:

This thing has a name too, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA

But yeah, first time I saw these cats it I thought it was some kind of joke.

Quote from SilverArrows77 :

exactly why more people should upload using www.mediafire.com - a lot less hassle

:iagree: www.mediafire.com ftw. I find it quicker and and the best thing is it's free.

maybe JRBk; 7 isn't a letter

I never use rabidshare, and I have no objection to anyone airstriking them. These cats are unreadable.

Why couldn't they just use a simple question like "Where is Paris?" or "Are you a human" or something? Or just provide a sentence with some typos in it and ask people to write it in properly.

All this crap so that bots can't download their stuff...

What a lot of bollocks.

I just gave up and said to hell with it last time i encounted those stupid cats.

20. Dont host on a slow web server. I pay good money for a 20mbit connection I want it to work at 20mbit dammit. You skimping on your server costs is directly wasting my life and therefore - literally - killing me. If you want to remove time from my lifespan then make sure what you put on the web is damned well worth my life.
