I was downloading a file off Rapidshare.com today, and guess what I see?
They finally acquired some common-sense! The infamous Cat Captcha system is DEAD!
The new captcha looks like this, which is very much easier to read:
The new captchas look like the letters were modelled off a flat surface, like a terrain. The letters look like mountains off the ground.
This is a most welcomed change, since the Cat Captchas were sometimes very tough to decipher, and a general pain in the rear. This will surely make leeching off pirated files off Rapidshare easier for us netizens! The new captchas sometimes are not clear, but still easier than differentiating cats from dogs, specially the tiny things Rapidshare used! (Is that end letter a D or an 0?)
Thank you Rapidshare, after soooo long, you are seeing the light!
