Rapidshare have implemented a new captcha system a while ago that was most likely be added to fight all the automatic downloaders that were able to fill out the captcha for the user to automate the download process. The new captcha however turns out to be harder to beat. Not only for computer scripts though but also for normal visitors of Rapidshare.
The captcha is made up of characters and animal images and the user is asked to fill in the four letters that have the image of a cat attached to them. The problem with that captcha however is that the animal images look truly alike and it is damn hard to tell if you see a cat, a dog, a donkey or some other four-legged animal with a tail.
If you concentrate you can identify the cats and fill in the form. The problem is that a wrong answer will load yet another capture with and you have to start over again. I’m all for protection and anti-spam measures but this one is going to far in my opinion. There are better ways to implement captchas. What’s your take on that new captcha ?
