I Don't Like The Way The Net's Changing

I miss the days when all that downloading illegal free stuff off the Net took... was just one click. A. Single. Click. Where have those days gone??? Now we've got word verifications and other such cuba-nak-kreatif nonsense. I mean, it's bad enough if we're made to retype random words but... they've been putting out random letters for awhile now, too! How irritating. How totally nonsensical.


And then, a few weeks back, I stumbled upon
the king stink bomb of all word verifications.




*&@^#%@)!$∆߈

Does free downloading really
have to be this bothersome???


Like, hello... You think everybody has all the time in the world to look for spastic-looking kitty cats in a mess of letters and numbers and play matching-matching?! Please lah.


Time is money, my friend!
TIME IS MONEY!


Considering that in this day and age, a large majority if Net users consist of those who crawl the Net for quick, money-making methods... *cough-bloggerswhoblogformoney-cough* ...you think they wanna waste precious time choosing matching kitties?! Forget it! Summore have to pick the selected letters out and then retype them in a teeny-tiny box. Haih. What a waste of precious time.


The glorious reign of the single-click-download days are deeply missed by yours truly. (That kinda means that change isn't always good, huh? Dammit, I hate it when find myself contradicting myself in back-to-back posts. Sigh. I blame my lack of sleep. -_-)

haih, what to do some people kiam siap have to troll the Internet and fish for stuff in rapidshare.

Mau makan ikan tak nak beli di pasar, tangkap sendiri lar!

Anyway, rapidshare's kitties isn't too bad. At least you can download. Malaysian can't even access megaupload servers, that's where all the good stuff is.

Yeah, Superfluous! Rapidshare still oK... Megaupload only have 100 slot for Malaysia.

luxen said...

hey, I ain't the one complaining. I appreciate free stuff. If they want me to look for kitties, I'll look for kitties if that's what it takes for them to get an orgasm.

Mega upload is similar to rapishare but more Americans use megaupload. However they have a download quota for countries outside the us.
There is a way to bypass the mega upload quota but its quite dodgy. Find free proxy servers online and cut and paste the link into it. That way, the mega upload server will think you're outside of Malaysia.

Just search in youtube and there are quite a lot of tutorial videos.

Rapidshare now has happy hours where you don't have to wait for the timer. Its during the afternoon our time. I guess its non peak hours in the US.

– Ya la. Damn irritating. -____- Wanna give free stuff, but have to make ppl waste time for it. What's the difference to them if they have such complicated verifications and when they don't??? No diff wat!


ATTN: yapthomas
– Babi, I'm not!!!


ATTN: SJ
– 100 slots? So means what? Me no gets the slots thing. When there are 100 Malaysians downloading then others cannot download already? Or only 100 Malaysian downloads a day permitted?


ATTN: luxen
– Haha. But the kitty hunting is such a waste of time! We could have so much MORE free stuff without that!

And eeyer... You so dodgy wan! So means only Malaysia has this problem? Cos... if we use other country's proxy, and if they have a quota too, then no diff right?

And too bad I can't download in the afternoon. My company's IT guy's always on the hunt for those who block up the servers. =(

Torrentspy and Napster are just the idea examples.

– I think most of us do. That's why I dun even put word verification for my comment box. I'd rather get spammers every once in awhile than make my readers verify themselves every time. COS I HATE IT, TOO! Haha. See? Do unto others what you want others do unto you. =p


ATTN: Robin
– Haha. No thank you. I'm rather happy with contact lenses and glasses. =p
