jules Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 whether i use safari, firefox or chrome, i cant download any links from mediafire, megaupload, etc. it just downloads a 3 k file and that is it. anyone know what the deal is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 You can't directly download from links given to those sites, you have to go on the page and then go through all that Enter Captcha Code / Free Account / Wait for 60 seconds gubbins. That 3k file is probably just the html to the page telling you to choose your account type etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 yeah, what pete said. you have to go through the rigmarole of waiting X amount of seconds to download the files, then enter a captcha etc etc. no easy downloads from any of those sites really....rapidshare is probably the least hassle though.

jules Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 did that recently change? captcha on mediafire? i am definitely missing something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Member Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 there's no waiting, captcha or other annoying shit on mediafire. I have no idea what the problem could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 yea it is very strange and i cant seem to even find anything on the internet about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 there's no waiting, captcha or other annoying shit on mediafire. I have no idea what the problem could be. IIRC (I can't check due to the company firewall blocking such sites) you still have to visit the site though, you can't just 'right click-download' a Mediafire link to download something. Have you tried renaming the downloaded 3k file to an .html file extension yet ? My guess is that it'll guide you towards a solution .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 like i didnt finish downloading the whole file. say i am downloading an album, it will just be an empty folder or say the zip file was corrupt. etc. even with the captcha sites too.

mcbpete Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Can you attach any of your mini-3k files file on here ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the RIAA - they know you're downloading pirated music, so they're hijacking your downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yeah I wasn't gonna say .... It was my way of obtaining hard evidence to support the case. (I'd still like to see the file though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Have you tried downloading with the Pink Browser? Might be worth a shot yes! pink browser worked!! holy crap what a tool this is. every file i downloaded smelled of roses and honey. then little puppies were running around my screen chasing balloons. amazing, how do they do that? it works at home but not.... where? maybe some system in place "there" to block that stuff. that is what it seems like. odd though.
