Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted March 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 The last couple of weeks when I've been trying to download shit from Fileserve I keep getting met with the message "Your IP has failed the captcha too many times, please try later", it's lying though, I'll go days without even going on the site, let alone failing the "captcha" thingy. Â Â How do I go about fixing it?. Cheers. Â Â Any advice given will not be used to stalk girls on dating sites, honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 10, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2011 The last couple of weeks when I've been trying to download shit from Fileserve I keep getting met with the message "Your IP has failed the captcha too many times, please try later", it's lying though, I'll go days without even going on the site, let alone failing the "captcha" thingy.  How do I go about fixing it?. Cheers.  You don't, unfortunately. A bunch of British ISPs have put Fileserve on their list of banned sites. Be and BT, for sure, and I think AOL too. Supposedly it's because of the fear of noncey stuff being available on there, but I think the block only runs to free Fileserve membership, so who the fuck knows. I don't even want to think about if they start cracking down on sites like Megaupload, as a fan of TV that isn't shit and therefore doesn't air on UK television. I'm not going back to torrents like some fucking medieval peasant.  Actually, did a bit of Googling and found this post which explains it better:  This is a problem caused by a lot of UK ISPs routing all url requests via the Internet Watch Federation, as we're all clearly involved in criminal activity. when you request a file from Fileserve it checks your IP to see if you're already downloading something. the problem is it's not your IP they see, but the IP of the IWF proxy. if there are several requests to fileserve being routed through IWF at the same time (which there inevitably will be since most UK ISPs use it), it appears that you're sending multiple requests.  the upshot being that fileserve is no longer accessible to anyone who's ISP subscribes to IWF.  ISPs should be a lot clearer on this issue so people can make an informed choice of whether accept what is, essentially, web censorship, or to switch supplier  Though they are legally obliged to block any site containing child porn, IPs are taking it much further and are filtering sites suspected of containing 'illegal content'. this includes file hosts such as fileserve.  Another post in that thread I've just pasted from, dated today, says Fileserve now works, as it's been removed from the list.  Just gave it a try and it appears to be true. BOO YA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 There were ways to get around it, be they are squashed quicky and the eggheads have to come up with new ways for us to get our free shit. There was a code in which you wrote instead of "www.fileserver.com" and it got it working, but thats been put to bed as well. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 10, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2011 I know the grey area of file sharing is such a tiresomely well trodden path, but is it really such a huge fucking crime for a man in 2011 to want to watch Conan O'Brien, from a country in which it doesn't air? The amount of fucking rage I've had trying to keep on top of American TV without Fileserve has been ungodly. Hopefully it keeps working from this point on, because it's a super retarded way of dealing with things. The genie is not going back in the bottle.

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 10, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2011 FUCK. Â Did you try it and it didn't work? Check the edit at the bottom of my post about Fileserve being removed from the bad list today. I just gave it a go and was able to download fine.

Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted March 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yeah, Woy. Still no luck, gutted. Â Â Edit. The Conan show's sometimes on CNBC, they seem to alternate every month or so between showing that or Leno, It's always a few days behind though. Â Edit 2:Judgement Day. Is there any chance then that my ISP might just be a bit late removing it from the bad list?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 10, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yeah, Woy. Still no luck, gutted. Â Maybe it's taking a while to filter down to your ISP or something. Â If it stops working again, there's a high chance I will kill myself. Â And yeah, but like you say, a few days behind. Not good enough in 2011. If the technology's there, I want it right away. And something like Parks and Rec, the funniest show on TV, is well into its third season and still not airing here. They can't be making the world all tiny with iPhones and shit and still wanting people to stick to the entertainment of their specific territory.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 It'll come back around again. Every few weeks there's a work around knocking about that allows you to download as much as you want. Hopefully it'll end up sticking. Its been shit not having the ability to download from filesonic and fileserver. Megaupload and hotfile are still seeing me through though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 11, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2011 FUCK. Â So how about now? Â As an update, it's still working for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted March 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 Still no luck here. Although earlier on it gave me a "You need to wait x0000 seconds before downloading again" message for a nice change of pace. I'll just keep hope that TalkTalk are being slow in updating what's allowed. Â Â Megaupload, Hotfile etc just aren't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev2050 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Has anyone got a Nokia N8? Â Are they any good? Â I've got it. The only reason you should get it is if you like taking a lot of evening/night time pictures, because with the xenon flash, they will come out better than all your mates pictures taken with phones. I wanted a phone with xenon as I'd had the N82 before, and this seemed to be the best of a limited range of handsets with the xenon flash. It takes excellrnt pictures. Â But........ I'm on my 3rd one. There are known issues with the handsets completely dying and not powering on which I experienced twice. Apparently though this is fixed now, so you shouldn't have this problem with a new handset. I think Android is a better OS though, and has a better range of apps. I really wish I could stick my camera on my girlfriends HTC desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Ive not purchased flowers for some one for donkey's years ( not a firm believer, but know the effect they can have), and last time I did was all sent by interflora type peoples  Now we are in an age where these things are sent by post? Thats surely not very romantic? whatever happened to the florist pitching up?  Im confused by the whole thing, because there are so many different things to consider and need some help, so any pointers would be great as lost in a morass of differing websites   What I'am after are flowers that cover these situations  a) A cheaper set of flowers for the missus at work this week, its leading up to relationship 'saver' weekend, but was just trying to show Im making the extra effort without breaking the bank cos Ive not got the cash  b) Some flowers for me mate who is in need of cheering up. Has been through a very rough run of late and could do with the surprise to show that they arent as alone as they think they are and put a smile back on their face.  Budget for a) is about 20/25 quid and b) is whatever is cheap but looks nice. I know not great but Im hardly Baron De Rothschild. Both would be going to their work address.  Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
