		<description><![CDATA[I came across a great post over at Vitalsecurity.org the other day (part of the awesome Security Bloggers Network) about when security goes too far.  RapidShare is a great solution for sharing large amounts of data.  It&#8217;s ad and premium-user supported and allows for an unlimited amount of bandwidth (free users have 100MB file limit while paid users get 2GB file limit).

It&#8217;s ad and premium-user supported and allows for an unlimited amount of bandwidth (free users have 100MB file limit while paid users get 2GB file limit).</p>
<p>There are a few limitations or annoyances if you&#8217;re not a paid user.  You need to wait a certain amount of time before downloading (usually less than 2 minutes), you can&#8217;t download more than one file at a time and the zinger is that you need to fill out a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA" title="CAPTCHA" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">CAPTCHA</a> in order to download files.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.everyjoe.com/files/2/2008/06/what-797762.gif" title="RapidShare CAPTCHA"><img src="http://www.everyjoe.com/files/2/2008/06/what-797762.thumbnail.gif" alt="RapidShare CAPTCHA" align="left"/></a>CAPTCHAs are not usually a bad thing except when you can&#8217;t read it!  RapidShare requires you to choose the graphics that contain a cat but they are both difficult to read and worse off, not everyone knows what a cat looks like.  It usually takes me two or three tries to download.  I understand that they want to make it so that people need to make sure they&#8217;re human before they can download but their CAPTCHA requires a user to be super-human.  That&#8217;s not a good way to draw in more people.</p>
<p>Security is important but this type of security is ridiculous.
