cardine 0 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Recently Decaptcher has increasingly stopped working for me. I am paying a high priority payment, and even when load is around 7% it takes well over 1 minute (sometimes 10+ minutes) for a decaptcher to get decoded. Is it just me or is everyone else having similar problems? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lowno 2 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think they changed the ip for everyone. I got an email today about it and quickly updated my bots. It has been running really good for me. Recently Decaptcher has increasingly stopped working for me.

alcr 135 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I hope they solve their problems soon. We're including more captcha services in the future, but now you're pretty much stuck with decaptcher or ITT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbolapp 5 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I hope they solve their problems soon. We're including more captcha services in the future, but now you're pretty much stuck with decaptcher or ITT. Still having problems with Decaptchers response time as well. And I can't get ITT to work at all. ( http://ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2711-itt-captcha-solving/ ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cardine 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Could adding new decaptcha services be made a priority? Right now all of my bots are unable to run since Decaptcher isn't working (and the site ImagesToText.com isn't even online). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right now all of my bots are unable to run since Decaptcher isn't working (and the site ImagesToText.com isn't even online).It is imagetotext.com, and it's up here. But I'll look into it, do you know any good reliable captcha services with API? And decaptcha should work now, they're just very slow at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ayzo 6 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The problem isn't ubot the problem is decaptcher. If the rumors on the russian forums are correct then it looks like decapther's previous owners jumped off a sinking ship and the new owners (well known and high volume spammers) bought it so they could use it to solve their own captchas instead of offering it as a service for others which would explain the 5% server load but 2+ minute wait times for captchas. If you guys could please add support for captchabot - http://captchabot.com/en/ I use it with another program and it's great, $1 per 1,000 captchas and it rarely ever takes more than 30 seconds for a captcha to be solved. They only accept webmoney and moneybookers so you do have to load funds to one of those services and then pay but it's no big deal. They use xmlrpc to send/receive captchas/answers so it won't take much time or effort to add to ubot. If you guys need an invite to check it out just PM me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm at 29 minutes (got a stop watch going) for 1 captcha right now. +1 for the info updateand +10 for captchabot EDIT: PLEASE make this a priority as someone else pointed out without the captcha services pretty much most bots are useless.

ayzo 6 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Good news guys, up your decaptcher priority payment to $200 per 1,000 captchas and you can have them solved in 3 minutes instead of 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eazyz 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Should add beatcaptchas.com, they work way better than decaptcher. Decaptcher sucks, because of there cheap prices,they are swamped with work. I use beatcaptchas with another software I use and they are really fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cardine 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I think you missed the sarcasm. Also +1 for CaptchaBot Considering the unstable nature of a lot of these captcha sites it would be really good if 2-3 good captcha sites were added. Then when one the new ones inevitably has problems it won't be difficult to just switch to the next captcha provider. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seth Turin 223 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I'll make this a priority. we're going to get a consensus of which captcha reader to add next, and I'll get on it. ITT works now as of version 3.122. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lowno 2 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I was working fine with decaptcha up until today. This is no bueno! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lowno 2 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 You my already know this, but they just released a faster ip address. Replace your ip with api.decaptcher.com. I have tested and it is back to normal, of course today is the weekend and they have a lighter load. However when I try with the old ip and new side by side, the new works fast, the old, well you know 30 minutes to solve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ayzo 6 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 yep api.decaptcher.com works good (you can plug that in ubot), averaging 15 - 30 seconds with an $0 priority rate. We'll see how long this lasts but it's a positive sign, we still need some alternative services added though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asylum 0 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'm not sure if www.deathbycaptcha.com has a compatible API to work with ubot, but you can always send them an email to find out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
