Since yesterday none of my clicknuploader links will DL and stay frozen in the waiting-for-captcha loop.

Is this host's updated captcha requirement something that will be overcome with a near-future update, or is it now like other filehosts that JDL can't work around and I should start using other link options?

I ask because links on this host have a limited lifespan (< 2 weeks) so I am trying to figure out what to do with the ones I already have in my linklist as well as what I should choose for links moving forward. Thanks!

Hi,
clicknupload is now using a new kind of browser captcha called "hCaptcha".
More information on interactive / browser captchas: Click

JD does support this captcha but there is no auto-solving out of the box and there won't be.
You can use services like "9kw.eu" in JD to let them auto solve such captchas.

OK, TY for responding Unfortunate that JDL doesn't support automatic solving without users paying for an external service. :(

Honestly, seems like all this says to filehosts is "switch to hCaptcha because auto-downloaders like jdl won't work anymore for free users" and essentially guarantees that eventually all file hosts will move that way. :((

majority of providers do not use auto solvable or crackable captcha challenges, and haven't for years. Majority used recaptcha until google started charging for this service, then hcaptcha(recaptcha like service) came in for those that didn't want to pay.
