      Hello, I recently downloaded a lot of stuff but still have a ratio of almost 1.
      Now, everytime I try to download a torrent file, the site says "too many requests" and asks me to enter a security code number.
      When I enter the number, it says the code is incorrect.
      This happens everytime for the past two weeks.
      What can I do?

        This has actually nothing directly to do with your seeding/leeching activity and absolutely nothing with the share ratio.

        It is a measure against bots to crawl through all pages. if you open in a short time too many torrent description pages, the code will be asked to be entered.  Each additional page opened or page refreshed changes the security code.

        Here what to try:

        Refresh the page on which you see the code request, open no other page and enter the code you see.

        Then on the other pages, just refresh or close them, the code you see isn't valid anymore.

        If that doesn't help, change to private browsing in your browser settings and back to normal browsing;

        if that doesn't help, use another browser. Then after entering the code, the original browser navigation shall work again;

          Thanks, you are a super moderator 🙂
          I refreshed the page and entered the new code. Despite saying the code is incorrect, the torrents now download again!
          Didn't realize it was so easy 🙂

            it's too hard to navigate thru the pages.
            please, put bigger factors. i'm not a bot, but it's too difficult now

              The point of a Captcha is to confirm it's a human and not a script or other form of bot. Thus there should be no good reason to continue the nonsense of repeatedly requesting a Captcha during the same session. Some people are faster than others. Just because someone is fast doesn't make them a script. It's become very frustrating here.

                I too am now getting this message, and suspect it has to do with the passkey issue raised on the other thread I made.
