Coming soon: Megaupload auto-CAPTCHA / auto-reloads!
The release should be leaving the sandbox soon, and it’s awesome! Megaupload downloads are now so, so slick.
Update: we’re still stuck in the sandbox, what gives? maybe our addon overloards are busy with the new redesign 
Here’s the new flow on Megaupload:
- You follow a megaupload link
- Skipscreen automatically enters the 4 letter code (85% accuracy, with auto-retry when it fails so you barely even notice)
- Skipscreen skips the wait countdown
- Download starts
All of this happens in much less time than it takes to yawn. And it’s all possible thanks to code from Shaun Friedle’s jaw-droppingly awesome Greasemonkey script. Thanks Shaun!
Fun fact: the captcha-beating code uses a neural network. (I’ve been mentally drafting an email to my friends entitled “Our software has a neural network!”) In practical terms, the added neural network code meant that the filesize of the plugin grew considerably.
We also fixed a pretty annoying bug that affected some files on Mediafire. And we added support for Megaporn (it’s the same as Megaupload–just pinker–so we figured we might as well).
Last but not least Skipscreen downloads just passed the half-million mark last week. Thanks to everyone who’s blogged us, tweeted us, or been like “OMG you have to get this” when you’re on a friend’s computer. Keep at it!
keep up the good work
thanks
the captcha magic doesn’t appear to work for me
doesn’t work for captcha
you can it to work by installing the grease monkey in firefox + http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/38736
but as part of skipscreen, does not work.
It works in the latest version that’s in the sandbox… we’re still waiting for that release to get approved by the mozilla folks

WOW! I love it when people post MegaUpload links because you can use DownThemAll! on MegaUpload links, using a FREE account! I can download something that has 7 parts (all on MU) in no time! SkipScreen is freaking awesome!
