For me
occasionally , but rarely, I get the countdown & the next page can either show (or not) the captcha.
If that is entered correctly the next page is Rapidgators Home page
Disabled chrome ad-ons/extensions (adblock, etc) even smooth scroll ! I mean disabled
All extensions.
Different browsers.. all to no avail
They honestly appear to be making life difficult & 'support' say it must be my cache
I cleared that too,
numerous times
Looking thru my emails & I now recall I opened a free account 1st Jan 2015
by the 16th December I was removing/deleting my files out of frustration @ not being able to access them.
Something changed in early December 2015,
previous to that if I deleted RG cookies
Everytime I could get a fair chance of a download ,
since then it's been impossible for me.
In December I asked support why their cookies appear to be blocking my IP?
...it seems I found it
may have been an issue with my Internet Provider ??
VirginMedia are known arses for blocking fileshare sites
think I left it at that & since wrote RG off as a bad lot
anyhooo, that's just my experience
Thanks as ever for your continued help & advice to all members buttsie
