For a while, I have used Olate Download to manage the downloads I have up on the site.

Lately, I’ve been working on some stuff on the site here and wanted to update to the latest version. Since I last updated, it appears Olate Download has gone Open Source, but been abandoned? Not sure about that.

Anyway, I wanted to add some sort of CAPTCHA on the “Report Problem”, because I get spam everyday from the link.

So, I decided to try to implement reCAPTCHA, which not only provides the CAPTCHA stuff, but also has a useful purpose (helping sort out OCR scans of books).

I will let it run for a while and see how it works - if it seems to be going fine I might turn on comments for the files. I haven’t done so in the past because I heard the spam was too great.

Also, be keeping my eye on the project at SourceForge and see if anyone comes back to it.
