which keep pooping up a prompt
Pffffftttttthahahahahahaha ohmygod my mind is still 12 years old sometimes…
Yeah I’m starting to get the ads too. They’re trying to get me to visit a few local marijuana dispensaries…hahaha how little they know me.
Again, this isn’t the only website I’m getting these ads on, so I sincerely doubt Mediafire has much to do with this. I’ve seen this happen before. Once in a while a wave of malicious ads will come in (even cutting right through Adblock) but eventually go away. Just don’t click them in the meanwhile.

My biggest issue is that I tend to batch download customs every couple of weeks. After a few back to back downloads, MediaFire then prompts for a captcha. Annoying.
If things continue to get worse, we can always copy CONs to 5.25″ floppy disks and mail them to each other.

Y’know, that’s not a bad idea. I’ve still got a drive around here somewhere.
Oh wait, those hold like a megabyte and a half. Guess we’re limited to very short songs and horrible audio quality.

Yeah I really wish you didn’t have to use a pro account to bulk download. That’s probably the worst thing about Mediafire.

Rock Band 3 on the Wii it is!
(Just kidding, Wii owners. Mostly…)

Well, this is a thing…

Don’t worry. Nemo will build an app to cobble together the song fragments from multiple 5.25″ floppies.
That app will be distributed on a 3.5″ floppy, though. And it will only run on MS-DOS.
And coincidentally enough, I just got smacked with a malicious Mediafire ad. Suddenly my computer is blaring about how it’s been compromised and I can’t close the window because a login prompt has popped up on top and won’t go away. I had to kill that window via Task Manager.
Sitting in the lobby of an auto shop during that one moment I have my headphones unplugged was not a good time for that to happen.

Better than moaning.

Well there’s the answer to my question “Should I try and dual-boot Windows 10 and an assembly language OS.”
