captcha being blocked in filehosting sites

hello,

I am using the EasyPrivacy+EasyList filters subscription.

I noticed that every file-hosting site, except rapidshare, has a captcha (you know that thing that says " Write in the box what you see"). The captcha is being blocked via adblock plus, so I had to enter exceptions for 4 file-hosting sites to be able to enter the captcha and download from them.

Why is the captcha being blocked? Is it an ad or a privacy concerned item? What rule should I disable at the EasyPrivacy+EasyList list to avoid captcha being blocked ?

Thanks

What sites are you talking about specifically? If it's an EasyList/EasyPrivacy problem, I will gladly fix it.

I am talking about free download from uploaded.to or filesonic.com or hotfile.com. In order to let you download free, a captcha appears and you have to write in the space given above the word shown by captcha. The captcha apears too in www.tinypic.com when I am trying to upload a photo :)

I tried the sites you mentioned, all of them work fine with EasyList+EasyPrivacy. It looks like one of your own rules or other subscriptions is causing the problem, check the Blockable items list or "My * Rules" in ABP preferences.

Yep.
