Well, this problem went away for the past 2 weeks or so - but now is back. I can't afford to pay the $30US ($40 Canadian) a month for this service - very disappointed I can no longer use it for more than half an hour in a day. :-(
Yeah, me too. I enjoyed the past couple of years and the additions they have made were great, even for the free cams. Can't justify paying for something like this right now, unfortunately.
Unless their servers are extremely bogged down from high traffic, I don't really see the value in this. I was always under the impression that even free users were good traffic for "projects" like this.
Seems as though they killed the refresh limit. Been on it for about 45 minutes total throughout the day today and am now getting that message, refreshing does nothing. Seems the days of free users on this site are all but done for. :-(
Really the only way to get rid of it is to pay up or get rid of do a format. If you have backups, no problem. If not, you're screwed.
A while back there was a tool released that can remove it SOMETIMES (it has a database of the encryption keys, but not all of them). See here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2462280/cryptolocker-decrypted-researchers-reveal-website-that-frees-your-files-from-ransomware.html
Good luck, it's a pain in the ass.
