The developer claims that some antivirus software might identify Elephant falsely as trojan. From my experience with this software, one time it tried to download a tojan to my PC which NOD32 has blocked. Still, Ive decided to let you guys be the masters of your own and decide for yourself what is good for you. Personally, I’ve given up Elephant and I’m currently using the new bad boy in the neighbourhood JDownloader which works great or US-Download for few other file-hosting services which JD does not support.

Rapidshare makes changes to its captchas very often , makes it essential to update Elephant captchas images. Although there is an update mechanism in Elephant for updating its capchas, it is out of date from time to time.
