Pakt have recently added a captcha to their claim form that now blocks automatic claiming of the ebook

@m8tt : captchas are designed to disallow certain actions unless the user can prove they're human and not an automated script. If this was trivial to circumvent in software, it wouldn't be a very good captcha.

After years of service, it would appear this app has unfortunately become obsolete. I'd like to thank @draconar for providing this software, and for the many free eBooks I've been able to download without manual intervention throughout the years.

All good things come to an end, thank you @draconar for painlessly allowing me to automate this for so long.

I have run this script for almost a year, and I found out that most free daily ebooks recently are iterating previous promotions. Thanks for the script @draconar.

Have someone notice on your packt account?
My browser that already logged in for a few days,
didn't require captcha.

But I still haven't tried again with the script.

@budiwijaya I still haven't bothered disabling the script, and I still get the error mails from cron. So no, it doesn't work yet.
