Ropsten Sink

A sink to the Ropsten Faucet.
RopstenSink will help recharge your test accounts on the Ethereum testnet. Under the hood it will create temporary accounts and ask for ethers from the Ropsten Faucet, and finally funnel the ethers to the address you specified.

Caution

Please use at your own risk. And please show some respect to the Ropsten Faucet. Don't ask for an incredible amount of ethers.
