Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

I use Rapidshare for downloading schematic drawings that work colleagues
upload.
Recently I cant access any of the links that I have been sent.
Has anyone else had similar problems?

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

yes

i should be gettin around 900kb d/l speed but this VM is wack as ****

:mad:

im getting 100kb max & im on a 10meg connection.. WTF

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

I cant even get to d/l it keeps saying you have reached you download limit even though i have not D/L anything

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

I beleive on the free accounts that the limit is used up really fast. If I remember there is only a certain amout of space provided to a certain country per day (might be megaupload actually) - Also is a tactic to try and force you to upgrade to a premuim account.

I have a premium anyway and usually get around 950k-1.08mb but lately I have been only getting around 450k. Also depends on the amount of people using the certain servers at certain points if you get what I mean.

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

Thats most likely down to other people on the same proxy server downloading stuff and hitting the limit. Try manually changing your proxy server.

I dont use a proxy m8

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

VM puts u on proxy automatically. There is nothing u can do about it...

Just buy urself a premium account and ur problems will stop...

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

Ok ta m8

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

As far as I'm aware the proxy servers have been turned off for most, if not all VM customers.

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

I've had periods where i can't access rapidshare at all.

And i'm on bt broadband, i suspect it might be rapidshare themselves or a router somewhere on the internet.


Its ok at the moment but i had trouble getting on it at the weekend.

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

Didnt know that. When did it happen?

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

March/April time if I remember correctly.

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

Did you post this from the same machine you use rapidshare on? If so, the forum software detected that this was posted through a proxy.

Re: Anyone having problems with Rapidshare?
 

a bit of a strange off shoot but why don't you set up a newsgroup and you and your colleagues can post solely to that, that way no download limits and easy access to everyone who needs them plus if they are passworded the public can get into them

just a thought but virgin media does offer access to newsgroups albeit not great access but it works
