Virgin and rapid share

[deed02392]

I'm getting 2.4MB/s with single file split to 16 pieces with IDM. Best download manager btw, it may not be free, but hey that's what Rapidshare is for, amirite >

Rapidshare premium or not, is only as good as the load on its servers, and I beleive they are very high.

what i am trying to say is an account with rapidshare will always allow you to upload or download... but you will still share the bandwidth with everyone else on the rapidshare system

Early hrs of the morning are best time to download from Rapidshare 1 - 6 am

Been using rapidshare for over a year now and I've never experianced any slow speeds from them :S

Have you seen the spec of Rapidshares server farm? Premium users get uncapped download rates, I get max download speed _all_ the time from them. Downloading as a free user, not a KB/s above 50. Bearing in mind I've got the 20Mbps package. As far as I'm concerned, the weaker link in the chain would be us, not rapidshare at all.

deed i agree as i stated in previous posts, i have a premium account and dont get over 500k usually with Rapidshare yet if i use my account on my friends AOL account i get the max his upto 8mb account gets and usually around 700k downloads.

Yep, so looks like it is some problem with your cable connection, not Rapidshare as stated by Millay.

P.S. Rapidshare are meant to have been cracking down on sharing accounts. Have you had any bad luck or do you not often use your account on different IP addresses?

i normally use downthemall which is an add on to firefox and that usually gives me my full speed on 99% of websites.

[deed02392]

Yeah I used to use that. I've since discovered IDM, which is far superior

Flashget hasn't helped me that much. I download some files without problems but suddenly some of them will simply stuck at a certain % and they won't move on. Sometimes they do but i cant find the pattern. Anyone experience the same problem? does flashget need special settings for rapidshare?
For example right now rapidshare.com is completely dead for me. I wonder if they block me because flashget makes many simultaneous connection on them

You can also use RS own program http://rapidshare.com/rsm.html

If you are a premium user, they won't block you. To solve your flashget problems though, what you have to do is uninstall it, then install a program called IDM. Those are the ideal settings.

Zshare, Filefactory and Uploaded.to are better than Crapidsare in my opinion.

I have RS premium account and i get on average 85k upload and 2300 d/l
(using d/l manager multiple files)

the rs manager prog is good too..

i have only ever tried it on my mates connection once to see if it was a problem with Virgin or Rapidshare. I dont share my account.
