    the service is gone haywire. rapishit introduced a happy hour new icons that make so difficult to see codes other long codes.
    Now they trying to disable scripts.
    Anyway, that shows what a little power can do on internet. RS says to users Jump!. Users respond...How high!

    I get 450Kb/s regardless of my connection speed and have done for the last year. The only problem I have with RS is that I can't always access it.

    Top download speed anywhere between 140kb/s to 160kb/s all depends on how far you are from the adsl node.

    You both must be joking, dudes !

    I have an official 128kbs speed (official !) limitless, which costs me almost 90 euros per month (bloody place where I'm right now for work); I'm forced to use a dwl manager (getright, imagien if I have to dwl one file at a time !!!!) and I have NEVER downloaded anything faster than 20 kbs and for few seconds !!!

    May I ask whether it's also because of getright that my dwl speed is bloody slow, not getting even close to 128 ?

    Thanks and please don't complain for your light-speed connection...

    By the sounds of it your on a 128kb/s which means BITS per second not BYTES so 20k downloads speeds is about normal. I'm on a 10mbit line which means its a 10,000kb/s connection which means my max download speed is around 1mb per second.

    Actual/real-time download speed of any net is = 1/10th of the plan speed (or surfing/connection speed) & the most maximum it could go is 1/8th of the plan/connection speed.

    Eg: 10mbps means actual/real-time would be 1mbps [1/10th of 10]
    256kbps means actual/real-time would be around 25kbps [1/10th of 256]

    & maximum real-time speed which can be reached is 1/8th speed of the connection or plan.

    Anybody agrees ?

    It means basically (I have no doubt that you MUST be right) that my only hope to leave this place where I'm working at the moment and come back to old-lovely-Europe....

    It seems that from now on Rapidshare have decided to limit the download speed to 500kbps (=50KB/s) for free users... :(

    (Sorry for the bump but I thought it was an appropriate topic to post this).

    it amazes me that this hasn't come up earlier in a forum that works almost entirely with rapidshare. Rapidshare is more or less useless now.
