No more captchas - higher flexibility for premium-users

July 02, 2008
By eliminating the captchas we simplified the use of RapidShare's free services significantly. In addition, free-users can now upload and download bigger files (up to 200 megabyte). Anyhow, to protect RapidShare from congestion caused by automated downloading, we limited the maximum download speed for free‐users to 500 kilobit per second. To compensate for that, they do not have to wait anymore until starting a succeeding download.



Premium-users now profit from more flexibility regarding the download volume: It used to be limited to 10 gigabyte per day and can be "saved" now to a maximum of 50 Gigabyte. As a consequence, the volume that was not used is transferred to the following day automatically, up to a maximum of 50 gigabyte. If the complete download capacity is used up during one day, the premium-user is able to save another 10 gigabyte the following day.

I don't see how you came to that conclusion; it sounds pretty good to me. free users don't have to wait anymore for the succeeding download, premium user have more download volume, etc.., what more do you want - a free pizza too? it's getting better n' better

seems more like the end of other f'ng file hosts to me, unless they start to follow suit... as always

rapidshare can suck my cock

Posted by tamnun on 04.07.2008 // 13:38 [ Link ]

pay for the service and get full advantage. All the others are not better anyway, some always tell you "all free lots full". I started paying Rapidshare two years ago and never complained since. If you chose to use the free service, it's your choice. Just think about this : if you are a heavey downloader - how much do you spend daily for other stupid servuces such as mibile phone, compared to the thousands of dollars you download monthly from Rapid ?

It's great news for leechers with the FREE system, no waiting at the cat and dog pounds, and 200mb single file downloads! :D

It's slightly ~better~ news for Premium users!

It's bad news and suX for all the other file hosters, but many of them sukk anyway and are full of popware, waitware, and NOware!

It's good for Big Bro RS too, let's hope they don't @$$faQQ the warez scene one day in the future ;)

It's no difference for those that hate RS!

Did I miss one? lol

thanks for the info gigiduru!

tamnun,

I would like to bitch about it too, but what you said makes sence :)

I'm just going to get an account.

Guess I have no right to complain as a free user & heavy downloader :(

Posted by robinvn on 04.07.2008 // 14:22 [ Link ]

Amazing! You all get your software and movies and music etc for free, yet you bitch about having to pay Rapidshare! How much have you saved downloading stuff?

I have an account and don't regret it.

"rapidshare can suck my cock"

I used to feel the same way at the beginning of my leeching warez surfing addiction. I hated it. then one day I decided to pay for a premium and haven't looked back ever since. :/

Hey guys, is this a standard procedure every day if I buy an account and a blindfold?

Sign me up! :D

Look - you get what you pay for - if it's free - you can't complain. I've purchased an monthly account a few times, and used it well, and I've enjoyed not having to wait etc. I can't afford to purchase all the time, but I appreciate the unlimited service when I can afford it. RS has more quality and longer lasting posts than any other file site I've used and I say it's worth supporting. Cheers.

One really good thing about having an RS account is that you can use it as an "Off-Site Backup" facility for those really important files which you can't afford to use.

However, apart from what I just said, I am now wondering why I am paying for an account now if I can download without time restrictions as a free user. I think RS may have shot themselves in the foot.

Come on RS, give the paying user some extra value for money or we may become free users when our accounts expire.

Conclusion !?

good...................maybe for rs premium owners, becos all rs premium points its made by free users(and now premium user made points but only 255 per day)!!!

500kb speed download.........................hei............ this is bull...too slow!!!

Can Anyone tell me how can i bypass Rapidshare from my winproxy

&

There is any alternate way to access Rapidshare http.....

Posted by Johnf on 05.07.2008 // 13:39 [ Link ]

I've had a Premium account for 2 years and don't regret it. the savings of a single warez download can pay for th annual subscription alone. The rest is a bonus!

Boy o Boy the speeds on the revapped Radidshare super suck. I have had as low as 16k (3 HRS TO DOWNLOAD 1 file out of 7)and the best has been 60k when before revappe it was 140k was norm. I am moving to megashare.

Posted by trollwatcher on 07.07.2008 // 11:12 [ Link ]

Hey members, I have been toggling between using RS FREE and using an account, and I don't feel any difference in the speed dept.

My max (poverty) speed is 52kps in Flashget, so what is the REAL maximum download and upload speeds available from RS now? better, worse, same?

Posted by gigisoftu on 07.07.2008 // 12:55 [ Link ]

DO not be selfish "Tha_Smiler"! they can do that to mine too ...

Posted by gigisoftu on 07.07.2008 // 13:25 [ Link ]

Just tryed to get [ link ] it's downloading @ 56KB from THE RapidShare sick Idiots

Posted by trollwatcher on 07.07.2008 // 15:08 [ Link ]

Why stress it guys? if RS dies in the ass, just go back to old sKooL warez, including splitting files across different file hosts so no waiting and no speed bs. Rar part#1 on RS, Rar part#2 on Mega, Rar part#3 on BiGMoMMaShareZ etc

That system rocked good enough, till everyone became RS junkiez ;)

==============

@ Tha_Smiler and gigisoftu, we are going to share that undocumented extra RS 'service', and we all promise and swear not abuse it too much, right? :D

suresh can suck my cock

Posted by Naruto8989 on 26.07.2008 // 21:45 [ Link ]

yes suck hes cock and mine pitch

Posted by Maxwell288 on 27.07.2008 // 19:28 [ Link ]

you mean bitch ? isn't suresh the name of that indian guy in HEROES? mofo

BTW download speed at my local library is about 4.5 Mbps. I usually download two files together each going at about 1.5/2.0 Mbps. the most download speed I got from a single file was 4.5 Mbps. I can download (manually: cannot install new software in them PCs = no dowload managers) about 5Gb of data in an hour. can't complain. however, at other libraries download speed was much slower ranging about 150Kbps to 500Kbps.

if you're on broadband but still getting slow speed I suggest to send RS an email with yous IP, connection, location... they may do something about it, they seem to have good customer service. (read: "customers")

good bye
