Slow Rapidshare

Is Rapidshare slower for anyone then it was say 2-3 months ago? Im not talking about free accounts. On average I would say speed dropped at least 50% for me, while hotfile and torrents are maxing out my connection.
Answer #1
I haven’t download anything in RS for a while now but i don’t remember having problems with it.
Answer #2
I don’t believe there has been any difference in speed I also use Premium
Answer #3
It shouldnt have a problem o.O
Answer #4
I still max out with RS.
Answer #5
I have a issue with slow downloading i am a premium account holder (joined 2 days ago) and am olny downloading on average 75kb a second it takes on average over 1 hour 2 download a single tv episode, my neighbour is also a premium account holder and can download the same episode in 6 minuites, we are both running at 8meg speed but with different providers, but am not sure this would make a difference
Answer #6
What download manager are you using?
Answer #7
i max out with comcast, really slow with att high speed. not sure if there is any obfuscation in place…rapidshare are just http downloads….
Answer #8
It’s not RS cuz if it is, everyone would have got the issue. I think you should contact your ISP about it
Answer #9
how will that call go?
Answer #10
I doubt the problem is with the ISP if you are able to get max speed from other download services.
If your neighbour is always getting a much higher speed than yourself, it’s not to do with your location either.
It guess it won’t do any harm to contact RS support about the problem.
Answer #11
i get 500+ on torrents, 100 and down on RS
thats KB/s
Answer #12
I only access RS as a free user and frequently get 300+
Is there a possibility that you are trying to download at the same time as some of you bandwidth is being used for some other purpose?
Software update, online game, whatever ?
Answer #13
You can also try this.
Try setting Closest Download Server Systems in your RS account. That way you will be able to get your files from a Closest Mirror available to you allowing you Max your thing.
Download speeds depends on various factors not just an individual factor (like latency,location etc)
Answer #14
hier is ok
downloading with 8MB/sec
Answer #15
my download manager is z, sorry if this is incorrect, i have no other programmes running or nothing updating, the other curious thing my neighbour said is that my green status bar is more or less a flatline while hers peeks and troughs
