Rapidshare Premium Download Problem

**phy54** · December 5th, 2007, 10:35 AM

I am having challenges with downloading from Rapidshare. I've been a premium member ever since Rapidshare.com came out and haven't had issues downloading before. It seems like my download speed is being capped at around 100kb/s where normally it's about 500kb/s.

I performed a speedtest.com and it was 923kb. Any ideas on what's going on?

I do use a download manager (orbit) and it's set on no speed limit. I didn't change any settings and even if i don't use a download manager, I still get a cap at around 65kb/s.

Is this just a temporary Rapidshare problem or something else?

Why not to use this service - http://filentity.com ?
I use it and have no such problems ;)

I'm a premium member for a month now and half the time my download speeds are at around 200KB/s no matter which download server i choose, when i'm actually capable of 700KB/s. When using free downloads on other download sites like rapidshare.de, badongo, megaupload i reach top speeds. I feel i've wasted money joining. I wish people would abandon rapidshare.com

Is it possible that the ISP is throttling your connection? I think onne way to tell is to change ports, but not sure on that (or how you would go about doing that with a web browser).
