OR
i downloaded something and must wait xxx mintes
OR if i do get to the point to enter the image code it is never correct ... wtf!??
 
Rapidshare is a POS in my opinion. You could get the same thing elsewhere with less hassles.
 
Rapidshare is only worth the effort if you have a premium account.
 
+1 for rapidshare is bullcrap. Dont even bother with it, try getting what you want from somewhere else. Theres a thread in one of the ADSL discussion sections on rapidshare, take a look.
 
Or, if it works everytime... mine does on iBurst but friends often have that problem on ADSL, it sees the same IP for thousands of ADSL users and then your slot is usually taken.

What do you use?

I find so much stuff on the web hosted on Rapidshare, plus theres 0 intentional upload and full speeds, beats P2P senseless for me..

Other hosting sites have similar problems, the best ones are usually small and nothing is ever hosted on them, its a shame...
 
You only have to wait between files if you don't have a account. Buy an account and everything will work fine
 
Luckily we don't have fixed IP's, just reset your connection and you cna download again straight away... so a premium account would be wasted on me. It's just that no resume and 1 thread thing that's irritating.
 
got ADSL and yes like other posters mentioned, everyones hosts their files on rapidshare ... what to do!? .... is there anyway around the IP check apart from buying a premium account ...
 
I hate rapidshare. I really can't understand why a lot of guys upload to it Zshare is soo much better.
 
You can get a premium account for free, there are a lot of sites with hacked accounts, you've just got to try and find one that works.

Or share 1 account between a group of people, works out very cheap that way.

btw, the best is Depositfile :D No limits on how many files you download at once, and multi-threaded!
 
It's our internet more than them.

My iBurst works fine every time for Rapidshare, because in JHB you guys have this proxy which caches content to make it faster, but also makes it look like you all come from the same IP, meaning if 1 person in JHB is downloading from Rapidshare, no one else can. At least that's how I understand it, but mine works fine :D So much better than using P2P's.
 
Damn.I dont have paypal. Anyone willing to buy me an account and ill deposit the money in their bank account? preferably someone who's been on this forum for a long time.
 
Is there something you need to download?
I might be able to help...
