Hey guys,
have any of you ever experienced problems downloading from rapidshare?
I choose a link to download => choose "free" from rapidshare, wait about 1.5mins for the download to start ,but then when the download is supposed to start I just get an error saying that the link is only available for a few minutes, and it redirects me to waiting another 1.5 minutes...?:mad:
 
i've had that before. Or I get invalid session. Sometimes I have to try 2 or 3 times and eventually it goes through.
 
Well, if you tried using RapidShare in the last 2 hours you would have been dissapointed as the link between Rosebank and Hong Kong (for all major international traffic) has been down.

It should be up now, so see if that was the problem in the first place?
 
Good Luck, I've never been able to download from RapidShare...
 
I Have premium accounts on rapidshare and megaupload. why not just pay for one aswell? they have specials now. U never hav to wait and u get full speed downloads. For under a R100 pm. With megaupload its R88 for 2 months

Would gladly have done so if I had an uncapped account, but R100/m and +-R40 p/GB would leave me bankrupt!!!:D

The reason I was asking, is because I went to www.th3zone.com ,
there's a forum you can subscribe to , and on that forum you find links to the latest movies, episodes and music , but everything's hosted on rapidshare...
Would've been nice to be able to share some NEW stuff on Greenlab:D :D
 
I don't know why people use Rapidshare. It has never worked for me ever. It seems to be one of those sites that snares someone by offering a 'free' download. The download doesn't work, then the option is given to buy an account. A typical scam.

I just wish people wouldn't offer anything to download using Rapidshare. Are they doing it because they get a fee in return??
 
I must disagree - a subscription to Rapidshare has been the best money I have ever spent on the net. R170.00 for three months instant, reliable and resumable downloads.

What a bargain.
 
Dude it was R 50 bucks for a one month subscription. Completely worth it for me.

How is it a scam?
People get good service that they pay for.
Scam????
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
Only reason it doesn't work for us is the transparent proxies imposed on us by SAIX and IS. I'm not saying the burden should be on Rapidshare, but if they let us use a port other than 80 we would be able to use it as well.

So it isn't free, despite saying it is. That raises a red flag for me.

Is this a credit card payment?
 
You have to subscribe to paypal first then u pay for account thru there. RAPIDSHARE IS GREAT just pay that small fee. same goes for MEGAUPLOAD AND MEGASHARE. if u wanna get latest programs and stuff u gonna have to get one of these since everyone that uploads stuff upload to these three sites.

And the reason they do it is because everytime someone downloads something or the user uploads something they earn points. and if u get enough points u get rewards. like me i now can get a free month on rapidshare and megaupload. But hectic uploaders get so many points that they earn cash back. So These sites are here to stay:p
 
Reaper21 is absolutely correct. It honestly is a small fee, R150 for 6 months!? Seems extremely cheap for the amount that I actually pull off Rapidshare.com.

Hi, can I just correct you there, Reaper21 mentioned megashare - Its Megashares.com :D

and the 6month rapidshare account is currently 29.99 euros, or about 300zar.

Just wanted to clear that typos for you.
Rapidshare rocks! yea
