 Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 10:16 am Post subject: Rapidshare Happy Hours are Back! |
 |
|
This is from their website:
| Quote: | | As every free user should have noticed, we are experimenting once again with the CAPTCHA system. The reason is that RapidShare is popular enough for people to create tools to download from RapidShare as a free user as if they were a premium user. This has a negative impact for our paying premium users, since they expect a fast download. On the other hand we are also experimenting with happy hours again. When our servers have enough spare bandwidth, we will make it easier for free users to download from RapidShare, knowing that this also makes it possible again to automatically download files with those tools. Right now the RapidShare Happy Hours will disable the download tickets and the captchas completely. |

Is it just me, or starting a couple of days ago Rapidshare also decreased the downloading speed for free users?
I for one could have downloaded with a speed around 300.. and now only around 40~50 no matter what time of day it is, no matter the server..

Yeah, read the news.
| Code: | | http://rapidshare.com/news.html |
| Quote: | | 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. |

I have a premium account but if I would have to choose between waiting times and slow downloading I would defintaly go for the slow downloading.
Same with my net connection, I'm practicly the only one around on my region who has unlimited bandwidth BUT a slowER connection (still 400KB/sec+).

1 year ago i did purchased a premium account from that day, i downloaded a lot of things, it was worth it, now im a free user and i dont complaint that much, but i did hate those capcha letters or animal letters, downloading with 40kbs or 50 is not bad, others webhosters are more terrible, i cant wait more than 1 hour downloading a 100mb file i truly cancel the file.
