I do concur, RapidShare is pretty poor. When Wet Hair Lover from "The Other Forum" posted a clip he used http://www.megaupload.com/ which was decent enough to realise that I was behind a Web proxy. With RapidShare, I have to wait for ages to get a download because they see my ntl Web proxy IP as being mine. When I finally go to download it, they detect that I'm proxied and then refuse to let me transfer anything. Bloody waste of time.
I can tell MegaUpload that I'm proxied, and they detect my real IP (presumably through using a different port number) and let me download just fine.
RapidShare is another example of the thoughtlessly-poor standards in IT these days (probably written by an underpaid and clueless PFY), and it's quite possible to write such a service that does work properly. MegaUpload appears to be one, and there may be others.
I am quite understanding about the idea that bandwidth is not free and such sites will chew through it at an alarming rate. I am just not understanding about crappy, half-assed systems that could be done a lot better. (Especially the ones where you do have to pay through the nose for them, like Adobe Illustrator or MS Office ;) |

By Jay - Fri 20/10/06 11:17:31 GMT Hi Everyone.
I keep going to rapidshare through peoples links but whenever I get there and click on the free button it says on the next page...
You have reached the download-limit for free-users. Want to download more? Get your own Premium-account now! Instant download-access! (Or wait 68 minutes)
I havnt downloaded anything off them in about 6 weeks?
Is everyone here just waiting the 60 odd minutes to download anything or am I missing something?
Thanks
