      Rapidshare says it's rapidshare happy hour (i.e. no download limits), just thought I'd let all those who like to pillage and loot know!

      Edit: Oops, wrong forum sorry :/
      Double edit: Never mind, it's gone now anyway....

      It's when Rapidshare doesn't have a download limit for free users for an hour.

      Normally the free users can only download one file (of up to 100MB) per hour.

      On Happy Hour, you can download as much as you want for that hour.

      Ah so i doesn't affect me whatsoever as a premium user. It would be nice if anything you downloaded as a premium user didn't contribute to your download limit (25GBs in 5 days) as I'm pretty close to that at the moment.

      Consistant speeds unlike torrents, I'd gladly pay €50 a year for that.

      I bought a rapidshare account just over a year ago.With the amount I download and the awesome download speeds,it was definitely worth buying it.I would recommend it to anyone who is a heavy downloader

      being only able to download 25 gb in 5 days is bull ive donloaded torrents that are over 50 gb so on rappidshare it would take 2 weeks and not get any other downloads

      Rapidshare is brilliant, and using the forums to get links through is a great way of seeing what kind of files you're downloading before you choose which batch to get.

      Definitely worth the 50squid a year imo. In fact I don't get why people go through the hassle of waiting for happy hours or trying to get ppl to download their files when a full year of downloading is so cheap:confused:

      I agree.I use a particular forum with 500,000+ members for links.The links are usually up within a few hours of something airing on tv.I've never really had a problem finding anything

      little secret for you. after you download one part if you want to download more unplug the broadband connection from the wall plug it back in and your good to go. it also works on megaupload

      That only works on short lease dhcp setups.

      considering it works over http, it works quite well, very hard for sysadmins to block as well.

      i'm able to pull down about 5 mega bytes a second in college.

      If they decide to block rapidshare ips, you could be shagged.

      :D:D:D

      It's worth a shot but don't be too surprised if they shut it down. All depends on the levels of usage imo.

      Ive been using my rapidshare account in college for the last year at least and ive never had any problems with it.The dl speeds are superfast!!!
      Before I got a premium account I used an application to reset the time between downloads.The annoying thing is that you have to disconnect and open the application in between downloads in order to keep downloading.
