Re: slow download to rapidshare.com
Most of the rapidshare servers are in Germany, and are on an extremely saturated link. With a 15mbps(1.8MB/sec) time warner plan, using Rapidshare manager(and 5 connections), I still only average 80-120KB/sec per download on the fastest rapidshare servers I've found. If you have Random Server selection enabled at rapidshare, theres a good chance you'll download from one of their smaller providers, and only get 20-30KB/sec. Go into settings for your account, and make sure you select, Level3, Cogent, or Globalcrossing, under Server-systems, to be used all the time. |

I'm in the process of switching from AT&T 6/512 DSL to Suddenlink's 8/512 cable. I have both services right now (comparing before I switch). I am getting 55kb downloading that rapidshare file on both services. |

Who are these anon posters in this discussion? I would LOVE to talk to a couple of them. SL disconnecting you from AOL because of usage? And blaming Suddenlink for not being able to get to some torrent sites, but able to actually download torrents at great speeds? WTF are you smoking? |

Sometimes the problem is with rapidshare.com
I'm a premium member and half the time my download speeds are at around 200KB/s no matter which download server i choose, when i'm actually capable of 700KB/s. When using free downloads on other download sites like rapidshare.de, badongo, megaupload i reach top speeds. I feel i've wasted money joining. I wish people would abandon rapidshare.com |

i have comcast highspeed internet (would be like suddenlink only its the cable company in my area) they offer me a 6mbps line with a speed boost at up to 12mbps for the first 10MB of each file, and ive been getting download lower than when i had DSL from AT@T (at a 1.5mbps line) so it's likly to be somthing on rapidshares end. |

why me
@comcast.net | I've got crapcast in Chicago and have noticed really slow d/ls for the past 2 weeks using Rapidshare. I consistantly get an average of 4 Mbps when I do a speed test. Somebody is yanking our chains. |

I find that at certain times of day (evening or wee hours) it's extremely fast, up to 1.5MB/s from Globalcrossing, then crawls down to 30KB/s during the daytime...A year ago was ~500KB/s all the time. |

In Dallas here and with AT&T DSL 3mbps down/768 up. I have been having problems with Rapidshare.com also in the last couple of weeks. Used to max out on speeds (which right now is 300kb/s). Now I am lucky if it goes above 50kb/s or 100kb/s and not slower. Anyone found out any issues on this thing yet?

I'm getting 80-140 kbps from rapidshare on the free download thing. looks like when it goes overseas my pings are higher, but thats expected. I don't see how it can be suddenlink when everything on SL's network is low ping and when it leaves it gets higher. Does rapidshare cap the free accounts?

I don't know if it's suddenlink or just distance.(i really don't know much about latency-pings-etc) But I just had suddenlink installed last week (09/12/08) and I have some files on a few sites I use and my DL speed was SPECTACULAR! I have the 8/512 plan. I downloaded a movie from my Adrive file site at 1200-1400Kbs-Dang fast compared to what I used to have.And now I lucky to be able to DL anything..I mean ANYTHING! Rapidshare-Adrive-File Factory-Stagevu. The best I average is 7-14Kbs at ANY givin time.Don't matter if it's 12AM-6A3PM-Any day of the week! I don't know if there cutting my speed or what but I expected something faster than the DSL I had In the "woods" where my DL speed was about 88-150 depending on the time and day. Something isn't right! |
