Re: slow download to rapidshare.com

Looks like to me that the latency is really high to those sites. Your latency doubles once you hit paris1.level3.net and stays around the same from there. I suspect those servers are overloaded.

Same thing has happened to me... Your tracerp is exactly like mine was. Suddenlink says they have no cap, rapidshare says they are not the problem. When I called Suddenlink the first person said they have been getting this asked a lot lately regarding rapidshare.

I am lucky to get 10kb/s on a rapidshare dl (have been a premium member for over a year - this just started a week or so ago). Anywhere else I get 600kb/s and up.

Sorry I can't help but just wanted you to know there are other passengers in the boat.

The latency doubles because that is a long hop from Washington DC to Paris, France. Rule of thumb on latency is 10ms per 1000 miles one way. Tracert reports round trip latency numbers.
