I got the same problem, I bought 100GB Traffic share and never had this problem again.
I notice if I get 2 files at the same time from RS, one of em is at like 450kb/sec when the other one goes up and down like a yoyo and sometimes stays at like 5kb/sec, should be at 450kb/sec too as my internet is up to 1.3mb/sec

Paying for both sucks.
I was also pretty hacked off about them changing the limit, and demanding yet more cash, so I complained.
This is what I got back....
As I said, I just paid the 10 euros for more TrafficShare, and haven't had any problems since then. Very irritating though.

again, what?
/rs/ f.t.w. - im guessing *** is for the win. no idea what 4chan or /rs/ is
give up now, this is for L337 peeps only
Because it being an HTTP download from dedicated servers means that the speed is maxing out your internet connection 95% of the time - far better than torrents, with varying speeds and a lack of seeds.
Indeed I download 2 files at a time at 1MB/sec each and rip through a full download in just a few minutes.
A few quid for a few months of usage is very good IMO. Rather a few quid to have content instantly instead of having to wait for seeders as well as the added risk of having my information tracked by connected peers and not having to upload to keep a decent ratio etc.

I use torrents too. Some things have high peer/ssed base so download very quick but for anything else I dislike seeing my 20MB not being used to its best ability ;p
And anyway, it's only a few quid every few months...hardly a bank breaker.

I have a rapidshare account. Ive never had this problem I have to say.
As mentioned its not exactly a bank breaker for the account. I've had mine for ages. Very happy with it.
Note: To me it isn't a bank breaker.... To others it may be, if it is then you need to earn more money

I guess the difference is what exactly you're downloading and how fast you consume said content.
I've never found torrents to be too slow really, only obscure ones, but then you'd have the same problems finding the content on the those sites... Even using torrents on an 8mb connection I still download stuff faster than I use it, so why would I need it any faster?

Yeah, a lot less hassle and a wider variety of content, some of which is available a lot sooner.
Giganews is currently $25 for unlimited. The weak pound isn't helping.
