Another rapidshare rant

So, the limit is now 2.66gb or something a day. A week ago i was converting my rapidshare points into usage. For 150 points you got 5gb. I have just converted some points i have left and for 150 i got about 400mb.

What the hell is going on with this company?

Right? I didn't say it was hard to find it. Thanks for being a sarcastic ponce though.

sorry chief, was just pointing out the obvious. 'rapidshare search'

Don't see why people use it as a d/l service either. From what I see it's split into small parts and all of them are separate links. At least with usenet you have indexing sites and simple NZB files.

Just select all the files, right click and download. then right click one and extract. Either that or 'download all links' (and check the ones you want)

Fair enough. I may check it out one day, but I guess I'm just set in my ways. One click, check back, done.

This does just that, or right click download everything. Or download a whole website for offline browsing

damn those download speeds are fast. orange would have a baby if i downloaded 150gb a day! last year when rapidshare was normal my dad got a letter about downloading too much. (no not 10gb of porn a day)

5mb a second??? Im happy with 250kb. surely even with an annual rapidshare account you hit a limit if your downloading for a few hours on that speed? (If theres no limit on rapidshare your hard drive will run out anyway!) yep, if im right then 5 hours downloading = 90gb

Well if you have a faster connection than me, obviously you're going to have a faster download speed.
