Do you guys use it for anything legal? Everyone I know only ever uses rapidshare to get dodgy software and copies of the latest movie releases.

I don't have an account, no point on my broadband but does anyone use it legitimately?

I download live music sets from http://www.livesets-online.com

These are legal

Ain't working here. Guest2, you're in Headingley too aren't you or have I got the wrong bloke?

Yep. Somethings up with the net, speeds keep going up and down. Think they are doing something with the line

Same, however my neighbour just tried using his o2 and its fine

Im sure Sky blocks rapidshare sometimes. I rang them about it and they said they block no sites though. :confused:

https://ssl.rapidshare.com/ works fine.

Downloads dont work however as they come from

http://rapidshare.com/files/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Is it something to do with Sky DNS problems?

edit - Looks like i was right. Using these DNS servers work. Downloads now working (and the net is faster than before, as are my downloads)

Primary DNS 208.67.222.222
Secondry DNS 208.67.220.220

edit 2 - nope, doesnt work with those dns server now. Just sticks on 'waiting for www.rapidshare.com...'

edit 3 - working again, not sure for how long though...

Can get to it without DNS now. Sky must have sorted something out

Rapidshare is old. Giganews is 10x faster.

Maxes out my connection. 50Mb internet service

Never really had any problems with RS speeds. On a 20mb connection with wireless it maxes out at 1.4mbps. When i connect a cable its downloads at about 2.2mbps. (20mb connection synced at 18mb)
