I can't seem to connect to rapidshare.com sometimes and if I ever manage to actually get to it my downloads don't go anywhere near full speed. I'm lucky if I get 60kb/s. It used to go 240kb/s. :confused: What's going on?

if you having trouble downloading from rapidshare its probably because your isp is bt
and there is problem with bt servers accessing rapidshare downloads, but there is a way
round it first try this paste the link you want to download in your browser for example

http://rapidshare.com/files//7897mydemofile

now change the first bit so it looks like this

https://www.rapidshare.com/files//7897mydemofile

now it should work if your still having problems try removing the s from the http bit

What is going on at Rapidshare.
50% of the time when trying to download with my Premium account it just hangs untill I get a time out, 30% of the time I get an error message "Network Error! It only seems to work this last month or so for about 20% of the time.
When It works it's really good. Whats my problem????:banghead:

I have a work around if anybody is interested.


This work around only applies if you have the link to the file your are trying to get, for example the http:// code.

All rapidshare links look like this: http://rapidshare.com/files/????/?????

What you simply do if you are having connection issues like I do, Rapidshare always comes up with "Internal Server Error 500" for me or it times out so what I do is this,

You simply type the first part of the code like this: http://rs240.rapidshare.com/files/

after /files/ you put the rest of your code to your file usually numbers forward slash then another series of numbers or letters or a combination thereof.

This is simply a direct way of getting to the file you want without going through the website and clicking free user or premium user. This work around has been working for me and I hope it helps you.
