i am using a premium account, and my dl speeds seem to vary quite a bit. sometimes i will be downloading 4 things at once, and i will be getting around 150-200 kbs on each one. right now i am downloading 4 and only getting half of that speed. does the country where the person uploaded it have anything to do with it? enlighten me

Do 2 at a time, it goes faster


no, this is not a myth, it is actually the case with rapidshare. I would recommend download Internet Download Manager and queue them up.

Should be much faster than that, even free users get more than 400k (I think it's capped at 500k for free users), and you're on 16Meg, I'm on 8Meg you should get waaaaaay more than me.

Oh and as Jens says IDM does help, I don't use it though.


EDIT: Link the file you're getting, I'll try it and let you know what speed I get.

Could be your ISP too. I get (nearer makes no difference) 1MB/s in the morning time and I'm lucky to reach 100kB/s in the evening time. But yes, try a client like Internet Download Manager

Also depends on the server you pick. For me the Level(3) #2 server always gave me 600 kBps.

Using the rapidshare manager I get 1-1.4Mb/s with 5 links open. I have managed to hit 2.4Mb/s with 27 links open in firefox.

Have you tried the XP zune theme?
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Internet Download Manager. Seriously. This program is the best program since virtual sliced bread beta 4. Once you've linked it all up to your browser and a premium account, it makes shit so much more easier.

I was getting 300-400KB/s without it, and that was during certain hours. Now with IDM I ALWAYS get 700/800 KB/s when downloading from RS. This program is the shit!

Plus you can just highlight all the RS links and import them into the program and it'll do it all for you in a queue and shit.

RS Premium account + IDM + those awsome websites = Win
