Rapidshare unbelievably slow

[franklynxxx]

Even with my poxy 1Mb connection, rapid share appears poo - but saying that, sexuploader
(or MegaRotic as it's now called) is even worse! A 270 MB vid used to be relatively quick,
now it lingers for hours sometimes, dropping to 20KB/sec

For me its more like 10kb/sec. Really irritating...

That is very surprising. It almost seems as if your loss is my gain.
T'was the day before Chrismas or before that on the 23 rd, I don't
exactly recall now, early morning around 8:30 A.M., download speed
here in the eastern U.S. from Megarotic , peaked at 950 KB per second
that's 7.6 megabits.
I got some 80 MB files , each in under a minute and a half !
When its this good and setup for multiple simulataneous downloads
you can get very spoiled. Normal bandwith just doesn't measure up.

I urge you to investigate your connection settings as I suggested here _

My immediate advice is to immediately drop the download if it appears
overly slow. You will have to wait a bit before you are allowed to
reconnect for another attempt but this is only ten minutes at most ,
and you won't get locked into a poorly routed connection.
