deepak Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I have about 5 GB I want to download off Rapidshare. All broken up into 100 mb file sizes. Given the 50 kb/s restriction and only one download at a time with the free account this is going to take ages. Does anyone know the current download limit for the premium account? June 26 their FAQ said 10 GB per day, but I want to make sure that's right since a download limit isn't even mentioned on their comparison page (comparing free and premium perks). Just want to be sure before I get the three day trial, hope my CC doesn't charge me extra for USD -> EU conversion \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Download limit? I don't think there's any such thing, I exceed that all that time. Now if that's referring to the amount that others can download from your account I'm not sure, I've never allowed much access to the content I've uploaded. Are you just uploading this for short term sharing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en480c4 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Are you just uploading this for short term sharing? I think he wants to DL stuff already hosted. Download limit? I don't think there's any such thing There is... You can only download so much with a Premium account before they'll bump you to the next day. My account says 10 GB... So that seems to make sense. I got bumped once a ways back when it was more like 2 GB but it hasn't been an issue since they increased it. And as an unrelated note, I see they increased their upload size to 200 MB! Kick ass!

n_maher Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Ahh got it. I've never been bumped like Ian and I would have thought there would have been days where I was over 10GB, but maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) If this is a one-time thing, might I recommend a VMWare appliance? EDIT: According to this page:A premium account enables you to download 5 Gigabyte per day. Edited August 1, 2008 by Dusty Chalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostonetr Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I think rapidshare tracks via IP (and maybe cookies). I remember reading about firefox users who d/led some add-ons for proxies, and fed rapidshare the proxy IP. Thereby getting by the limiter. Don't know if this method works still.
