No more captchas - higher flexibility for premium-users

July 02, 2008
By eliminating the captchas we simplified the use of RapidShare's free services significantly. In addition, free-users can now upload and download bigger files (up to 200 megabyte). Anyhow, to protect RapidShare from congestion caused by automated downloading, we limited the maximum download speed for free‐users to 500 kilobit per second. To compensate for that, they do not have to wait anymore until starting a succeeding download.

Premium-users now profit from more flexibility regarding the download volume: It used to be limited to 10 gigabyte per day and can be "saved" now to a maximum of 50 Gigabyte. As a consequence, the volume that was not used is transferred to the following day automatically, up to a maximum of 50 gigabyte. If the complete download capacity is used up during one day, the premium-user is able to save another 10 gigabyte the following day.

btw does anybody have a rapid download, such as RapGet? I use to use this one, but since rapidshare now revamped their site, it doesnt work...

bought a premium account and using DAP
downloading at 900 Kbps with my shitty DSL in the middle of corn fields

Bought a premium account, was best 6 euros iv ver spent haha, I use rapidsharemanager, copy all the links in and jsut let it download

I installed it today, but it wouldn't work It refuses to download...bah! RapGet was the best though....

I use my premium account with FlashGet and it works like a charm.
