Rapidshare is not throtling speed. I was downloading a anime the other day that was 1.5gb for an ISO of the DVD and it was gonna take 5 hours and the reported speed was 100kb/s NOT your claimed throtling speed of 30kb/s. I gave up not because of the speed but rather because of the total time it would have taken. I'd be better off using a torrent where I can start and stop it at will, because a direct download from RS can't be stopped and restarted.

Rapidshare is spamming out random speeds, and stopping, and starting, and stopping, and starting, and stopping. So you get exactly an average of 30k/s. Whatever download manager you are using isn't showing exactly what's happening, and it's just giving you a optimistic calculation assuming the faster speeds RS is giving will continue. If you let your download finish, it would've taken 15 hours...Quote:

Also, don't make Snesorama related threads, the site is closed. It's not an error, it just doesn't exist.
What the hell is Fileserve doing? I'm just reuploading a game right now, and I milled around a few links on my text backups. As usual Jdownloader checked everything, and it noticed a Fileserve link set was still online. I checked a few other games, and it seems a fair chunk of my links are back online... What the hell, my account is still banned and nuked, and all my links were down before :sweat:
even if you have a premium account, you still have to have a adequate internet access like a cable or broadband. if not, it will be useless.Quote:

If that's the case, which it is, your best bet is to look for a premium link generator (Rapid8.com comes to mind) if you're planning to download files from Rapidshare - however, like some said, you're better off avoiding Rapidshare like the plague!Quote:

Megaupload Seizure Order “Null and Void” Says High Court
In another astonishing development in the Megaupload saga, a judge in New Zealand’s High Court has declared the order used to seize Kim Dotcom’s assets as “null and void”.
The blunder, which occurred because the police applied for the wrong type of court order, means that the Megaupload founder could have his property returned.
Just when it seemed that the handling of the Megaupload case couldn’t get any more controversial, a development from New Zealand has taken things to the next level.
Following the raids on Kim Dotcom’s mansion in January, police seized millions of dollars worth of property belong to the Megaupload founder.
But thanks to a police blunder, he could now see all of those assets returned.
On Friday, Justice Judith Potter in the High Court declared the order used to seize Dotcom’s property “null and void” after it was discovered that the police had acted under a court order that should have never been granted.
The error dates back to January when the police applied for the order granting them permission to seize Dotcom’s property.
Rather than applying for an interim restraining order, the Police Commissioner applied for a foreign restraining order instead, one which did not give Dotcom a chance to mount a defense.
According to New Zealand Herald, on January 30th prosecution lawyer Anne Toohey wrote to the court explaining that the wrong order had been applied for and detailed five errors with the application.
Justice Potter said that police commissioner Peter Marshall tried to correct the error by applying for the correct order after the raids were completed and retrospectively adding the items already seized.
Although the correct order was eventually granted albeit on a temporary basis, Potter said she will soon rule on whether the “procedural error” will result in Dotcom having his property returned.
The Crown is arguing that since the new order was granted the earlier error no longer matters, but Dotcom’s legal team framed it rather differently by describing the seizure of assets as “unlawful”.
Whether the assets are returned will rest on Dotcom’s legal team showing a lack of “good faith” in connection with the blunder.
A hearing to decide if the assets will be returned will take place next week.
