RapidShare is now limiting the download speed of free users to 30kb per second. I noticed this today while attempting to download a 133MB file (ETA 1hr 20min) from there... I thought my DSL connection was acting up, or down for service. However, a quick Google search told me I was not alone. Yet another good reason to use MediaFire or FileServe. "Rapid" Share? Hardly.

Proof that it's not just me:
