article published on 24 February, 2012
Rapidshare has confirmed it is throttling the download speed "free users" of its service receive in an effort to reduce piracy.
Free users have complained over the past week that their speeds max out at 30 Kbps, far lower than usual, and a useless speed if downloading any file of significant size. Most assumed Rapidshare was cashing in on the demise of Megaupload, Filesonic and Fileserve ... [ read the full article ]

Aaah, the almighty cloud. I warned you folks about this. Now P2P is just going to have to get more creative. Obviously, there are simply things others aren't cleared to see. In a world hell bent on taking things out of context, misquoting or flat out plagiarizing you like a colonoscopy going horribly awry, the last thing we need is these people acting as 'police'.
We've all had that 'busy' neighbor, who'd if she spent as much time on keeping her family as she did running her nose up everyone else's ass her kids wouldn't be in jail, kind of neighbor? Well, that's what Rapidshare has 'volunteered' to here folks.
They'll kick you. Then they'll report you. Just to save their own asses. Mark my words... and it'll probably happen before I can get this posted & read a few times.

Download during the nighttime. Less chance of throttling. Better yet, use the built-in scheduler that comes with JDownloader to do this for you.

Jdownloader has been slow as hell on Rapidshare for the past couple weeks. Some times it doesn't work at all. Why are people keep using these websites to download from? Torrenting is far more efficient.

do you realise that throttling speeds on the net is against the law in the united states a company cannot throttle users not even a cable company if they do they face some serious court time and it would follow under Network neutrality law
and to add to my last note there not even based in the united states there based in the UK somewheres
