yeah i am starting to feel the pain too today.. i am a mu premium user too.. usually i get 120kbps 24/7..
starting this evening.. only 80kpbs max.. even now as i type it already drops to 40kbps and maintaining at that level..
damn sucks laa streamyx..

i am in the process of upgrading tho from my 1mpbs package to 4mbps package.. will update u guys when its done and give feedback whether there is a difference or not..

some of u will be asking why upgrade from 1mp to 4mp package if u say streamyx suck.. well because my company is paying for my broadband monthly expenses, thats why..

a good way to ask would be to enquire why you cant access rapidshare.. it would be more polite and ensure you get a response.. rather then going on the attack at 1st time of asking...

just my 2 cents..

i use internet download manager..
bought the ori key after finish the trial period..
25usd but worth every dime if u ask me..

also just upgraded to 4mb strmyx..
prev on 1mb.. only manage to get 100-110kbps download speed max..
cannot do anything else like surf IE while downloading cos IDM hog all the bandwidth.. so if wanna surf have to turn of idm..
now with 4mb.. download speed around 200-250kpbs.. and can still browse the net super fast! loving it..

update:
it seems my download speed during peak hours is 200-250...
during non peak like 5.30 in the morning i get 500-550kpbs!

this happened to me before when i was on 1mb package n i was already maxing my bandwidth.. when my download manager tries to create a new connection, it fails n errors out..

my suggestion would be to limit the amount of files u download concurrently.. try downloading 2 files at a time and if it still errors out then better just download 1 file at a time.. at least u will get max speed for 1 file download per time..

guys..

whats the cheapest price you have seen a reseller sell a 3 month access premium megaupload account?

right now i am buying online using paypal and it cost me RM65.. just thinking if there are cheaper places to get em online..

thanks for the heads up.. have bookmarked your thread..
when i 1st got em it cos RM70++.. then RM65.. later?
your price is nice indeed..

Using IDM with 4mb streamyx line..
average download speed between 450kbps-500kbps..

just paste the content of that text file into your yahoo mail or gmail and mail it to yourself.. then open the email and highlight all the links, right click the highlighted links and select 'download with IDM'..

its not rocket science to figure out what is happening..

when there's a surge of bandwidth request for a particular node then TM will turn on throttling so every1 gets a fair share of the bandwidth..

when there's not many request coming in thru that node then there will be no throttling..

if i run a broadband business, this would be my MO..

whats your current broadband package speed?
if you are on streamyx 1mb, your current download speed is pretty fast..
but if you are on the 4mb package, with premium your download speed will almost double.. averaging between 450kbps to 500kbps..

all i could say from my exp..
1mb streamyx + premium megaupload = 150kbps download speed
4mb + premium = 450kbps..

so let say yours is 2.3mpbs with 250kpbs.. theoretically u should get better speed..

u can try buying the 1 month access of premium megaupload to test it out 1st.. its quite cheap.. around RM35++

the slowdown was reported a few days ago on Star..
they are repairing some underwater lines affecting internet access to Taiwan n US.. everything should be back to normal on 2nd May..

yeah its very slow right now.. downloads are trickling at 10kbps most of the time but during lunch hour today i manage to get 450kbps full download speed on my 4mb line for a solid hour before it slows down again..

mine is 450kbps.. ip was 60.48.xxx.xxx...

i get 400-500 24/7..
depends on your area's usage actually and my area must have pretty low volume users...

i am facing no problems whatsoever in putrajaya..

you guys should state which area are you guys in..

i am guessing your areas are full of downloaders so streamyx is throttling/limiting your access to megaupload servers..

damn! now i also kena!
it was working fine this evening..
how did u know the redirection script is down for premium members?
when will it be back up?

yup... speed are capped nowadays.. time to move on from megaupload and get filesonic or hotfile if i'm not mistaken..
