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.
thanks aieti for the news.
Well this is how i understand it. Usually its like this
Day 1 = 10gb
Day 2 = 10gb
Day 3 = 10gb
So if you only download 5gb on day 1, you wasted your other 5gb. But with the new system, it can be brought forward to the next day. Eg:
Day 1 = 10 gb - Downloaded 5 gb = Extra 5gb
Day 2 = 10 gb + 5gb from Day 1 = 15gb - Downloaded 8gb = Extra 7gb
Day 3 = 10 gb + 7gb frm Day 2 = 17gb
so basically, if you didnt download for 4 days then on Day 5 you can download 50gb instantly
