Hi all,

I'm a premium user, and have been for a couple of years. I use Flashget as my primary download manager, with max 8 files simultaneous downloads. I am still on the 1M package, and on good days, I get download speeds between 150 - 180KB/s.

Until recently, when I have 8 files being downloaded simultaneously, flashget would more or less evenly distribute the speeds between the 8 files, say 20 - 30KB/s per file.

Since February however, rapidshare files are very unevenly distributed. A typical 8 file simultaneous download would have one file at 105KB/s, and the rest with 10 or some SINGLE digit KB/s.  Worse of all, when the file with the fast speed is completed, flashget does not detect, and the rest of the files are still being downloaded at very slow speeds. And this happens only with Rapidshare files, as megaupload files are pretty evenly distributed.

Anyone else with this problem?

Also, flashget doesn't like megashares....and I use IDM for that.

For IDM users, is everyone using the registered version?  I am still pondering whether I should pay for it, as the unregistered one has some limitations

Please advise!! Thanks in advance

i think u should.....i love IDM...best of best download manager
i think alot of ppl downloading rapidshare also using IDM as well
the newer version can limit speed...even nicer

or maybe on which server u use to get the files perhaps?

i suggest u check from which server u can get those amazing speeds, and always aim for that particular servers when queuing the download...

IDM can check the links for availability as well as checking which RS server to download..Flashget never used b4..so no idea if same feature available..

i wonder how many people in here .. still using 10gb capped premium ..?

AM using IDM now, how do I check which server? Thanks!

HappyHours for Premium customers

March 19, 2009
We will now implement HappyHours for our Premium customers, so you can use our infrastructure in the best possible way. Currently, the HappyHours will be active from 2 a.m. until 10 a.m. Central European Time since that is the only time during which there is unused bandwidth left. During that time, only 10% of the data volume you download will be charged to your traffic balance. So if you download 300 Megabytes during HappyHours, only 30 Megabytes will be accounted. This applies also if you use RapidPoints or TrafficShare for your downloads.
The amount of unused traffic that can be accumulated has been raised from 12 Gigabytes to 15 Gigabytes.
Please note that this has to be regarded as a test, and we can reverse the modifications or change the time and percentage rate of the HappyHours at any time if neccessary.

i still want my 10gb per day limit back dang it

confirmed the happy hour ends at 5pm our time (GMT +8)..now i confirm having 15gb accumulated traffic..
now testing for the 10% thingy..

i'm going to download even more!!  MOAR! MOAR! MOAR!

RS must be feeling the pressure from MU
If i just use my 95GB of trafficshare during this happy hour, I can see endless amount of hd stuff for meh
