I dont think RS lovers using Rapid Pro for Downloads,as user friendly downloads comes in free for downloaders,only few ppl have Pro.
After MF Period,now Free users hv to leave RS too.:x:=> We are Cursed by our Own Soul <=:x:.

nooky.usI guess we have to go back to using VPNs or switching IPs.
Might be good for other hosts. Maybe more people choose my Rapidgator links instead of the Rapidshare ones.

Since the lot of you don't seem to understand, allow me to explain.
What this new change means if you're a free user and you upload, say, an image file (a meme, for example) of 100KB, your account has a 1GB daily limit.
This file, if shared publicly, can now be downloaded 10,485 times. After that, none of the files you uploaded can be downloaded by any member of the public; free, premium, or anonymous. Essentially, your account is on 'hold' for the remaining day until your bandwidth resets the next day.
Changing your IP address is useless, as this limit applies to your ACCOUNT. You're not limited in download traffic, your files are limited on the traffic they generate. You can still download other public files, assuming the account that uploaded said file(s) haven't reached their own bandwidth quotas, etc.
This does not apply to the files you share with specific contacts, so if you're looking to share illegal content, lol, you'll need to add your downloaders as contacts to bypass this new rule.
Still feel like being an RS fanboy? I don't think so.
I personally think this change is going to drive away pirates, yes. But this change is going to cause them a lot more headache than they're signing up for. I can, as of right now, think of hundreds of uses for a free account and legitimate file sharing that this will drive away. People collaborating and delivering their open source projects, for example, via Rapidshare will see their 1GB of file bandwidth running out pretty fast if they're free accounts. 30GB isn't all that grand either for a Rapidpro. But I can understand why Rapidshare would implement this measure.
In any case, it'll be interesting to see how this new change plays out with Rapidshare.
