rapidshare seems to be pretty good now as far as download speeds go. I been downloading a lot of stuff from them lately. They seemed to have removed their daily download limit for free users or maybe I haven't downloaded enough to reach their daily download limit. Their waiting period between downloads for free users has disappeared and in my location the download speeds for free users seems to fluctuate between 120KBs to 400KBs. I haven't uploaded anything to them yet,so I do not know how fast their upload speed is for free users. Download speeds probably depend solely on the location of the person who is downloading just like with any other file host.
Before some dipshit who hasn't used rapidshare in years goes running their mouth off about how rapidshare is rapidshit that person should actually try downloading from rapidshare first before running their mouth.
Rapidshare decided to cap free users to 30kbps.
