The-Ice-Man Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I've been trying all day to download some H.A.W.X plane skins that are hosted on RapidShare. Doesn't matter how many times I try, there are no slots for free users. They can kiss my arse if they think I'd ever pay to download anything from them. I would never upload anything to Rapidshare myself, but I can't help it if I want something that someone made who uploaded it there. All I can do is keep trying every two minutes until it decides to let me in. Why are people so stupid as to use such crap services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I've never had much trouble with RapidShare, apart from the mandatory waiting period for non-paying users. I assume RapidShare has a preset slot number for each geographical location (or something like that) and Brits just happen to get the short end of the stick. Personally, I don't like RapidShare that much, because there's just too many limitations even if they're only minor on my end. I prefer FileSend, Hotfile, MegaUpload, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ice-Man Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 I've managed to download two of the four files I'm trying to get. This is madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emsley Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Its a con plain and simple - might be us UK users Ice? I can never get a slot and when i do it C...........r..........................a.................................................w..........................................................................l.......................................................................................................................s. A few times it's just stopped. Guys must pay for this stuff - 10 dollars a month or something then be in a "private group" of down loaders. Im not much of a downloader anyways at the moment im on a wirless with set allowance. About three times a year when my parents go on holiday I lug my rig up to their house and completely RAPE their connection. I always have to wait till summer time though or early spring to get at it.

Robert Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 There's lots of other file sharers, there's even a thread around here somewhere with a list of them. I never use RapidShare if i can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ice-Man Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Me niether, but when you want something that someone's uploaded there, you don't have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 yeah, most sharing sites have moved to better alternatives but a lot of the older stuff is still only floating around on rapidshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Ice-Man Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 I actually ended up downloading some other stuff from Rapidshare yesterday. Some skins for Maximus Arcade. This time it was the download limit that got me, coz the files were over a certain size, I had to wait 15 minutes in between each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
