Top Speed: RapidShare Upgrade completed
September 02, 2008
This week we have completed the infrastructure upgrade with the result, that premium users can now enjoy full speed again. Also, we are able to allocate bandwidth to free users dynamically: Depending on the overall traffic you can up- and download with up to 2,0 megabit per second. If it is crowded though, you might experience only 0,2 megabit per second, since we always put our premium users first.
Thus, we have raised the daily premium download traffic from 5 gigabyte to 10 gigabyte. Please keep in mind that it is still necessary to limit the maximum download speed for free users to protect RapidShare from congestion caused by automated downloading. To compensate for that, we already eliminated the waiting period before starting a succeeding download.
We wish you a pleasant time using rapidshare.com and apologize for any inconvenience you might have experienced during the transition period.
声明说：rapidshare 已完成系统升级，将付费用户的日下载流量从5Gb增加到10Gb，不限速；免费用户则仍旧施行限速下载。本次升级最大的亮点就是取消了免费用户不能连续下载文件的限制，当下载完第一个文件后，不用再等上个八小时才能下载另一个文件了！而且免费用户下载资源时已经不需要输入图灵码（小猫代码）了，以前本人就经常因为输错小猫而不能下载。但是下载前的短暂读秒等待仍然需要免费用户忍受一下。
