1 edit | Re: slow download to rapidshare.com Suddenlink is responsible for this, not Rapidshare. Megaupload speeds are also capped.
I could previously get 600kb down using a download manager and it seems to be capped at 50kb or so. It can dip to as low 10kb when they're feeling especially cruel.
I called their tech support and asked if the site had been throttled. They claim that they don't do this. I also asked if I have exceeded some type of bandwidth quota and I haven't.
I contacted Rapidshare and they said that it's the provider (Suddenlink). I can get the same file from Verizon at the speed that I previously got on Suddenlink. That seems pretty damning to me.
It seems like a silly reason to switch service providers but I'm probably going to unless I can get a resolution.
Here's a test file for you. It's pictures of cats if you're curious.
