RapidShare Putting on the Brakes
I do not use it that often, but I came across this little gem today.

Quote:
Error

You want to download the following file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/

We regret that currently we have no available slots for free users. Unfortunately you will have to wait 2 minutes, this will allow us to continue to provide our service to our Premium users. Afterwards it will be checked again if you can access the file. If you do not want to wait that long, become Premium member

Please note, the server is not going to check again within the next 2 minutes if downloading is possible again. To provide a fair platform, all user get the same options.
Guess the recession is hitting everyone now eh?

Agreed! Just like Keez Movies done... there movies and site use to be fast but then they switched there layout to promote there premium upsells and now the free stuff is not even close to being the same in loading times, jumpy etc, I don't agree with them using stolen content or the amount of it etc but they are using the free stuff in the right manner to make the premium stuff look more appealing!

If napster got sued, and it went offline, why can't rapidshare be sued? It's napster in WWW form...

Awesome The more people distrust RapidShare the more will return back to the Search Engines instead of clicking on a RS link first..
