30kB/s here, pinned. jDownloader even gave me a warning about this before starting the link - "due to Rapidshare's new policies they intentionally slow traffic, your downloads might look like they've stalled"...

Well I'm pretty much done with DDL now. Usenet is really the only way to go now.
As of 2 or 3 days ago wasn't affecting me, so maybe introduced slowly/in blocks? Didn't see a Jdownloader warning, but then I haven't updated it yet (saying 1 update available at present).

Seeing lot of people returning to Oron or similar, though apparently far from the best (banned by many forums etc) seem not to be throttling according to posts around the net
