Yep, can confirm, getting a massive (/sarcasm off) 30-33 kbps on my download. So at present ~6.5 hours for a 700 meg file according to Jdownloader

Motherfucking Hypocrites. They surely can speak the truth about their being capitalists or at least of their mother being a daytime hooker.

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"...

Didn't this start a couple weeks ago? I know last week I tried downloading some RS links with jdownloader and I got the warning from the app. Such bullshit...

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).

Those who don't want to give CC details maybe just use the phone call option - who knows may see a modern twist on the old days of carding and phreaking to pay lol

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

Its kinda funny to say the don't talk about usenet rule considering this site has a forum section dedicated to usenet questions and a big section dedicated to usenet downloads :D

The unspeakable is so yesterday.....Long may it live :whistling

I hate this, man the internet used to have everything, now it's just frustrating

Privacy and maxed out speeds, no matter what the file is.

My satisfaction with usenet tends to be all the things it DOESN'T have when comparing it to bittorrent.
