And I'm with iLOVENZB, "Pessimism gets you nowhere". The ones who've paid still get extra's!

Only if you're looking at the bigger picture, say I paid to get premium access only for the unlimited speeds bit the day before they made this change, you'd be quite annoyed wouldn't you?

the only thing i pay for is USENET ... others can SUCK IT !!!

Never heard of Zevera. Anyone else use it? Looks like a decent way to download from these hosters. Although if they're download tool won't work on Linux through Wine, then I'll constantly have to use their website.

They had their chance and they blew it. RS was at one point holding 90% of the file hosting links available. They got greedy and they began to squeeze their paying customers and tinkling on the free downloaders with all their tricks to make you pay.

It would be a good thing if they went the way of the dinosaur. One, other hosting sites would think twice about screwing with their customer base as RS did without the risk of being abandoned the same as RS is now. Two, it takes away their chance to do it all over again which they certainly would. The owners of RS are greedy, slimy, corporate hogs who don't deserve our pity.

Now if all the rest of the file hosting sites would get rid of the darn unreadable captcha's, I'd be gratful.

Would you really signup to a service which has been notorious for crippling their customers for only speeds?

Premium users still get benefits (see below):

Here's news for you kids: The sole purpose for existence of any company is to generate as much revenue as possible to its owners.
