As I saw your speed is below 1 mbps so 80 KB/s is quite good.If you get more than 1.5 mbps then may be rapidshare speed also increase.

if u use rapidshare premium account then u will get dedicated speeds,don't expect max speeds from rshare on free account.

RS cap for free users is 500 KB/s if i remember correctly,....

most probably its a temporary issue. Morover if the traffic load is high, then the speed of free users is automatically reduced to give maximum speed to paid users....

500 KBps is certainly generous.

Thanks to all for reply....... but rupu (kolkata): i download from Rapidshare @ 180-220kbps from last 1.5 years...... & 20-80kbps not good or normal speed of Rapidshare......

wait for 4-5 days and see if this is consistent ..

Hi jon08 any update on your problem? I've got a very similar problem at the moment. If you fixed your problem, how?

Thanks.

How much speed you are getting ??
I am in Home 500 plan as rapidshare speed free account user I get some times 160-180 KB/s sometimes even 50-60 KB/s also.So it's variable for me.

Try TCP/IP optimizer from speedguide.net

No difference. I get full speed for all other sites but can only get at most 150kps from rapidshare (i could get well over double that before). I'm on a premium rapidshare account by the way. Could it be my isp is limiting my speed for rapidshare? I've notice a few people online with this problem but can't find a solution. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

There are no reports of ISP capping the speed.
