Is it me or these sites are ACTUALLY cutting your download speed if you choose the normal/free download account?

No matter what, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON AN ACCOUT

mediafire is perfectly fine IMO anyway...

I don't know really. I download from those sites and its **** slow. Meanwhile on torrents it goes extremely fast.

Maybe because extremely active torrents with hundreds of seeders have a hell of a lot more bandwidth to spare than a single company's servers?

Almost everything that can be either used for free or paid for works better when you pay for it. It can't be that shocking.

Where are your brain cells?

I just thought it was my modem or something. Because the downloads ran at 400+kbps suddenly they started going at 150-kbps. Thus creation of this thread.

Also thought the companies were fraud with the whole paying ****.

In this case it's irrelevant - because RapidShare is absolutely not worth paying for.
