Tired of the annoying Rapidshare error messages such as the following to force you into a paid membership at unreasonable prices for file hosting:
Unfortunately right now our servers are overloaded and we have no more download slots left for non-members. Of course you can also try again later.
See what happens in most cases, when you try again later - hit the browser's refresh button and here it comes:
Currently a lot of users are downloading files. Please try again in 2 minutes or become a Premium member.
Please note, the server is not going to check again within the next 2 minutes if downloading is possible again. To provide a fair platform, all user get the same options. Your last attempt was 12 seconds ago.
Recently nothing changes and you get the same annoying messages whether you try two minutes later, or in another two hours.
Rapidshare says too many free users are downloading right now to sell more paid memberships - oh so-called - as low as 7 Euros/month. This is a price for which you can get unlimited web hosting including free site builders, databases and free CMS set-ups and not to mention e-mail with gigs of storage quota.
