Hi, Victor!
Well, speaking from personal experience I bought 3-day Premium account
to download these files. It cost around 4.30 Euro ($5.00 US). The
first two files transferred at an average of 185 KB/s, the subsequent
files dropped down to less that 12 KB/s and flutuated widely spiking
at 30 KB/s, exactly the same speed as Free Access. I suspect that
Rapidshare bandwidth favours the high rollers, the 50 Euro 1 year
buyers and leave the others at low priority. I would avoid using this
service.
