Yes, after years of cheating the Rapidshare service, today i have decided to buy my own premium account. It is not so expensive, i payed 6.99 EUR for 1 month. It was realy worth of it. You know, i just love warez ;P … i downloaded 2 movies and 3 games already (i bought it today morning). Of course, if you have dynamic IP you can renew it… but i dont have one. I have static and shared IP… shared with thousands of customers using same ISP i am using. What does it mean? It basicly means that if there are even only 2000 customers (it’s a small, local ISP) and even if only 10% of them is using rapidshare, lets say one time per day it gives us 0.1 * 2000 = 200 customers per day. So 200 downloads per day. And how many people can download from one ip per day? Hmmm… Let’s say one file downloads 30 minutes (100 MB in polish reality) and than you have to wait about 60 minutes (sometimes even longer) so 1.5h per file. 24 / 1.5 = 16 files downloaded daily…
What else could i try? the renew IP command will take no effect as it is static IP. Well… i can search for proxy server, right. Those extremly slow ways to mask your IP address are quite popular toady. So no chance if i will google for “free proxy servers list” – most of them will be already used by RS leechers already or not working or slow as hell.
So i think it was totaly worth of it. I have the luck i’ve got PayPal account and a credit card and i had few euros inside. Oh, btw, if you want to make some money over internet for free i recommend you that site. It’s not a phishing site or something like that. And you maybe dont earn a lot of money, but hey, it works
