Base on the page ranking of RapidShare in Malaysia via Alexa, we can aware that Malaysian always use RapidShare to share and downloading hot stuff. RapidShare is a online file storage hosting service, which they claim themself as world’s biggest and fastest 1-click file-hoster.

Since a lot of us may use RapidShare to upload and download a lot of stuff. As a free user (without paying to upgrade to Premium-account), it’s quite annoying when we were face some limitations which is unable to download for a certain period after downloading a big file.

Limitation for free user
Those who don’t have premium accounts may download files but the service will come with limits. Other than the download speed being a lot slower for non-premium users, rapidShare has a download limit of 30 MB per hour for free user. Beside, free users can only parallelly download 1 file at a time, and subject to countdown (waiting) time delay before download start.

In order to avoid the limitation of RapidShare, your can using proxy servers to mask your IP address so you may download more files from Rapidshare’s free service or using third-party downloading software. Of course, you also allow to signing up for a premium account which need you to pay (if you’re an avid downloader).
