buying a premium membership will cut off those annoying wait times between each download, not mentioning the dreaded "all the free slots for your country etc etc" message;

i can't talk about speed because having 640kbs bandwidth i always go full speed, even as a free user...

you may want to try JDownloader, which will handle all the queues and wait times

I have premium accounts with Rapidshare, Megaupload, and Hotfiles. I make sacrifices to afford them, like not going to the movies in over a year. Worth every penny.

I usually come here and check for the videos I'm interested in, available via RS or MegaUpload.

Then, i bookmark them.

When i have like 8 or more videos bookmarked, I buy the cheapest RS or Megaupload i can get, then i download them all in no time at all! :snicker2:

yes, i have a rapidshare premium account. no wait times between downloads & i can download with 1,4 mb/s which is the fastest i can do with my connection.

you can get points on rapidshare for your uploads. i've uploaded some JAV, people downloaded it and i've got so many points that i was able to buy a premium account with them :D

Download speed depends on your maximum allowable speed and if you're on a premium account (no more than 1Mbps if you're downloading as a free user). Most logical choice? Buy a premium account.

Have had a RapidShare Premium account for a long time now, worth every penny. It's not that expensive in the long run, the longer you sign up for the more discount you get. Just be careful to store more than 25/50 GB on your account, they just recently added some retarded policy on that.

I have a premium account to MegaUpload and Rapidshare, but I share the MU account with four people, and the rapidshare one with three people. Ends up being quite cheap that way.

when u'r bandwith is 640Kbps (that mean u'r download speed is 100KB/s or less)
there's no different in download speed either u pay or free user, but premium user have more advantage than free as you can resume download, no waiting time and no (most annoying message) "this file is can only donwloaded as premium user"

if u'r download speed is more than 100KB/s u better buy the premium

i used to buy the premium like one in 2-3 month, while i'm not using premium usually i collecting movies that i like and make list of download link with microsoft excel, when i'm buy, boom every second is used to download :snicker2:

other way if you want free but maximum download spedd (and resume download, no waiting time, and else...) just looking for movies with mediafire link, still is the best free user service :prance:

Free as in beer for me. If I don't see fit to pay the original creators, why the hell would I pay money to some third party?

Seven Euros isn't much for some of us. Why bother waiting in front the PC for your download to finish and set up the next que, when you can just buy a premium, set it all up in minute or too and go out and have some fun. When you get home, your downloads are already finished. No hassles. No frills. Oh yes, it's so fun to have a life.

I have a subscription on Rapidshare and megaupload. Hotfile is pure crap, even with membership, so i prefer to avoid it.
