The RapidShare Happy Hours are active right now. Have fun!
Sounds great! For all download junkies around the world who don’t have premium access to Rapidshare account, Now they can download without passing through Captcha image and waiting for the download servers to execute your application of download. It’s really pathetic to wait for Rapidshare before download (experience speaks)
According to latest post on Rapidshare blog, They said-
As every free user should have noticed, we are experimenting once again with the CAPTCHA system. The reason is that RapidShare is popular enough for people to create tools to download from RapidShare as a free user as if they were a premium user. This has a negative impact for our paying premium users, since they expect a fast download. On the other hand we are also experimenting with happy hours again. When our servers have enough spare bandwidth, we will make it easier for free users to download from RapidShare, knowing that this also makes it possible again to automatically download files with those tools. Right now the RapidShare Happy Hours will disable the download tickets and the captchas completely.
So, from above, we get that they have disable long waiting for download ticket. But, this works for once in a day, I think because when i tried to download another file, Old rapidshare was back with same words asking me to open Premium account or wait for some time.
I don’t think that this Happy hours will be there for long so, better to take advantage of it as soon as possible.
It is working fine in bangalore.. love the rapidshare happy hours but i am fed up downloading every bit of software and Movies from the net!
Sometimes, it asks me to wait. i think it’s a problem in Nagpur.
