Here I am telling you few very useful tips on using RS for free users. I am telling you these tricks on the behalf of my personal experience.
1) First of all do check your original time zone. Because RS is originally owned by company in Germany and there servers are located in Switzerland.
2) When it is about 10:00 pm there in Switzerland, download demands at rapidshare go down. So definitely this is the best time for free users to use RS. When you start downloading the speed of your downloads will be automatically increased.
3) Make sure that you clear you computer internet history.
My observations:
1) In routine periods : Average download speed is not more than 40 KB/sec
2) After 10:00pm (in Switzerland) : Normal ratio of download speed increases to 200 KB/sec
3) Some times it offers you for parallel downloads.
Don't forget to switch off your modem or DSL connection and clear internet explorer cache and cookies between every download. This works very fine for me. Hope it helps you people too. Also note that this procedure for free downloading not works properly on weekend days, because on weekends people gets a lot of free time for internet suffering and downloading their favorite files from rapidshare.
