so I bought a rapidshare premium today, and I was very happy and queued all these files to download

to my surprise after midnight on the unlimited period, the speed for these download dropped to 256, extremely slow and the rapidshare page would load extremly slowly if I try to open it. however my internet is still fast, any other site would open quickly and any other speedtest or download would go fast

it is almost as if my ISP is like hampering it or something after midnight
I am with sodetel. any ideas?

I tried changing DNS, using a proxy with my download manager(I use internet download manager) etc... making several downloads at the same time maybe the net speed would rise but nothing works.

I paid 40$ for this for my account.

edit: at exactly 2 am, just now, the download is 220 kbps, the normal 2 Mb I am paying for. the question is why :o why is it blocked before 2 am?
According to a friend who had a rapidshare account and who's also a Sodetel user, the speed after midnight drops significantly and in fact i remember he told me that he could barely open the Rapidshare page. But, this problem solves itself starting from 2am onward. So queue your files and leave them through the night and check in the morning how much it managed to download.
so I did, they also slice my speed in half after 2 am :( so I am downloading at 1 mbps instead of the 2 I paid for

but I always remember when just a year ago I was downloading at 256 kbps and so I am satisfied :P
Wouldnt waste money on premium subs to filesharing sites, not after what happened to megaupload, especially given rapidshare is just as high profile :D

Anyway, yeah download speed has been garbage lately with sodetel.
I had a year fileserve premium, to expire next september, and they decided they no longer want to be a filesharing service

yeah the whole thing blows, which is why I am buying 5 month at a time...

and splitting it with 2 friends
5 month rs premium=12$ it's what I would spend on a burger and a pepsi...
actually I am a pepsi addict so this is what I spend on pepsi alone :P

in any case, despite bad download speed and only after 2 am, it is still good, I can have 3 GB a day, in my scheduler, no need to stay awake, I am always getting the latest episodes of all my TV shows(rapidshare is now quick to delete copyrighted stuff it seems) and it is only 12$ :P
Man why Buy a premium account of any Filesharing sites, when there are alot of Leech sites that let you download the files from those filesharing sites as a premium user ,
Premium as in, you can download with a stable speed of your Internet Speed, no lower,no higher,
And the downloads are resumable.
instead of googling for stuff and getting zillions of potential viruses and trojans and not always finding the links I need etc etc... I can pay 20$ a year and be in download heaven :P that's how I see it
