Megaupload Shut Down

[Krispwee]

I get utter dog s**t speeds from RS since MU went down. It seems like they are just overloaded with new users. I struggle to get anything above a solid 2MB/s when previously it was 4-5MB/s

 

[Andy.]

I was also wondering about that. No more than 1.5 mb/s on each download and it used to go upto 8-10 without a problem. Downloads taking more than 2 minutes FTL.

 

[Rob]

Same here, I was always an RS purist so why are these cretins invading my bandwidth?

The most disgusting thing is that the founder of MegaUpload reportedly got 50 years imprisonment. I mean, wtf!? :dead:

 

[Andy.]

Where did you pull that titbit of random info out of?!?!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

It's true, He was a wierdo but that's a big sentence.

 

[Andy.]

It's also complete b****cks!

 

[Gavin.]

They have a court case to deal with first, then there will be a sentence. So yes its b****cks.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I thought 50 years was a but excessive!

For people getting pissed off with rapidshare download speeds.. are you using the Rapidshare tool for downloading? I just tried the flashgot plugin in firefox and got my normal 8-10MB/s download per file, whereas the RS downloader was only allowing 1-1.5MB/s. It looks like their software is throttling the downloads rather than the site.

Thanks C.J

I know nothing about this story, so clicked that expecting to get a bit of an insight as to what's gone on. Got as far as "A New Zealand court denied Kim Dotcom.." and closed the tab.

Whatever he's done he deserves to be locked up for eternity just for that name.

 

[Daniel Ellis]

That's his warez name, stops him from being identified. Didn't do a very good job though!

 

[Gavin.]

Lol Daniel you keep giving me these opportunities. Kim Dotcom is his real name, he changed it legally around 2005 ish.

Kim Dotcom is making a new website called "Mega",

Hopefuly will make all the other websites to speed up the downloads like before.
