People, If you are trying / saving hard to get a rapidshare premium account, just wait and think for a while...
Even if you pay rapidshare.com the money ($$$$) they want, they will put an IP Restriction on your rapidshare premium account. People at rapidshare.com are inexperienced, naïve, impractical and do not have any clue of what they are doing.
The scenario is that when you buy a premium account to download stuff, you tend to use it at more locations, at least occasionally if needed. Say, at home and at work for some serious file transfers. While you squeeze the net till it bleeds from home, the account would have logged with an IP Address. While you try to access using the crappy rapidshare.com premium account from another location genuinely, you are thrown with an error indicating that someone at your home IP is accessing the account (which obviously is you!).
Now tell me, if this is what you get after paying lots of money, what is the use of going for a premium account? Why would anyone want to go for a rapidshare.com Premium account?
If the rapidshare.com people are intelligent as claim to be, then they should think of alternative ways of restricting people from misusing the accounts. They should provide legitimate users with enough options / provisions to have control on the restrictive things.
In this case, they should have options in their premium page where the user can provide a list of IP Addresses / IP Ranges from where they would be connecting to and downloading. (Multiple IP Address and IP Address ranges are needed because not everyone has the luxury of Static IP Address).
Will rapidshare.com do this or keep getting flames for crappy stuff?
Rapidshare-AG are you listening?
If you don't know how to do stuff, HIRE ME or some good people!
