Help!

A number of visitors are having difficulties downloading from the Blog, with the message that it is "for Rapid Pro users only", or something similar.

The Rapidshare account seems to be in good order, with 286gb of traffic available.

Can anyone offer an explanation - is it an issue with my account with Rapidshare, or something to do with the affected users?

Thanks, and have a nice weekend.

  1. rapidshare is garbage now since they changed all their rules. use hotfile.

  2. Hi, rapidshare allows free users to dl files from them at a certain size. The size of the files in the previous post are larger than rapidshare allows for free users. That is why the message comes up for rapidshare pro users. It is just their file size policy.

  3. I'm not a pro user, but none of the files have presented any problems for me? It tells me that some things are for pro users only, but I can get rid of them and download the files anyway...

  5. I have encountered the same on other blogs.

    I atribute it to the fact that RapidShare sucks like a vacuum.

  6. It is strange but at home i can download from Rapidshare. Only at work it doesn't seem to work anymore. Hope someone knows the solution

  7. Rapidshare usually makes it harder to download in the free mode, but recently it has made it more difficult, with most of the time putting up notices saying you have exceeded your limit and to upgrade to pro. I havent been able to download on rs for a while. Love the blod btw

  8. Hello there,
    I think i found the solution. Try to use the normal link instead of the secure one. For example use this link:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/432719747/1982.09.DEE.rar

    instead of the secure one:
    https://rapidshare.com/#!download|643l3|432719747|1982.09.DEE.rar|74019

    It works for me at home.

    btw thanks for all the great bootlegs. This blog is really great with all the JD/NO gems!

  12. cRapidshare is garbage for free users. doesnt even recognize you if you sign up for a free account thru them. completely useless & a waste of time. hotfile, fileserve, and megaupload still deliver the goods beyond belief. and mediafire is OK once you get past all the ads for emoticons

  13. and i wouldnt have a problem signing up for a pro account thru cRapidshare if they kicked a portion of the purchase price back to the artists im d/l from there. but they arent. so i wont. i'll just continue to buy reissues to upgrade my old official vinyl copies (ie- supporting the artists) and wait in hope that i can eventualy & THANKFULLY find the live stuff from a source i can actually access
