Sometimes I can get a download going, maybe even up to about 75% through it and it just dies. Lately though, I've been getting a message saying there's not enough download slots for free members. Then I try again and it says try again in two minutes. When I do, same error again.

The "not enough download slots" message is just due to the fact that too many people are trying to download stuff at the same time. I get this message sometimes. You just have to keep trying. Its best to do downloads during the daytime when there are less users.

Thats exactly the problem I had with my AOL browser,it was bloody frustrating. Then started to use a diferent browser and havent had a problem since.

I'll try Chrome, Opera or Safari and see what happens. Not touching IE with a barge pole.

Tried it on Google Chrome, same old story. Download cut out at about 10%.

I know beggers can't be choosers but is there a reason you lovely uploaders don't use Megaupload? It's free to upload and there's never any issues with it.

Sorry to hear youre still having Problems.

The only other things I can suggest is

- Prehaps Download using a different Server (Under Advanced settings)

- Could it be your Firewall/AntiVirus causing Problems?

- Prehaps consider using a Download Manager. I know Rapdshare have thier own but not sure if available to free Users. Cant really recommended one as I dont use one myself but prehaps someone else can (or failing that Google )

Good Luck

Thanks for your tips wotzup, I'll try it out.

Try "free download manager" at download.com it captures rs files etc, and has resume etc. Orbit is best for rs premium though.

Thanks Fatso, I'll have a look.

OK so I have the free download manager but it doesn't seem to be downloading Rapidshare links properly, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what. I tried pasting the initial RS link in and it just DL'ed the file in 2 seconds but it wasn't the file obviously. Then I tried the RS file you get after waiting for 120 seconds and it just did the same thing.
