Filehosts increased speeds
I suspect both these below will disappear without warning at some stage
DEPOSITFILES
I noticed a week or 2 ago when downloading there is now a 2nd option
to download UP to 10 times faster by simply watching a 30 second Ad.
Effectively making the wait time - 90 seconds countdown plus the captcha
Thinking it was a gimmick to sign-up for premium I bypassed it
Turns out it is actually a legitimate 2nd option for free users to download
Just make sure you disable your ad-blocker and make sure depositfiles is allowed in no script
or any script blocker your using as this will effect the option being made availabe
Currently downloading 528mb - speeds between 400Kb-750kb where usually they'd be 150kb
edit
I will point out their major weakness is once you've downloaded a large file theres a long wait for the next...528mb = 3hr20mins till next download...its a one off
RAPIDSHARE
Return to premium speeds for free users
from 30kb
which is very mediafire like
multiple simultaneous downloads...
had 8 going yesterday
Some have surmised this may be a way of finding the accounts which contain copyrighted material...We will know if more large rapidshare accounts get closed this was the possible reason for the increase in speed
