I keep trying to download files ...I feel your pain. I keep trying to download files from RS but they're huge and drop frequently (RS sends them through at something like 27kb/s while Mediafire will go at 150-250). Result - a waste of time and bandwidth. The problem is that with so many filesharing sites, one has to choose which works best for them. Country location may be an issue as well (I'm not US-based). I can't afford to pay subscriptions to all of them, and don't like RS (which I used originally). DF isn't deleting files willy-nilly, which both RS and Mega would do. My uploads are practically at a snail's pace, but at least the files are there. I wish I could make it easier, but I won't solicite bandwidth from others, nor can I afford it myself. Thus, until circumstances change, we all have to live with it. So to make a short reply long, sorry for your problems, but we're both in the same boat.

The previous 3 took an hour each and resulted in an empty file. The successful one took 30 minutes.<br /><br />On average files of the same size on Rapidshare or Mediafire download in 3 to 4 minutes on the same connection and machine.<br /><br />Not complaining. I'm grateful for the music, as always.gypsykathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03752558012786005756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070935607721414276.post-66863214706270473632012-04-26T13:42:39.760-04:002012-04-26T13:42:39.760-04:00Hi Chester,
