How safe is Rapidgator?

I keep hearing it's waiting for the big fall and it will take your money with them.

Anyone know where's they're based?

In these days of uncertainty, I would only go for a month subscription to start with. I've lost 4 premium accounts in the last year, so I'm done buying long subscriptions.

in my opinion is the worst evere, it always down, download speed 63-65 customer service takes days and days to answer, be carefull it's a automatic reseller on your payment options

Thanks for your advice.

I think you really do need a good download speed if you're paying premium, and if it's not there then what's the point?

Luckily, my three-month Oron subscription ended the day BEFORE the site came down. I was lucky there, but I lost money on Fileserve.

Safe, maybe, in that they're outside the US Jurisdiction.

A word of warning here from their web site:

'When you buy a monthly Premium access, you sign up for auto renewal. This means that after every 30 days billing will automatically charge money from your account and your premium access will be extended. In this case unnecessary to worry that your premium account will expire - everything happens automatically for your comfort. At the same time, you always can unsubscribe of auto renewals.


Hmm...

Anyone know how to turn off the rebilling option with them?

edit: Just found it here. We'll see if it works:

http://rapidgator.net/settings/other

On "My Account" you press "Profile", goes to "Modify account settings " and press "Other"
There is an option on this screen where you can disable the recurring payment...

Right. Thanks for that. I've just ordered one month's subscription.

Had no choice. Rapidgator's everywhere.

Thanks again.

I like rapidgator. Their download speeds are great for premium users. My fear is that they will collapse just like Oron though. It seems like there is a trend now of file hosts dying. When Oron died it left a huge mess. My fear is that all these people using rapidgator for Hollywood movies will destroy it. But I guess there's nothing you can do. People are going to upload anything and everything. Who would have ever thought a gay porn company would destroy the largest porn hoster to date. Cut off the money supply and any company will die.

I guess we all know which one will be next after ORON. Damn, 3 months subscription is also not safe now. More like depends on your luck.
