rapidshare.com down for NTL / Blueyonder users??

This is what it says on confirmation email -

RapidShare.com and RapidShare.de are completely different companies. It is not possible to download files, use folders or collector's accounts from RapidShare.de at RapidShare.com and worthwise.

Your RapidShare.de login is not valid on RapidShare.com. If you are a RapidShare.de premium member, you can use our premium promotion (limited time only) to get a RapidShare.com premium account for free.

All you've got to do is to login to your RapidShare.de Premium Zone. After the usual welcome message you see how long your account is valid. Next to that you will see a number code in brackets which you have to copy. It looks like this (example): 123456-1234567890. This number has to be entered on bottom of the site of the following link, so we can check if you really have a valid RapidShare.de account. Within seconds you will get a free account which is as long valid as your original account. Of course you can only create one premium account for each RapidShare.de account. Your account will not be extended at RapidShare.com if you extend your account at RapidShare.de.

More infos: dead link

Please write down the login number and password you get from us.

If it doesn't work please specify where you entered the code or your login data and what error message you get. Please also tell us the promotion code you used. It is still visible in the premium zone of your RapidShare.de account.

Please note this is a one-time promotion. You can get a free account at RapidShare.com that will be valid as long as your RapidShare.de account is valid at the moment you create the RapidShare.com account. Your new account at RapidShare.com will not be extended if you extend your account at RapidShare.de!

RapidShare.com is the future of a better, faster and more interesting 1-Click Webhosting. You will see that we will provide you a totally new service with more support. Please read our website to get more information about us.

I have extended once already. Does this mean I can no longer download from rapidshare.com links? If so I have been misled and ripped off!

Anyone else have the same problem and know how to sort?

NTL is the largest cable provider in the UK. So obviously my stuff only applies to UK users.

Sounds like a loyal employee I doubt it though, looks more like they are trying to block access to me. BT do/did the same thing.

Thanks for the https tip, works a treat, lets hope they dont try and block that too, really dont want the hassle of switching ISP.

RS stopped accessing for me last week, then was ok and has stopped again, BT here. Will try the https trick. Thanks

I'm with BT and had the same problem of intermittent access. The https trick works fine apart from some popup warning windows.

I also had problems accessing RS.de a while ago and when I contacted them they accused suppliers like BT although the problem just went away. I'm not sure they were blaming others for their poor service (servers all full) I can't see why an ISP would stop someone just accessing www.rapidshare.com for example, since that did not work earlier this week let alone any of the links to the content.

i am having problems too.was able to access rapidshare this morning but haven't managed to connect for the past 10 hours.had similar problems yesterday but before that it worked fine--i'm on BT.
p.s. tried adding the "s" to http but got "file not found" message---may be coincidence but file was available this morning
p.p.s.tried a couple more downloads ,adding s to http but got "file not found"each time

So what is the problem here? can anyone explain it?

I cant get to rs.com ...so I use the ipconfig /flushdns and I can get rs.com ONLY (no futher into the site except log into my account.

I CANT get and rs.com link UNLESS i make http into https...and I can download ok.

Great...except that i cant use my download manager unless I enter https in there as well.

Is the problem my isp or some quirk in the rs.com or my browser? (have tried ie7/firefox/opera ??? I suspect not the browser 'cos sometimes it works ok just clicking a rs.com link...other times not.

I use bt in UK and router has been connected for weeks so my IP is same all time
when using htttps...the downloads are only about .25 of normal

Anyone any ideas?

The problem I had and indeed STILL have is that I am unable to use rapiduploader to re upload all my files (they were accidentally deleted )

I can use https to enable me to view rs content but upload by rapidupload uses http it seems and no way to change to https. RS havent a clue and say it must be me!!!!!!

I too find sometimes it works and sometimes not and my PC has been on for the past 5 weeks...so browser changes are not the problem....

Until then my threads remain 'closed'!!

I too have this problem and have found a couple of solutions. Yes, this is a problem involving British Telecom, they are apparently trying to save bandwidth. Try Googling "Rapidshare.com blocked by British Telecom". You'll find several techie forums with posts on the subject.

Pasting a link into the address bar and adding s after the http does get you to Raidshare.com but doesn't always find the file.

I have now downloaded TorPark from hxxp://www.torrify.com/ (change xx to tt). This is a non instal version of Firefox with Tor built in. Use this with Tor enabled to access the first page of Rapidshare.com. Before you click "free" or "premium" disable Tor using the onion button on the taskbar. If you don't the download can be very slow.

If you're a free user like me just click "free", wait for the timer to countdown and away you go. Hope this helps.

Sorry double post.

using the firefox with tor built in seems to work for uploads....thanks for the tips here
dosnt solve the upload problem using rapidupload though

Well it looks like I cant upload via rapidupload...

I am not going to mess around with upping files one by one using https etc etc I have enough points to keep me going with downloads (using tor and firefox) for ages though.

Pity ..cos i have a lot of new stuff.. never mind....

I have been having problems even with the https trick in the last couple of days. Also Rapidshare used to offer a range of servers to download from (so I could right click and file (save as) immediately) but now I just get a simple download or open file window when it does work. Anyone got the same problems?

Anyone else having the prob with timing out?

I tried the https trick and everything works ok...but its 'king annoying.

Uploads seem to work only every other hour ...ie not via the uploader

They are restricting certain ip address groups again???
