Rapidshare upload problem.

Hi!

Don't know to post this question. I thought it's time go give something back and upload all my clips on rapidshare. But it won't work. It when I click on upload it says something like this (translated from swedish)

Connection failed to server. If I go back it starts, but 0kb/s. Don' know what I'm doing wrong.

Tried in both Explorer and Firefox and get the same error

It works with one file at a time, but not multiple at the same time upload.




In swedish:
Anslutningen avbröts

Anslutningen till servern återställdes under hämtningen av sidan.

Nätverkslänken avbröts under anslutningsförsöket.
Försök igen.

If some one good from Sweden could help me understand what's wrong

I think this is the problem!

You're trying to upload multiple files simultaneously, but the total size of all files is larger than 200 MB. That's not gonna work, if not...

1. Using some kind of software - recommended (it's their own): dead link

2. Open up just as many windows/tabs as your files.

And if you have no premium account, create a collector.

I had the same problem the first time i tried. If you don't have a premium account:

Just download the rapiduploader and create a collectors account (as Humlan and Monkey D. Ruffy told you). The rapid uploader will let you upload any files you want as long as they are not larger than 200 mb individually.

To make it work: once you upload the files on your rapiduploader go to the "log file" section and search for them. Right click on the files (one by one) and then click on "show below" "all information".

At the bottom of the window copy the "delete link" of the file and paste it on your browser. Then choose "move to collectors account".
Then you'll get a new download link. Use that one to post here.

If you don't do that the file will only last 10 days. I had to reupload a whole thread for not knowing this. Hopefully that won't happen to you.


¡Cheers!

Thanks for the tip about RS uploader. Even with this tool, its taking about 50 mins to upload a 200 MB file. Is that abnormally long? I did a speed test on my connection and got this for uploading, Upload Speed: 3414 kbps (426.8 KB/sec transfer rate).

As you mentioned, it depends on your ISP, your bandwidth speed and if RS is busy at the moment.

If you have a premium account, you should be able to upload with almost your max. speed.

66.67 KB/s (4MB/min; your 200 MB file in 50 min) seems somewhat slow compared to your ISP speed rate.

If you're doing something else (P2P etc). then your upload/dl ration will drop.

You can adjust the settings of the RS manager to upload files during the night (or when you are at work/school/college) and to switch your PC off when finished.
