I'd like to request that you not allow rapidshare to be used for anything which involves downloading more than one file. Rapidshare appears to have recently changed their policies so that you can only download once every 125 minutes (~2 hours ), and as a result is no longer just annoying to use, but downright impractical. I've had no such trouble with megaupload or 4shared (they have limits but not such ridiculous ones). Seeing as all three services are free to upload on, I don't see why anyone would continue to use the worst one available.
Feedback or requests for help with the site.
I disagree with implementing a rule such as this for several reasons. First of all, rapidshare is still one of the most popular filehosts even with their new policy. Second, there are many users who have rapidshare premium accounts including all of the VIPs. Also, its not that you can not download more than once every 125 minutes, the rule is that after you exceed a certain amount of download data you can not download again for the next 125 minutes.

Alright, glad to hear 125 minute thing is temporary, although I've never encountered it before, and I download lots of big files quite frequently. Rapidshare is tolerable without it. I was just worried that i'd be spending 4 hours just to download a 3-part file for the rest of my days.

No you don't, you get to use 5... currently.
You have access to 5 rapidshare.com premium accounts.
Daily bandwidth allowance: 23.50 GB
You get to a text box to enter URLs into, and the file will download using a rapidshare account.
