    Rapidshare's not working for me on the desktop however, it is working through my mobile phone through the same Sky broadband connection.

    Re: No Rapidshare for Sky users

    I know more and more companies are filtering traffic so save on central pipe space. The more space on your pipe the more connections you can support.

    The company I work for has just installed an SCE which can restrict or even cancel out certain programs such as torrents, kazza, rapidshare etc so maybe sky are starting to cap people.

    Re: No Rapidshare for Sky users

    This can't be so as Sky promise that there are no restrictions on use at all. Plus it would be nice to be informed if something like that was even being considered as three days ago I signed up for another 12 month Rapidshare account to manage my shared photography images.

    Yeah, it's a little odd.. especially as I was able to use it via my mobile over wifi but not on the desktop last night.

    Perhaps it was a DNS issue, and your mobile used different DNS servers

    Are people still having this problem? I've just run into it now. Asked a few of my friends on different connections and the RS links loaded for them fine but not for me. Meh.
