Hey guys,
Since I've formatted (with SP3 installed) and updated windows (additional updates) + web browser versions, I've not been able to download more than 100mb from rapidshare.com at a given time (using flashget, but even in the browser it will do the same thing). I've got a premium account which is why this is annoying.
It will let me download a file, then I wont be able to connect to rapidshare via browsers for about 30 mins, yet I can still ping/tracert it :/
When I try to load it in a browser, it gives me this screenshot in opera
The only things I've changed since the format are the browser versions, updated windows and I'm now on a static IP with a different DNS (not that the latter should make any difference. I also changed the DNS that I connect to in the router). I did also have openSSL installed before I formatted, and I thought it might be that, so I installed it, but that still didn't do anything.
So logically removing options:
It shouldn't be my connection because I can still ping it. (although I have a feeling I'm missing something)
It cant be that BOTH browser updates have added some form of extra encryption verification which has messed something up. Even then, why can I load the website after the 30 mins :/
So that leaves me with windows updates.
I would have thought from the error msg that the website is at fault, yet other people I have talked to don't seem to have a problem. So I'm stumped.
Any ideas?
(oh and I haven't run out of traffic, still got 13gb)
