Hi all,

Is anyone else having this problem?

I have a premium account with RS and have never had a problem downloading from various locations before (I have a laptop that I use at work, school and home). The day before yesterday I ran CCleaner and defragged my laptop's harddrive with PerfectDisk. Now I am only able to use Rapidshare at work but nowhere else. I can login to my premium account from other locations but I can't download anything! The error I get when I try to download from other locations is:

The premium account XXXXXX is already in use with another ip. It looks like this account is used on different computers at the same time.

Please try again later.

IP: XX.XX.XXX.XXX - YY.YYY.YYY.Y/YY.

I tried clearing my entire internet history via Internet Properties, but it didn't help. My laptop is EXTREMELY protected, so I'm 99.9% sure I haven't been hacked. I've emailed RS support FOUR FRIGGIN' TIMES and haven't received a single response. WTF?

Anyone know what's going on here, or have a solution?

Thanks!

yeah i have the same problem and this is what rapidshare support had to say

it is not a problem to use an account at several computers or with differentIP addresses but you can not download from different IP addresses at the sametime if they are not in the same subnet.

Example:

123.234.77.234 123.234.77.232

-> same IP-Subnet, simultaneously downloads possible.

123.45.67.89 123.45.60.11

-> not the same IP-Subnet, no simultaneously downloads possible.

It is also forbidden to share the account with other persons or to post logindata in forums. With the link "View Logs" in the premium zone you can see how much you havedownloaded on each day and from what IP-address. If there are IP-addresses listed that you do not know, please change yourpassword in the premium zone using the link "settings" and make sure that yourcomputer and email-address are secure so nobody could access yourRapidShare-account.

which means you can only sign up from one place at a time. and make sure you delete the old cookie if you want to sign up from somewhere else.

They did this probably to stop accounts being shared but still it screws up the people who usually log in from different places or has dynamic ip. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I've got the same friggin problem as you guys. I can only download 1 file at a time instead of before when i was able to download 8 files at a time using flashget. I have to clear cookies on my Browser and wait for 15min before i can download my next file. Its getting on my nerves. What to you mean by IP-subnet and all those stuff above i dont get it... rapidshare better fix this ****. How are you guys coping with the problem. i cant live like this forever.

it has something to do with our routers right? or internet connection

I think your first suspicion is correct, it's to stop people from sharing their accounts. I guess RS has the right to do this, but the the method they're using is strictly amatuer hour.

How friggin' hard is it to have your server see the difference between an account being used simultaneously from multiple locations vs. just being used in different locations at different times???

I suggest we all keep emailing our complaints to them so they will fix this crap. I doubt they'll bother otherwise.

Thanks leechers for sending RS into lockdown mode. Well done, ######.

Yes i have a same problem; my IP is dynamic IP; i check in FAQS they said clearly that premium account wont be check for IP but only cookies; and i am using premium account; but still having the same problem. I sent them many letter but recieved none; . They better fix it fast; or people will quit using them. They still waiting now cause some old files till host by rapidshare.

Pot callin kettle black aint it. Its not like there's some kind of share ratio that keeps everyone happy. :rofl:

Excuse me? I PAY for the rapishare service and I DON'T give out my account info to other people. There is no "sharing" of data amongst RS users, like you have in bittorrent; everything is hosted on the RS servers.

In other words, you're comparing apples and oranges.

hello everyone,

i got exactly the same problem with rapidshare, i have a premium account and previously i was downloading multiple files with download manager till thursday . now the same error comes , and with great difficulty only one file can be downloaded. i have tried removing all cookies from wherever i have used rapidshare but still it says the same. even changing the password has no effect . and getting a reply from rapidshare is next to impossible. i am wondering wether it is a problem of transparent proxies from Etisalat that is the culprit. Is it possible that they may have made some changes at their end.

Any suggestions?

Everyone here has the same problem with premium account since the last few week - 1 week in my case - they all sent messages complain to rapidshare; they replied that they tried to fix it - in my case none are replied - . All we can do is switch to another service while waiting and curse them ^_^

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. There are no new features, but Microsoft is officially moving the Experimental Channel to version 26H2. In addition, Microsoft is improving the copy dialog in File Explorer, the Start menu reliability, and fixing virtualization issues. Here is the changelog: [General] With today’s build, Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel will see the versioning updated under Settings > System > About (and winver) to version 26H2. For more information, see the Windows Insiders blog. [File Explorer] We’ve improved the visual consistency and reliability of the Copy dialog in Dark mode, including its launch experience and the expanded progress view. [Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders.

Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.
