Hello
I seem to be having a problem downloading from Rapidshare. For some reason, the download will be flying until I've downloaded around 250MB then.... Nothing!
If I wait a couple of hours I can download another 250MB then the same thing happens. While this is going on I can't even access the Rapidshare homepage.
I never had this problem with BT Broadband - I was wondering if Virgin are blocking connections to Rapidshare?
I've had a look at other posts where the suggestions are as follows:
Disable SPI Firewall in the configuration of the Netgear router
Plug your PC directly into your modem and miss out the router altogether
Change your download manager
None of these seemed to work for me but have worked for others so if you are having the same problem give them a try.
One suggestion that I haven't tried was to use the VM Proxy - can anyone shed any light on this?
