^ I don't have credit card or a Paypal account. How can I pay?

Find an online dealer & make an online fund transfer via Debit card. Just before anyone says it sucks, try the premium a/c.

I dun think w/o RS, I would have got COD 5 in 1 hour.

RS rocks.

(PS-I use a free account)

 

[SunnyChahal]

1 hour? What's your connection? 8Mbps?

 

[amol48]

lol... someone dug out this almost a year old thread and you guys are 'really' debating on it

 

[comp@ddict]

4 months actually.

Well, I had 2MBPS, which gave me a peak of 275KBPS, and a consistent 267KBPS throughout.

 

[Strika]

how can u get 275 kbps download on a 2 mbps connection?

 

[SunnyChahal]

Still man you can download 1GB at max! How the hell did you download CoD5 in one freakin' hour?

@Strika,Even I get 160kBps on my 1Mbps connection

 

[Strika]

max he can download will b less than 1 gb actually. theoretically he couldnt have downloaded cod5 in an hour.

Well for me torrents are better as i have my own torrent download server . Just give any link , server will download at maximum speed (100 mbps) and will make the file available through http hotlink or ftp . So torrents are like direct downloads for me.

 

[SunnyChahal]

Madness!

 

[Strika]

absolutely!

Rapidshare used to b great for me as i used to get d/l speeds of over 1 MBPS with premium acc. but now the fckin college administration has blocked RS.
Torrent has always been blocked anyways.
as of now, onion network rules for me

 

[comp@ddict]

Okay okay, it took a little more than an hour, I exxagerated, btw u must be wondering how i downloaded one aftr the other.

Well, there were some 23 parts, it took 10 minutes form every 200MB I downloaded(2 files simultaneous).

I had a dynamic IP, so just had to disconnect and reconnect, took about 30 seconds, and then I can download immediately from RS again. Walla!~

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

^Can you simply mention your internet connection speed?

 

[comp@ddict]

I had AIRTEL 2MBPS plan with 8GB limit.

Now, in about 2 days, I shud get my 512KBPS Unlimited Plan.

host your own server and get torrent downloads just like me via http or ftp with your net connection speed max .

Wait let me get this straight? You have (or had) a 2 megs line & downloaded a 200MB file in 10 minutes? Is that what you're saying?

Dude I have a 2 megs line myself. The max I can throttle to is 243KBps download speed. That means a 100MB file gets downloaded in 10 minutes. How on earth did you download 200MB in 10 minutes?
