Well so far its been workin ok for me this morning.. Just give this rapidsharesite a click to see if you can access that http://www.rapidshare.net its not an uploader just a rapid search engine or you could do with clearing your internet cookies and cache out..

iv been trying to download some videos but the page never loads. thanks for letting me know i will try some other things

If you can't even load any Rapidshare pages at all then it may be an issue with your ISPs DNS Servers. You could try using Open DNS instead.

I wouldn't advise that you muck around with your internet settings too much if you're not sure how to change your DNS details, but here's a couple of guides:

The Open DNS site used to have a guide on how to set it up, but I can't see one now. You probably have to sign up now to access it (which is free).

thanks for the help skateguy. im gona try a few different things to get it working

i just pay the 6 pound a month and it covers me for all my babevideo needs thankfully, the reason i started paying is because i got fed up of the no slots message which used to happen a lot.

i have been paying 6 pounds a month for the last 3 or 4 months now and yesterday was the first time that i have had a problem.

oh thats interesting, i hope skates advice works, if not try a different browser

Here's a link to ALL ISP DNS Servers http://www.kitz.co.uk/isp/dns.htm

thanks to everyone who helped me out. it seemed to have resolved itself and its now working. strange as i have never had this problem with rapidshare before.

hi guys,
Anyone know if there's a problem with rapidshare at the moment?
Apart from the normal 'no free download slots' outside of 1am to 8am, I'm now finding the links won't even open...
they're either timing out or returning 'server connection' error
Don't think my my pc/broadband problem...I downloaded 8 files from megaupload, depositfiles & hotfiles last night and in same time, could only get one rapidshare link to work (and couldn't download as no slots) - was trying to get 5 Morgan vids from the forum but the rest wouldn't open at all - been trying again for last hour and same problem
Its getting to the stage where I almost want rapidshare to have a fatal crash - don't get me wrong, I'm really grateful to all contributors - but that way they'd have to use a different fileshare service. Rapidshare has deteriorated so badly in last 6 months that its not a usable service anymore.
