Rapidshare is experiencing a sudden spike in the number of users and also the free rapidshare premium accounts which are doing the rounds these days have affected it. Users get free rapidshare premium accounts for 1 or 2 days. And this is why probably Rapidshare has reduced the download limit for premium users.

Premium users used to get a free 10 GB download limit before which has been now reduced 4 GB download limit. In the mean time, Rapidshare promises to increase the number of servers to meet the demands of the growing user database.

The change in the download limit has gone unnoticed by many whereas for power users, this may take a toll.
