Hey,

It's more not about whether it is allowed. The CPU usage policy they have. RapidLeech will definently cause a load on their servers.

i am talking about a single person using the script i.e me only and that also not much , maybe like for only 10gb daily unraring ..
 
Unraring could lag the server from how long the unrar runs for. Say it takes a minute to unrar it, the load can go crazy in the minute.
 
^^i know that but since they have great servers it wont take a minute to unrar 700mb .

as for my dual core server , it takes like 10 secs to unrar 1 gb !!
 
Not on a shared server for sure. You might get away with it on reseller, but I doubt it. Even on a vps you might get shut down. They have intense cpu usage rules, but that's what makes their servers so nice and fast. Rapidleech slows down the connection and adds a lot of load, so if they ever see it then your account will be terminated.

Also, if there's one piece of copyright material on there you are done.

btw, 10gb daily is a lot for shared or reseller.
 
^^i wont be raring :p

now what you say ??

p.s :- i am already hosted with smokehost , its other legit sites that i wanna host into companies that wont go down any day ..
 
They don't allow rapidleech officially. You can install it and get away with it, but there's little point in doing that. For one, they have a 30 second script execution time limit. If any of your downloads and/or uploads take longer than 30 seconds, they'll break. The same goes for RAR/UNRAR.

They also have each account limited to certain CPU points/usage. You won't be able to go above that. So, the process of rar/unrar is going to be either horribly slow, or it'll get you banned amazingly quick. Or it'll just plain fail.

Bottomline is, don't go with Hostgator if your only intention is to use RL.
 
hmm , then any other big host on which i can get away with little rapidleech (ofcoures personal use) ..

will be hosting legit sites also there ..

what about justhost ??
