Does a premium account help you to download at a higher speed?

[Jesse]

Just curious if it gives you a higher speed at all when you download like normal to your computer.

Edit: I know it will not boost your internet speed. They say it will allow you to download at full speeds you're capable of. I'm assuming for most users it makes no difference though.

well it just gives you speed of your internet i.e. suppose if you download a file from a server such as sourceforge and it gives you your maximum speed of internet "250.50kb/s" with premium account you'll get same speed without premium they just set a limit of downloading speed thats it

so its worth & not to buy a premium account. but if you want resume capability you'll have to buy a premium account

thats it

Yes, it Boosts, i have Used Rapidshare Premium and My net Capacity was 100KB and it was Like Boosting to 110KB Speed and Even More so it is Increasing Speed Can't say about other filehosts

 

[CyberAff]

yeah it happens sometimes to feel the difference of rapidshare just use it on idm

Premium account not gonna boost your internet download speed ..premium account can help you to resume and give full speed depend on your connection

 

[jooker]

in my opinion its not

 

[Froomple]

only advantage with premium accounts for people with low download speeds - constant speed, resume support.

everyone who said its not giving a boost have 256kbps internet speed i guess

if you have a faster net speed you will know the difference

why i said this is because if you have 256kb net connection your download speed would be maximum 30kbps , and any free filehost allow 30kbps , so even you use premium you get the same speed , if you had a 10mb net connection your download speed would be about 2mbps , then you will know that free download goes around 60-300kbps depending on the hosts , but premium will go until 2mbps aka maximum

edit - lol cyberaff said the same just now read

Premium accs make my downloads x15 faster

[amanda007]

Yes at least no need captura ..

 

[frankie]

I think premium account would boost the download speed up, but it's really depended on timing and where are those hosting servers.

Hello,

it does if you have high speeds like a cable or fiber optics users. If you have terribly slow speeds like dialup or DSL then you won't notice a difference because your ISP already "capping your speeds".

I have a fast line at home and when I download a free FS or FSN link it only goes a max of like 300-500kb/s where as when if I log into FSN it goes about 2-3 MB/s.


Hope that helps.


Best regards,
