Rapishare premium do improves our download speed aside from our own internet connection. Premium membership provides bigger bandwidth for us to download a file, thats why we can get faster speed.
I can understand the term "bandwith" in hosting stuff, but I wonder what they mean by bandwidth here. Hope you explain it a bit.
Moreover, I noticed that though my internet connection if of 256 KBPS, usually my download speed is just 1 to 2 kbps and it's taking ages to download these days.
