    Back in the days when NTL temprarily gave 10meg speeds it was with rapidshare that I saw the biggest benefit as it sent down as much as you could possibly handle.

    In college, I can get close to 10MB a second on Rapidshare. :) I don't know what I'm going to do when I graduate. :(

    We all know that rapidshare has illegal and legal uses...much the same as bittorrent, I don't want to see anybody linking to anything they shouldn't be! :)

    imho I don't believe I've ever seen any legal links to rapidshare

    Speeds are rediculously fast, I assume the pings are good as well but I'll check it out for you tomorrow. These mean it should be great for gaming but I haven't tried it, one problem I foresee though is that the college would block all the servers or as many of them as they could find.
    If they do, do this then any one you find that isn't blocked will most likely to be blocked not lon after you start using it (much like how proxies are blocked not long after people start using them).

    Although I presume the college only reviews the most popular sites that are accessed from the network, so as long as a server isn't used by a buttload of pcs and a buttload of people it will probably remain unblocked.

    Another thing would you be using your own computer to play the games or one of the college computers? I've found that when using my laptop I can get access to more sites (eg bebo) than on a college computer. If you use your own I'd say you should get into pretty much any server. :)
