problems downloading using Rapdishare - suspect proxy servers problems - Help.
I got this problem with rapidshare. Ive noticed it been happening since Christmas.
Basically I can normally download from rapidshare as normal but since Xmas I get this message saying your IP 123.456.789 is currently downloading or have downloaded the file please wait 60 mins. The thing is I have not downloaded that file at all. This went on all through Xmas and by new year it was ok again, I could use rapidshare as normal. Now rapidshare giving me the same message. Quote:

I dont get why sometimes Im able to download and sometimes Im not. I suspect that my proxy server is used by other servers and my ISP hides the real proxy server and just gives out this proxy number to everyone on my ISP. But thats just assuming, im not really that sure Props if u can help. |

It is the IP of your ISP. ISP's use Proxy/Cache servers to link networks and speed up surfing.
There are different programs available to change your IP, but generally they will also slow you down and would not be good for downloading. Search the forums and google for proxy server and anonymous surfing. |

I have searched the net for solutions and from what I got it is the fact that my ISP gives me and other servers a transparent proxy-servers. Ie a IP that is used by all the servers.
I have no idea why my ISP is doing this and what benefits it has. I am yet to find a solution to this. getting a new IP wont help simply I can not find a working IP that last longer then 3 hours. |
