I've been trying to download something from RapidShare but the
download often fails.

A typical download session starts well ... over 50KB / S.

Then it precipitates. Going down gradually to 40KB/s, 30KB/s, 20KB/s,
9KB/s, 3KB/s, 1KB/s and then it either hang, or stops.

My PC links to the Net via a router, and my thinking is that perhaps,
just perhaps, if I can forward the correct port to the router,
downloading from RapidShare would be smoother.

Now the question is, which port to forward?

Regular downloading from website and from FTP doesn't seem to be a
problem. Only when I try downloading via RapidShare or Megaupload that
the precipitating effects take hold.

Is there a special port that these file-sharing services use? If so,
which port?

Please help !!!

Thank you very much !!!!

OK, and why do you think that this specific miracle might be any more likely
than any other pure miracle?

Those are no file sharing services, but simple HTTP servers for the WWW.
They don't use any specific port.

And due to your obvious lack of networking knowledge, it won't be possible
to diagnose the real cause of the problem (if it actually is one).

So now it's the start of "Kill the Messenger" season?

No, it's just the return of the "think, think again, google it up, and only
ask if you didn't find an answer yet" season.

well, lets give a simple answer to the question

no

Rapidshare limits the speed of free users, just use torrents or be
happy with the speed cap
