Most of the file sharing websites such as RapidShare allows you to download as a free user without a premium subscription. The restrictions that you’ll be getting as a free downloader are slower download speed, wait time, download queue, no resume support, no parallel threads, tons of annoying advertisements with fake download buttons, CAPTCHA input, and etc. Recently we’ve seen a few file hosting websites such as RyuShare and Extabit that goes to the extend of allowing the uploader to restrict the uploaded files from free users and only the Premium users can download the files. This means that the free users are practically forced to subscribe a premium account just to download the file if they really want it.
If you urgently need the file downloaded as fast as possible, hold on to the payment because there is a cheaper method to download the file without subscribing to the premium account.
