RapidShare Premium Accounts

For reasons that need not be addressed (though they make me want to strangle someone I know) I've been shoe-horned into using RapidShare to download a series of files.

It's taking forever with the limits they place on the free account. I'm tempted to bite the bullet and purchase a 30-day premium account, if only to mitigate my suffering.

What I want to know is if their account purchasing and registration is on the up and up. I notice their payment is in Euros. Are there any pitfalls, perils, or scams I should be aware of? Or is as simple as they make it sound?

    You can use jDownloader to download it. It won't make it go any faster or remove restrictions, but it automates the process.

    it's legit if you purchase through the Rapidshare site or links listed on the site.

    I've done it and it's as simple as they make it seem.

    I forget if I used paypal or not, but I know the price was automatically converted into USD and I just paid with a debit card. I then setup a user/pass (or they assigned me one, I don't really remember :P), and then after the month was up it just expired. No hassle, no nothing.

    It's totally worth it if you need to do a ton of downloads. But as Echo mentioned there are ways of automating the waits. I know there's a Firefox extension that'll can do that stuff too (I don't know the name off hand, but I know it's one of the most popular Firefox extensions).
