Let me start by saying how much I enjoy GayHeaven and how grateful I am for the posters and for the posts. That being said, I am puzzled by the tremendous use of Rapidgator which, from my experience, is at best a mediocre choice.
I will compare my experience as a free user with Rapidgator compared to Keeptoshare and to Filesmonster (which I know is not allowed on this site, but which I have used on other sites).
Rapidgator is much less stable; I have had download failures at least twice as often with Rapidgator than either K2S or FM.
Rapidgator is much slower; the download speeds have on average been approximately 50% those of the other 2, sometimes slower. I believe that is the reason for the download failures -- the speed drops too low and then I get a "couldn't download - Network issue" statement.
There is a limitation or how or when RG can be used. This morning, for example, I started the process and waited approximately 30 seconds before I tried to begin the download. I was told the captcha window had closed. Okay. I waited 2 hours and then was told there needs to be 120 minutes between downloads (remembering that there had been no download). With K2S I have waited a long time before beginning a download and have had no problem. With FM, I may need to wait 45 minutes (I haven't detected a discernible pattern.)
RG has a large wait time between downloads (I already mentioned 120 minutes). FM has a 45-minute window. K2S will allow a 2nd file to be downloaded after the first file has been downloading for 60 minutes; I am able to have 2 files downloading simultaneously.
RG has a limit on the number of downloads during the day. When I have downloaded maybe 3 or 4 files, "you have reached your download limit." FM and K2S offer more.
I appreciate the desire to ask individuals who post K2S to include other options. Why isn't that also the case for RG? I also do not understand why FilesMonster is a problem for GayHeaven. Would someone please let me know.
Again, I am grateful for GayHeaven and very happy to use it. I certainly do recommend it to others.
Thank you.
 
I've been collecting online porn since 1998. I've seen many hosts come and go. Rapidgator has been around for longer than the vast majority, is dedicated, easy to purchase, reliable & if in premium mode, has outstanding DL speeds. I still have a premium sub
and am more than delighted to find this forum uses it.

I can sign this for more than 100%!
 
It is more difficult to buy a rapidgator premium than it was before. I am forced to go by resellers who charge a high extra fee. Before I could buy directly from them but this is no longer possible...
 
It's interesting that when I discuss my experience with Rapidgator as a free service, all the responses are that I should buy something which suggests it does not work well free. Today I got another instance of Rapidgator just stopping a download in the middle; nothing else in my system experienced anything (I was working on my computer at the time), I think it is just how Rapidgator does not work well for the free-user. I wish one of the moderators would tell why they think Rapidgator is so good for the non-premium user.
 
Rapidgator is available for a very low price by buying a debrid package, such as All - Debrid or several others.
Very low is NOT FREE which is what is being discussed here.

RG has changed the Captcha that it uses for FREE downloads so that it can't be used with JDownloader without a paid third-party add-on. This puts tracking cookies on my computer without my permission, if I choose to download direct from their website.

Any FREE DL over 2 gigs fails with the new "improved" (without lemon-fresh Borax ;)) RG (Since 01/01/26 or 26/01/01 outside the USA).

Filemonster has switched back to having you download several segments in order to get a .Zip file instead of one file quickly downloaded.

Not asking for RG to be banned just other services actually usable for FREE downloads.

Enjoy your day :)!

GH allows the following that are great for free users,
Mediafire.com
MegaNZ
pixeldrain.com

There are forums full of filemonster links. May I suggest you go to one of them?

If I am reading this correctly, you are saying that the only ones that you would recommend for free users are mediafire.com, megaNZ, and pixeldrain. Is that correct? And I notice that you still don't answer why GH feels that Rapidgator is such a good one to be used.
That being said, I do still use RG even with all of the problems that it has, primarily because I want to support GH. Most of the other sites I see cater primarily to heterosexual porn; I really like supporting a gay site!
