NOT a "complaint", NOT "instructions" -- Only observation.
As a "free" user, Rapidgator is the WORST possible file host, in particular for anyone posting up a lot of *small* files (i.e., individual magazine releases).
They have far and away THE worst attitude towards free users of all of the filehosts. They only allow 2-4 total downloads a DAY, no MATTER how large they are (most sites use a cycle delay and/or a total volume limit, not a straight-up count, much less such a LOW count).
This means that, with oh so many people using RG, there's literally a sharp limit on how many items one can download. If there are 5 people using RG, and each one posts 5-10 items, I am going to betting at most four of the five uploaders, and more likely only 2-3 of them -- and far less than all their stuff.
This means that people who use only RG **lose out** of a lot of potential free downloads, regardless of how much RG pays out per D/L.

So even if RG pays you 2x what anyone else pays you, if I only download ONE of your posts instead of 7 or 8 of your posts, you get LESS from your effort from me than you would if you used a "better", more generous host.
At the very least, I would suggest a second filehost might be considered as an alternative to RG.
Again -- not complaining. You do what you do and you're the only person who should have any say in terms of what you do and why. I'm just offering an **observation** that I believe that RG -costs- you more than they are paying you back, by their excessive limitations on free users.
I could name a dozen less common file hosts that you'd probably get less from per D/L, but make it up on increased D/Ls by the lack of those limits.
Either way, thanks for your efforts, I appreciate them even if I can't take full advantage of them.
