i have been with freakshare almost 6 months now and i must say that the 1st few months where fantastic but recently they have become so ugly with their ways to squeez users to buy premuim, instead of making up on thier wierd domainname and be more friendly with downloaders they raised the time counter to 200 sec when it was something around 90 sec...and the heavy video ads that no1 likes plus slow download speed that doesn't pass 60kb and i can see in the near future a message for free users that says, "there is no free download for your country right now try again later".. now i can hadrly get a poplar file to be downloaded 10 times when it used to be downloaded almost 100 times and their stupid upload tool doesn't even help and they keep ftp upload for premuim users just to force people who works for them (uploaders) to buy the service, and about they rank let me assure u that u can never pass lite or normal no matter what u do or how many accounts you sell...they're payement methodes aren't stable and everytime u see either paypal payement or moneybookers is gone from the payement page for months before they get it back the only reason i'm sticking with theme right now is because they pay on moneybookers and i'm leaving them as soon as i find an other host that pays 10$ for 1000 on moneybookers..
