RapidShare will soon be shut down

[Lucky_star]

I have so many DL running from RS. Will have to finish them fast. For me, RapidShare and Megaupload have full speeds after 3.00 AM. Megaupload is better than RS in providing download resumes.

And who says, download slots are always filled for Megaupload? Its just a matter of a Firefox addon

What about the premium users who have gone for lifetime FREE downloading... If it goes down then I guess, the lifetime was perhaps much lesser than everyone expected

media fire is much better...

skydrive has no limits ? Like unlimited upload / downloads ?If it is easy also, then its good.

The good thing about Rapidshare is it is very simple to use and it support unlimited downloads (atleast a huge number of downloads) and their premium rate is pretty cheap.

They are allowing hell lotta files uploading and downloading and they should make it free ? ? Sorry but I do not understand that logic. They are spending a huge resource for the file sharing and how can they afford it keeping it open and free for all ? ?

Will we give free lunch to all people going through the road - every day ? Very similar to that

too much excuse...if this is the reason how come mediafire survive?
and what 7 euro per month is cheap? not in indian currency atleast...thats more than one pay for their broadband connection..
rapidshare are just business minded...from my thoughts.

all this time were you under the impression dat rapidshare is an NGO, which is offering you file hosting service for the upliftment of the poor and downtrodden in Somalia?

see no body is holding a gun to ur head and asking you to use rapidshar's services

u r choosing to use their hosting services out of your own free will

if you r so pissed off with them why use their hosting services

they have their terms and conditions of usage- if you like it then accept it or else dont use it, simple

y crib about it

as many of us told..we are just left with no option when our desired files are in rapidshare and we're just forced to use the service

It's really a good news for me if RS is shutdown since I had always hated it for it's unwanted restrictions.

Shtdown RS as soon as possible !

Loves mediafire/4shared.

eh? what happening here? .. first off Rapidshare was designed as a online storage facility, free upto 100MB for 30 days with limited features where as with Permium account you can have more features. The restrictions are set so that people will not abuse the system. Now copyright infringement .. its done by user and not rapidshare. rapidshare deleted any uploads if they come to know about copyright infringed material. Its same as telling bit torrents are for piracy. bit torrent is a techonology developed to make filesharing easy , where as if users abuse it should the technology be held responsible for that?

 

[ssdivisiongermany1933]

Dont care whether it shut down or not ... it suckz any time

used very less , never for more than 5 Mb file size

 

[RCuber]

bt i do ......... many files which rnt on torrents r uploaded on rs ...... IMO, torrents r quite slow compared 2 rs .... torrents r faster only when u spend months of downloading & uploading ...... its just wait , wait & wait .........

Both are different protocols. it cannot be compared. Bit torrent protocol makes the optimal use of the bandwidth available. In bit torrent protocol the speed depends on number of seeders and leaches and their speed. where as in RS or other HTTP filesharing sites it depends on the hosts' BW.

So many alternatives have already been pointed out. I doubt it will make MUCH of a difference. However a lot of 'good stuff' is uploaded there and the 'good people' chose RS for it stable and reliable servers. It will be a loss certainly ...

LOL

Now internet wil b faster

 

[i_am_crack]

Fine guys.. u people hate it...

Belive me I have a acct in RS... My down speed is not a bit less than 206 average from BSNL connection
I also Have Megaupload Premium acct..Same goes with the speed...

I love using both...Any service offer free has restriction.. we have to go through it as it costs them.. like employing people.. working on files and servers and bandwidth .. Man everything costs..

if you ever had files in RS Acct or MU folders.. you would n't have spoken...

Apart from restriction you still get to have the speed of max from RS... what else do you need for free..a copy of the file delivered to your home..

having a rapidshare or megaupload account to download warez is like tipping the waiter and leaving the [FONT=&quot]Restaurant without paying the bill
