I hate rapidshare!

[Kuroi Tenshi]

I also hate rapidshare because of their countdown and 'you need to wait an hour' crap.

I prefer decentralized filesharing. Together filesharers have far more bandwidth and diskspace than rapidshit has. I feel private torrent sites have pretty good retention and so does Share, Perfect Dark and such. And I prefer to torrent gigabytes of files on a NAS box instead of being annoyed to pay to download files without all kinds of imposed limits, the crawling slowness, the endless waiting.

For a single, tiny file, once in a while, it is okay.

But to each their own, if people feel like paying rapidshit money for whatever reason, they are free to do so. I like to think it is a free planet, for now.

There are countries (Asia) where MU won't work at all unless you pay. This forces people to use RS. There are better hosts than RS but it just looks safer. Couple of years ago MU is the only big name when it comes to file sharing, now they are just one of the rest because of many shytty policies. Now everyone uses RS, they even have sale agency in countries you haven't heard of.

Meh, MU's the best without any doubt to a person not living in some euro, asian, etc. country. Pretty much absolutely no restrictions or limitations on downloading and uploading, and happy hour (premium to all users for like 4 hours) early morning.

Can freaking upload 700mb rar's and everyone can dl them at max speed.. Just that they block the ip's, but sadly, it's a good thing in my viewpoint, heh.

RS went absolutely insane with the limitations. Files near the 100 mb limit can take 50 minutes to download, even worse depending on the time.

Also all their advertising "programs" like "get xxxxxxxxxx downloads get premium" has spawned so many people hosting to it while admiting that's why they use it instead of MU or Mediafire (for smaller files)...

To a person living in Mars country?

I too dislike the waiting 15 minutes and the other limitations. But there are those occasional files that you can only find there, so I just learn to deal with it. I agree that MU is a much better way to go, but unfortunately not everyone sees it that way.

[cattz]

Generally it's the people outside of North America who refuse to admit it, and mainly because the best sites block or limit them...

What can you do, if you point out "Yeah, MU block's you, but you can dl max speed, with a limitation so large it's almost non existant, and being able to UL file size's 700mb and below..come on..." they don't want to hear it..

Also have people who upload small mangas/doujins to things other then mediafire like easyshare or uploading which are both as big of a scam/marketing scheme as linkbucks..

But the sad part is that rapidshare is exactly the same as the ones I just mentioned.. It's limitations and "earn points to use for xxxx!" type junk makes it just as ridiculous as the 3 cents per xxx downloads..

i like RS over MU, i rather pay the 25$ fee for all the content i get, i place the links inside the DL manager, let it do it's thing, then come back and enjoy.

but i'm just a practical kind of guy, and if a few bucks saves me time, then hell yeah imma pay for it.
