What’s Rapishare all about..

If a file is too large to send as an email attachment, just upload it to rapidshare and email the file link to the recipient. Rapidshare also provides a delete link so that you can remove the file from Rapidshare servers once the recipient has download the file to his own computer.

When you download a file from Rapidshare, you will notice a download counter or a waiting limit. This is only for free rapidshare accounts and if you can spare a few Euros and buy a Rapidshare premium account, the download counter is removed. Plus you get unlimited downloads otherwise there’s a restriction on the data that you transfer during a certain period.

Rapidshare will delete files that have not been accessed for 30 days or longer. Rapidshare premium account supports download managers and provide much faster downloads. There are very rare moments when Rapidshare provide free accounts for a week rapidshare.de/cgi-bin/freeaccount.cgi but it is next to impossible to get hold of them as the limit is exhaused very soon.

If you are a heavy user, the best bet would be to buy a Rapidshare Premium Account using either the credit card or PayPal. And other than Rapidshare, the other two popular file sharing services are:

Megaupload - No registration is required. File Size Limit: 250 MB. Your uploaded files will be deleted only after it become unused for 30 days. So, if many of your friends download it, over and over again, the files will always be there. The Megaupload site allows only one download at a time from a IP address. Fixed number of slots are provides based on your country.

YouSendIt - YouSendIt lets you send files up to 1GB. YouSendIt can send files securely (https) and scans files for viruses.When you send a file via the YouSendIt Web site, an e-mail goes to your recipient with a link to your file, which is stored securely on YouSendIt’s server. The file will stay there for seven days or until it is downloaded 25 times, whichever comes first. You only have to enter a To email address; you are not required to enter a From address. You can also enter an optional message. No registration is required. Recommended large file hosting service.
