    2.5gb a day isn't enough?

    Unless you're a subscriber to any of the others, rapidshare remains the best. megaupload is by far the worst. Mediafire is good, but has low limits

    Is this for premium users?? 2.5GB a day should still be plenty. What the hell are you downloading?

    On another note, where do you search for your rapidshare downlaods?

    Imagine only allowing a pittance of 2.5GB for free? What is their problem?

    Here's what I read: I like to use it when I go home to my parents house because I don't like having to pay for broadband myself.

    Get your own broadband ya cheapo!

    3 We support all kinds of connections. If you are using a DSL-8.000 for example, you can save 100 megabyte from rapidshare.com within 100 seconds. A premiumaccount enables you to download 2.66 Gigabyte per day, that’s 2.660.000.000 byte. The volume not used is automatically transferred to the following day, up to a maximum of 10 gigabyte. If the complete download capacity is used up during one day, the premium-user is able to save another 2.66 gigabyte the following day.

    I'd struggle to get over 10GB a day.

    Most games are around 7-8gb max.

    Actually, rapidsearch (which was a real site) has been down for a long time. There do exist a number of sites that index rapidshare links but if you're worried about viruses and whatnot 4chan maintains it's own (admittedly exhaustive) index of files uploaded to various hosting services.

    Which is nice.

    if youre already paying for decent broadband an extra 50 euro per year isnt that bad to get premium access to rapidshare
