    How well does rapidshare work on college networks? :o

    Might invest next year :)
    Very, very nicely. Using a download manager (idm or fdm) downloading 4 parts simultaneously, the combined speeds of all four parts would be around 4-6MBps (yes bytes :)). Sometimes though it would go as high as 10MBps although it never really stayed that high for long. Only problem is with speeds like that you wouldn't be long eating into the download limit.

    If you couldn't possibly do 25gb a week (like I can't) go splits on a years subscription between 2/3 of ye. €20 a year, handy.

    Keep the college downloading to a minimum or it'll be gone in a second.

    How does rapidshare work?? Does it work like BitComet, Utorrent etc where you use it to download torrents from various torent sites? If not where do you get the files to download on Rapidshare?

    I use torrents a lot so if Rapidshare is as easy to use as that I would buy it.

    No, it works using a direct http connection to their servers at high speeds.

    Questions like that could get you or someone else banned. /banbait

    Easier imo. Though either aren't that hard.

    its not like utorrent or other p2p software.

    what you do is buy an account.
    then you upload your ownfiles. they are kept private.
    if you want to give them to someone to download, then you can. they are stored on a server in germany.
    there are lots of places you can go to get links for stuff you want.
