Re: Why are we still using Rapidshare and Megaupload?
 

Am I the only one that is annoyed by jumping through the hoops for downloads from rapidshare and the like?

Re: Why are we still using Rapidshare and Megaupload?
 

I use Firefox with greasemonkey so I just click the link and it does everything for me and I wait 5 minutes for it to download.

Re: Why are we still using Rapidshare and Megaupload?
 

Care to elaborate? Cause the term greasemonkey covers a broad range of tweaks.

Then I always check back since they update them when the site changes.

My response to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586198

I agree. It is absurd to me that anyone is using Rapidshare. It is the worst download service ever. Megaupload is only marginally better. There are a LOT of much better, free, sites for sharing and your setup looks to be the best. However, unfortunately, most people are not able to change nor acknowledge things that are better than what they have, so I doubt this will ever catch on. Sad...

Check out the SkipScreen plugin for Firefox, best plugin I've ever installed after Adblock plus. And Megaupload is not really bad at all, 25-45 second wait and my downloads usually range 700k-1200kbps, it works in Opera Mobile and it's free for both users and uploaders, what's better than free?

Also I really don't know anyone who downloads a rom directly to their storage card on their PPC most people just download it on their computers don't they?

I just use FreeRapid. Especially for multiple links.
