Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

Rapidshare is retarded, everyone should use MegaUpload.

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

I mean you don't have to wait forever for downloads, the downloads are faster, and if you register with them (for free) then you can get instant downloads.
Another added bonus is you get like 50GB with them just for being a regular member, I see no reason why anyone should use CRAPidshare

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

And which forum will this gem be moved to?

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

I suggest either "Off Topic" or General PPC Discussion", as it isn't specific to any device, (or even paticularly Windows Mobile).

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

if you have a premium megaupload account ill gladly take it off your hands... i recieved my rapidshare premium for free so id rather use something i dont have to pay for. Rapidshare is much more simple to upload files and handle them IMO, plus there arent annoying popups every time you download something. Megaupload is filled with annoying adds and features you will never use. Rapidshare is more to the point you dont have to wait very long for downloads from it either idk what your talking about. isnt it 45 seconds on megaupload for all file sizes?

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

Or why not use a real file host? You know, one that lets a single user upload multiple files and have their own section? Something like filefront or fileqube comes to mind. That way, if a user wants to see what other files people have, they can just browse your documents. Better yet, why not use Microsoft's new sky drive? 25 gigs of free storage if you have a windows live account (which pretty much everyone here probably does)

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

Yeah, that's what I'm starting to use.
The sky drive that is.
I've actually have a few different ones. :D:D

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

I have one at all three of those. I personally can't stand megaupload or rapidshare.

I like being able to hotlink stuff, but there's really no free way to do that, that I know of. Skydrive is definitely awesome. You know the speeds are top notch since it's Microsoft, and 25 gigs for free allows for a small hard drive backup.

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

Exactly.
That's why I have a few of them,
that way I can backup EVERYTHING. :D:D:D

And then I have one just for my phone stuff. ;)

I really only got a rapid account because I download movies,
not gonna lie,
and I can't download torrents anymore because I've been traced too many times.
hahaha.
I had to sign a contract saying I wouldn't do it anymore,
or no more internet with my company indefinitely.
So that would kinda suck.
So now I just download with rapidshare. haha.
A few other forums I'm on use rapidshare primarily also.

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

That's why you should encrypt the data as it comes downstream. That way, no one knows what it is until it gets to your computer and gets de-encrypted. and torrents are perfectly legal too, so you could definitely fight that.

The only problem with skydrive... since it's Microsoft, placing ROMs for WM on there might not be a good idea...

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

YEp how freaking hard is it for people to read the rules

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

Yea, wow, I just realized this is in the touch pro forum. haha!

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

Didn't know you could encrypt data with torrents and what not.
And its not legal if you're "stealing" movies. haha.
atleast that's how they put it.
Idk, I really don't care.
We're about to get satellite,
which upload sucks,
but I'll be able to download whatever I want pretty quickly.
And won't have to worry about anything.

Very hard.
You know, it takes a while to read them,
versus just hitting the ok or exit button or whatever it is when you're forced to read them.
haaha.

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

I know utorrent allows you to encrypt network traffic while downloading torrents, not sure about other ones. And torrents themselves are legal, I didn't mean downloading movies and what not.

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

Well there is a free service, very much like RS and MU, its called UploadArmy right now they are still on free premium registration.

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

The answer is simple. RS allows free hosting of files up to 200MB. These other sites you gusy are lointing to have limits of 50MB (skydrive, upload army) or 100MB, but may roms are 100MB+. Megaupload freeks out sometimes, and doesn't really upload files right. That's why I use RS.

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

UA shows 101MB (100MB) as the largest file uploadable. Putting that aside, it is always possible to split the files using winrar or even HJSplit (free) into smaller chunks.

So free UA account + free splitting utility (HJ Split) = profit.

If people is able to flash phones and installing apps as well as modification and registry entries, joining and splitting files should be a breeze.

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

Sorry for posting everything in the Touch Pro forums, I just happened to own a Touch Pro and I just noticed that everyone likes to use CRAPidshare for their roms and it's annoying (usually have to wait 90 seconds). Heck I'll even host all the files on my MegaUpload account, I'm not saying MegaUpload is the greatest free file host around but they SURE as heck beat RS. 50GB is a nice free gift (or the Microsoft Skydrive, which I haven't checked out yet, and I've had hotmail for many years even before I recently got into the Windows Mobile scene)

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

Why does everyone use rapidshare? because its "rapidshare" its like the iphone. you gotta have one cuz....its "THE iphone"

Re: Why does everyone use Rapidshare?
 

+1 MegaUpload is awesome!

I see there is no shortage of "Post Police" doing there best to ruin this thread.
