Rapidshare is dead... Let's switch!


Recommended Posts

A while ago rapidshare.de stopped users from uploading their own files for hosting. From january six you won't be able to upload anything anymore if you don't have a Rapidshare premium account.

If you used rapidshare.de you will probably use www.rapidshare.com. You can also use the provider i talk about below.

One of the best is www.fileho.com!

File-Ho! offers an unlimited-download service without server-side limited speeds. You can upload files of an unlimited size and you can download as much as you want.

Lots of users used rapidshare, because it's ease of use, and especially because it was very very fast.

The speed of File-Ho! isn't that fast as rapidshare's, but there's a simple solution for that:

Many were irritated by the fact that rapidshare didn't allow you to use DownloadManagers. File-Ho! does allow them! This means that you can download files with almost your maximum connection speed.

UPDATE: It seems that rapidshare.com is working, but on

www.rapidshare.de this text is placed:

Unfortunately all drives of RapidShare.de are full right now. In the future, RapidShare.de's direction will point even more to conventional webhosting. This means that uploads will be possible again very soon, but only premium users with a paid account will be able to upload their files. Due to this changes, the premium-points feature has been cancelled completely. We have applied an account extension to every customer with collected points. We have also given thoughts to premium customers with less than 10000 points. Accounts with 5000 points for example have been extended for 15 days.

Uploads will be possible again for our customers on 6.1.2007 approximately.

Since they are both managed by rapidshare.de i guess the same will be happening to rapidshare.com very shortly.

No, i do not work for any of those companies (i'm 14 years old you know...)

YouSendIt and xdrive are both good alternatives, but none of them offers you unlimited upload, one-year before deletion and unlimited download.

Anyway, i'm just giving a suggestion you know, you can use any of them but i just said that fileho is one of the best for big files and download managers.

http://www.rapidshare.com/ works just fine.

As for rapidshare.de,

Uploads will be possible again for our customers on 6.1.2007 approximately.

I found a great one earlier...its Div Share just love the fact its unlimited files and unlimited uploading...Rapidshare going well its been a long time coming imo :)

Do you know if there are wait times or a download limit on that? I can't find any info.

Anyone know if Rapidshare are still giving away free premium accounts?

Nope.

Nope.

I'm not sure I only just found it today so havent tested it for files yet....I uploaded a picture and I didnt have to wait for that :)

Here I collected a few quality free file hosting services:

If you know any other *good* (this means they don't delete your files in 7 days and the speed is good, and not ads overloaded ), please feel free to drop a message :yes:

GigaSize is basically dead too :whistle:

    • yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53
    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
