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,

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:

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
