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:

GigaSize is basically dead too :whistle:

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      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.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
