Fail to send such heavy files like videos or a complete set of photos via emails or messenger? But you wish and need to share something with family, relatives, friends or business partners who are in long distance... Here's a suitable site for you..It's RapidShare! Have you heard about it or used it before?
With RapidShare, you can upload several files up to the maximum of 100 Megabytes and of course it is easy and secure! You can upload any kind of file format... A compressed folder with a set of photos... Videos... Ooh if the video is too big, you can split this video into a few part. I recommend you to use this application, HJSplit to split the video.
HOW TO OPERATE IN RAPIDSHARERapidShare allows any user to upload files of up to 100 MB, then would be supplied with an unique download URL which enables anyone with whom the uploader shares it to download the file. Searching the server for content is not available. So the URL is needed if anyone wants to download.
RapidShare states that they have 240 gigabytes of Internet connectivity and 4.5 petabytes of storage for users. O_O Really a big storage! Guess they have earned a lot from premium users and that's why they have a large server... Hehehe..
For non-paying users are required to wait, depends on how much megabytes of file you were previously download before the next download becomes available and CAPTCHA validation is required. CAPTCHA is displayed as up to warped alphanumeric characters, each with a dog or a cat overlapped them, so the user has to type in the 4 letters with the cat on them.
If you don't wish to wait, you may register and pay for premium account that would provide you some good benefits such as download of several files simultaneously, queue-skipping and the facility to interrupt and re-start downloads. Every premium account is limited to a maximum of 25,000 megabytes within a five day period, as way to prevent account sharing especially using "RapidLeech" sites.
Besides that, RapidShare also activates a "Happy Hour" which consists no CAPTCHA codes and no waiting time if the servers have enough bandwidth to spare. The "Happy Hour" are not often available for whole day but only available at certain time.
By 3rd June 2008, RapidShare have launched a newly designed website with a better layout plus a new logo and favicon as RapidShare has promised to update its site to 'Improve the site and usability'. RapidShare also has doubled the download volume for premium users that they can now download 50 gigabytes within 5 days instead of 25 gigabytes!
I never upload files to RapidShare before but I sometimes download files from this RapidShare. Hmm, it is a good site indeed and much useful for people who wants to share some files with people in far distance there.. Hey guys, why not trying this site? I think it's really a worth of trying this!
