Rapidshare info

RapidShare is one of the world’s largest file-hosting sites with millions of files stored on its servers. The site allows any user to upload files of up to 100 MB (at rapidshare.com) and up to 300 MB (at rapidshare.de).

The user is then supplied with a unique download URL which enables anyone, with whom the uploader shares it, to download the file. All files have to be downloaded by following a given URL.

Non-paying users are required to wait, usually two to three minutes, before any download becomes available and CAPTCHA validation is required. Non-paying users are also required to wait one minute for every megabyte of data downloaded before they can download again, up to 105 minutes (105 MB or 100 MiB).

Registration and payment allow 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 50000 MB within a five day period, as a way to prevent account sharing especially using "Rapidleech" sites.
