I switched from Rapidshare to Hotfile since Rapidshare started applying 5GB per day usage limits and they also handed over account details of users who downloaded certain copyrighted things to authorities a while ago...:eek:

Very happy with Hotfile so far. Lots of HD content etc.
What do you guys use on your new uncapped accounts? :D
Oh yea, how these things work is you sign up for an account. This costs about R70 for 3 months or cheaper for longer periods of time. Now once you have your account you can put the server login details in Flashget and queue downloads. You should get your full bandwidth potential e.g. I download at 400k on my 4mb ADSL. Downloads are in .RAR format because there's a limit to uploadable file size. Check out rslinks.org for an idea of content, but like I said I moved away from rapidshare because of their new caps...
I'll quote wikipedia to give you a better idea of what this is:
RapidShare started in April 2008 with 5.4 petabytes of storage for users.[3] In March 2010 it claimed, after a 120Gbps upgrade, to have 600Gbps of bandwidth. [4]
Registration and payment allow benefits such as unlimited download speed, immediate download (instead of experiencing a waiting period), download of several files simultaneously, queue skipping, the facility to interrupt and re-start downloads, uploading and downloading bigger files up to 2 GB, allowing Free Users to download their files with Premium privileges ("TrafficShare") and to store up to 50 GB of data that cannot expire.
