    1-) Yes, I would if I had to and have the money. But only rapidshare I think. Because it's the most popular as it seems.
    2-) The main advantage for me, as I have used premium before, is that it maximizes my line with single downloads and you don't have to seed back, specially in my case where my upload stream is very low. Another advantage is that there are many forums and blogs out there offering links to content hosted on RS and they are free to join or public, ie don't need an invite for joining.
    it's hip to be square
    Thanks

    But MU does not give you a "no free slots" message 95% of the time nor limit your download speed, and their maximum file size for free users is 1GB, meaning 700MB rips can be found as single-part uploads.

    1. No I wouldn't pay for RS. Torrents suffice for me. At times, you do find content on RS which you dont have on torrents, but I have my ways out. I wouldn't pay for RS at all.

    2. The only advantage of dl'ing from there would be, maybe, constant speeds. But nowadays, with penetration of broadband everywhere, even on Piratebay, I find torrents, which give me amazing speeds.
    Thanks

    Almost all of the stuff that is available on rapidshare is also available on trackers , but I have noticed that tutorials such as those related to lynda, trainsignal, VTC, total training first appear on rapid-share then on trackers sooner or later , that's why I can wait to get them for free through trackers rather then paying to download them from rapidshare.. however there's a huge amount of reading material such as PDF books that are available exclusively on rapidshare but again due to their small size one may download them as a free user .... I once purchased a RS account merely to download 11.5 GB SAP IDES dvds which were also present on demonoid but I download it from RS as there were no seeders available at demonoid.

    I also hate downloading movies and music from RS as I can found them from else where.

    I have also noticed an increasing trend in sharing files through RS and other similar fileservers links for example forums such as wewantleaks, EOTI (former LUELINKS) and at other similar forums users post RS , mediafire, letitbit, filemachine , megaupload links, this kind of filesharing is I believe brings advantage to the uploader in terms of money or credits and that's why I hate paying for these p2L services.

    FreeRapid download 0.83 does job nicely with auto management of wait time. Now will I pay even if I had money worth it? NO.
    Thanks

    Even with the free service you dont have to seed back. But you have one point and that its much faster with premium.

    You can actually download with Premium, that's another great advantage.

    With the connections and amount of servers Rapidshare currently owns, they'd need to show ads all over the page and that probably wouldn't be enough.
