    Would you pay for rapidshare?

    Hello,

    At this forum section you would see a lot of sites where you can find nearly any file you want. At the end you will feel you need to pay for rapidshare or any other host site. If not you would have restricted download speeds, wait times etc.. some negativites. You would agree with me when the line comes to download an HD show, movie or someting has bigger size. Now i have a two question for you.

    1-) Would you pay for rapidshare or any other host service?
    2-) Do you see any advantages from downloading there instead of other sharing networks like bittorrent or emule ?
    Thanks

    Hey Pickle,

    What do you mean by "this forum section". Do you mean a forum section at SBI or a forum section located at rapidshare?

    If at rapidshare then I would say no to paying, however I do not oppose using my time to view some adds and so paying them.
    dont ban me just spank me
    Thanks

    I'd never pay for RS, cuz they suck! As long as I get high speeds on MU I'm fine!
    Thanks

    Rapid share has an interesting community. It's like random pockets of people with a really intricate networks of blogs and resources to draw from.

    But to me the hosting company itself is just full of out-of-touch marketers. Put up some targeted ad's (READ: NO POPUPS OR PORN), and use that revenue to lower the membership cost. If the price was more reasonable, you'd be much more likely to hook first-time users in to signing up just to download a particular series of large files more quickly.
    Thanks

    1. paying to access to warez? I'll pass... given the facts I have to deal with RS links sometimes and it's exasperating to see the "no free slots available" message I have considered it at times, but in the end didn't deem it necessary.
    2. yes, there are some. Bigger retention, you'll find older files in specialized indexer forums, and get good speeds (with a Premium account) regardless of how old they are.

    1) No. But maybe if i win some cash online
    2) Well there are some stuff you can't get on torrents and even if its available on torrents it won't have many seeders/leechers. So basically your stuck downloading at really slow speed. eg old tv shows, even some new tv shows are actually not available(on freshon.tv) like Magic's Biggest secrets finally revealed, old games like ps1 - even though underground-gamer has a lot of ps1 games there are some games they don't have and some not in the correct format (NTSC/PAL) i need,concert dvd's ... etc
    Thanks

    I voted no.
    I might have voted otherwise if they didn't become such idiots over there at Rapidshare.
    ever since they started slowing down downloads for regular users and give this stupid "all free slots are in use" during most hours of the day thus forcing regular users to PAY, I've started to hate them.

    they used to offer good terms for even the free users but they became greedy and wanted more and more money..
    Thanks

    I would pay as a last resort if there was no bittorrent or usenet or emule or irc or MU. But otherwise I wouldnt pay.
