for me the only benefit that a premium acount brings is if u download a large file and ur connections stuffs up for any reason, u can resume but that can be done with free account.

NO:
- because there's plenty of other ways to get your files.
- because there are ways to get your hands on a premium-accounts without paying .
- because even without premium-account you can use an automated downloadmanager.
- because the things that are found exclusively on RS can be obtained with those downloadmanagers if you have some patience.
I have no problem with them getting money for providing hosting for 'pirated' files. I believe they facilitate the way to obtain free stuff that I normally have to pay for. It's like paying for a seedbox. That can make your live easier while trying to get the things you need on hard to seed trackers. The same goes payservers/usenet/newsgroups.

yes u can resume your current downloading with Rapidshare manager just like we do in IDM ..Really? Can you resume files with a collector's account?
Until today I thought you were screwed if the download stopped or froze forever in the middle... will have a look.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
Anyone using free account is screwed if discon happens, but Ive only had it happen for maybe less than 1% of the time

Oh, but that's something else. Assuming a disconnection does happen, a free account isn't of any help, then...
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
I don't see the problem there? The maximum filesize is 200MB right. So if your download is stopped and you have to restart the download that can't be such a hassle?
I'm currently downloading a 15 GB file (200 MB-parts) with a free RS account using JDownloader.
I've downloaded more than 10 GB in about 48 hours. With a premium account you can only download 25 GB/week so I don't see the problem.
That means I can download about 35 GB a week with a free account. Downloadspeeds are less than premium (+- 100KB/s) but who cares if you are not in a hurry to get your files.

@anon a free account is what I use and I find it is satisfactory for my uses, If I had no choice I still wouldnt buy a premium acc :briggrin:

Rapidshare's privacy policy: RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting
So according that, there should be no identifying logs kept.
I still wouldn't pay them because:
1. They have low monthly limit
2. You can use a free user option, other filehosters, or p2p
