Rapidshare limits volume for premium users; kills anonymous downloading

Goodbye Rapidshare, hello Mediafire.

(Don't you love it? Every time one of these services realizes there isn't much money in being a free host for pirated files to the world, another takes its place!)

Where does it say that they are killing anonymous downloading?

Also, they have always limited the volume for their premium users-- the article actually states that they are changing the limits.

The headline seems to be based on an egregious misreading of the blogpost...

"Files that are stored completely anonymous can now only be downloaded 10 times. Thereafter an error message will appear."

You're right that the title is slightly inaccurate though.

The sound of a million pirates crying out in pain...

rapidshare, zshare, sharebee, how many of these can exist? i mean if rapidshare goes down, just use one of the dozens of others no?

RIP Rapidshare.

The more of these warez/porn hosts that die or weaken the better...
