Anyone remember rapidshare ?

[venomx]

Back in the day we used to have to download movies http style. Usually multiple links, but i miss rapidshare because every file would max out my line and it was cheap//

anyone else ?

I do, that is, I remember Rapidshare being a bitch when trying to download files off of it.

I also remember Megeupload being among the better ones when compared to Rapidshare.

EDIT: Sorry, just my opinion.

it was a beautiful time, and warez was very strong.

Warez is strong now too, and easier to obtain at this time.

Direct download file hosts were (and are) spammy and both the site owners and uploaders were shamelessly profiting off piracy. Mega upload was probably the worst example, as they paid uploaders for posting the spam.

[RobertX]

Well, they're not making off my money, but you have a point. SPAM SPAM SPAM!

I have been downloading some videos from direct download sites and releasing them on BitTorrent.

It takes hours to download them from the direct download sites (unless you pay for premium service).  Once I release them on BitTorrent, people can download them in minutes.

Well Matt, that depends on the source.

All the files I get from direct download are easily downloadable, but you might have spend extra time downloading each one. However, it doesn't annoy me since it's all free.
