Rapidshare

Rapidshare sure is ****ty. However, there's not so many sites where you can upload and download for free, not to mention with a steady reasonably high bandwith. I, though my mods are on rapidshare, find it utterly annoying to wait 24 hours when you reach this download limit per day.

Here's what i suggest: Instead of shouting and yelling, spare your energy to go on the web and find whatever new or better websites exists that has the same purpose as rapidshare whilst having less limitations... This would spare the modders valuable time. Time they could use to create more ACTUALLY FREE (yes, they are

) mods that allows you to play a far better SH4.

I find it utterly rude to accuse us, modders, to make money without any proofs while, on the contrary, we devotes lots of our time to give players a much better experience of their games, this, for free.

Now i understand you go crazy over rapidshare! but that's no way to talk to people...

I didn't accuse anyone! I was just wondering if rapidshare SHARE any of it's profits that it make off of other people property!

If I use the same IP address I will be cut off from DL an have to pay to continue. Never ounce was I given a notice that I have to wait, I just change my IP address an DL..... I'm on modem an don't have a fixed IP address like you cable users, I just hangup an redail an I get as new IP address.

Or you can have windows do it for you easily enough as well.

but, even with all it's faults, FileFront has RapidShare beat all to H E double hickey sticks. I don't see any advantage to RapidShare at all. I don't know if there is any difference in dl speed on larger files, but the inconvenience of waiting for up to 24 hours (or getting a new ip address) and having to enter a code to download if you don't pay for the free service seems like it would eat up any bandwidth differences. Just my $0.02.
