Its time to change RS to HF/SM.

Which one you like as Rapidshare change its all systems, Hotfile Or Sharingmatrix


Many people are now at HOTFILE AND SHARINGMATRIX!
I see more and more

Rapidshare has become now a real and BIG SCAM!

IMHO - only Hotfile. For this time only Hotfile is most stable.
SHARINGMATRIX is unstable. Sometimes I have to wait 12 hours for download 200 MB file.

The staff is in discussion and testing phase of approving new hosts, when they are approved they will be added to the approved list. They must meet the forum standards to be approved. As of now Sharingmatrix is not in the running because of download speed and wait time for free users. When new host are approved there will be an announcement until then feel free to make your suggestions. Here: https://www.forumophilia.com/topic39040.html

As a result of the recent adjustments to our product and pricing model we have received a lot of feedback from our users. There was also positive response but we want to be honest with you: most answers were negative. With our adjustments we have alienated many users. As a matter of course, that was not our intention. Instead, it is our goal to introduce a system that gives our users more flexibility. However, we are happy about every single user response that we have received as this is the only way we can learn what our users really want. That is the reason why we have fundamentally revised our offer one more time and made it much simpler.


Rapidshare should have left things alone. If it ain't broke....

In addition to the free Premium Accounts, with immediate effect there is only one package for everybody: RapidPro

For 99 Rapids users immediately receive a traffic volume of 30 GB and a storage volume of 10 GB which last for 30 days.

price/ 30 days storage/ 30 days traffic/ 30 days
RapidPro 99 Rapids 10 GB 30 GB


If users need more volume, they can buy extra volume, of course. Each additional 1 GB of storage costs 2 Rapids per 30 days. 5 GB additional traffic volume will be charged with only 14 Rapids.

Additional storage: Additional traffic:
1 GB = 2 Rapids/month 5 GB = 14 Rapids


Unused traffic volume does not expire.

Had a look at what the newest "improvement" entails? So, instead of being able to choose I'm now in the professional league forking out 99 rapids per day. So, instead of my account being paid until september, I'm out of rapids in august.

I can't imagine that most commentaries will be all that positive with that new system.

Correct.
You haven't paid 99 Rapids so far, only the usual 4 Rapids for RapidSmall (or the necessary amount for your package).
So RS decided, to change the system (again) and now you have to pay 99 Rapids/30 days.

not sure if anyone has noticed. But what has happened to all the rapidshare points that we collected, free and premium points. They seem to have been taken away, with the option to convert your points to Rapids.
So all we are left with is the number that is in the Rapids. So we can't use add up onto the rapids when they go low, they want us to buy new rapids.

Sure, was announced earlier in the RS news:

Reward programme: RapidPoints and RapidDonations to be discontinued (June 18, 2010)

As of July 1, 2010 RapidShare's RapidPoints programme will be discontinued. This decision by the company is a reaction to claims that the reward programme rewards the uploading of contents that are protected by copyright.
We feel it is necessary to undertake this step as we do not wish RapidShare's users to be exposed to such an unjustified general suspicion. Our primary objective remains to provide users with a fast, secure and reliable service.

What will the changes mean for our users?
First, nobody will lose any points that have already been accumulated. You can redeem them until July 6, 2010. Please also note that within the next days we will offer you an opportunity to convert a Collector's account into a free Premium account and to transfer your points into this Premium account.

Yes, the new one (as now, maybe they change it again Wink) is better.
Unused traffic volume does not expire and you can buy more traffic, if you need it (no need to upgrade to another package).

1,000 Rapids = 9.95 EUR = round about 10 months RapidPro (99 Rapids/30 days) = 300 GB traffic volume

Use it only during "Happy Hour" and you'll get 3 TB traffic volume.

I noticed that from when there were these changes on the RS, the supply of files on our forum has fallen. Some relevant posters are missing...
Now I know how to upload my files, but RS must restore the system with Rapid Points (or something similar), otherwise there isn't the convenience ... for everyone!!!! Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

Moved these posts to the ONLY rapidshare discussion thread on the forum.
