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 was just getting used to the idea of the new system...
Is this really any better?

It seems these idiots were actually surprised to find out people were going to desert them in droves with their horrendously complicated & expensive previous system.
This new package actually seems reasonable value, although the download limit is rather restricted if you don't buy extra traffic, and of course the question is just who will be uploading content now that hosting costs uploaders money?

I'll just have to get used to the 60 day deletion thing again, as I don't think I'll be paying extra for protected file storage.

Two points:
First, I don't think they got any unfriendly messages at all. They do not have a direct feedback, and I don't honestly think many people use support@rapidshit to complain. No... I guess they noticed that the upload traffic decreased by about 90%.
Second, the payment scheme wasn't the only thing they changed. The new interface changed a whole load of shit including the counting system and the filenames. The old filenames (even if uploading on the new interface using the 'old uploader' for multiple uploads as the new interface does not have a multiple uploader) have been changed to filename.html
For some browsers (Opera?) this can cause problems when downloading. Using the option 'save as' then deleting or replacing the .html with .rar then downloading should help this problem.
RS should get their shit together, or they will be off the face of the internet within a few months.
hmm.... I wonder how many "non-friendly" messages RS got before they decided to change the system again...
hundreds?... thousands? maybe tens of thousands?

Does it mean, after changing my "old" free- plus premium-rapidpoints that's it I have to pay ?

The main drawback of this new system are not costs of RS premium, could also be acceptable, but why one should pay now when there's nothing to download? 
In fact almost no one is loading files on RS now because there's no more some incentive!!!!!

I see the discussion about RS here and compare it with the discussions I follow in forums within my country and some dozens outside and I see no difference....
slowly, the premium users stops uploading to RS...
my god... the big RapidShare going to make a suicide
and it wont take long...its not pathetic its sad
