I now hate rappidshare

rapidshare is endding its points system, July 1st is when points accumilation ends and you have to redeem by July 6th.

Right now my account is good till Jan 2011, and I cannot extend any futher.

That means I will lose 22,400 free & 33,405 Premium points.

Im still sc**** my jaw off the floor.

I have a rapidshare prem acc too and this is disgusting. Its bad enough they tried to stop us using JUST free pts to top our accs up despite helping them get tons of dls through uploading and posting, now this...

Im seriously tempted to just walk away , wash my hands and head on over to MU rather than give them another penny.

All I can say is huh?

New product and pricing models make RapidShare as flexible and low priced as never before

June 25, 2010
As of June 29, 2010, RapidShare is changing its product and payment models. In future, the costs for RapidShare accounts will no longer be tiered according to time period; instead there will be five packages with differing features. These packages will be paid for with a new currency known as "Rapids". In order to grant our customers maximum flexibility when choosing the type of package, they will be able to switch between packages on a daily basis and hence select the features that suit them best at the time.
All previous Collector's accounts will be automatically converted into free Premium accounts on July 1, 2010, thus making it still possible to use the RapidShare service without charge.

What is actually changing: pricing model
RapidShare is launching a new currency: Rapids. This will allow users to take up various packages from June 29, 2010.
Rapids can be acquired in the following increments:

Prepaid funds
400 Rapids € 4,99
1.000 Rapids € 9,95
2.000 Rapids € 19,90
5.000 Rapids € 49,75
20.000 Rapids € 199,00

Many users will already have Rapids in their accounts from the start as both the remaining days in existing Premium accounts and unused traffic share will be converted automatically into Rapids. For each remaining day, the user will be credited with 20 Rapids. For example, if there are 10 days left in a Premium account, the user will receive 200 Rapids. Each GB of traffic share will be converted into 5 Rapids.
Any accumulated Free- and Premium-RapidPoints can also be converted into Rapids until July 6, 2010. Altogether, 5,000 Free-RapidPoints and 5,000 Premium-RapidPoints equate to 600 Rapids; 50,000 Free-RapidPoints and 50,000 Premium-RapidPoints will give 6,000 Rapids.
A maximum of 50,000 Rapids can be obtained by converting existing RapidPoints, traffic share or the remaining time on a Premium account.

What is actually changing: product model
These modifications will not change anything for Free Users. Owners of previous Collector's accounts will receive free Premium accounts, enabling them to manage their uploaded files in the Premium Zone. Downloading and storing are just the same as for the previous Collector's account.
Users who have Rapids can choose from five types of fee-paying package. What is special about these packages is that every user can turn the features off and on to suit their needs from day to day. In this way, we hope to offer our customers an even better service and, above all, much more flexibility than before.

Overview of fee-paying packages:
Name Price / day Storage Traffic / day
RapidSmall 4 Rapids 10 GB 1 GB
RapidMedium 20 Rapids 50 GB 5 GB
RapidBig 78 Rapids 200 GB 20 GB
RapidSupersize 229 Rapids 600 GB 60 GB
RapidBusiness 449 Rapids 1200 GB 120 GB

* RapidSmall For the RapidSmall package, users pay 4 Rapids a day. This gives them 10 GB of secured storage and a daily traffic volume of 1 GB. What's more, they can take advantage of file management and direct download features.
* RapidMedium Those who opt for the RapidMedium deal get, in exchange for 20 Rapids a day, 50 GB of secured storage and a daily traffic volume of 5 GB. In addition to file management and direct downloads, users will be able to manage their data in folders.
* RapidBig Holders of RapidBig accounts have access to 200 GB of secured storage and a traffic limit of 20 GB. Along with other RapidMedium features, in this version users will also be able to have their account verified. The RapidBig package costs 78 Rapids a day.
* RapidSupersize With the RapidSupersize account, users receive 600 GB of secured storage and 60 GB of daily traffic in return for 229 Rapids a day. As an added feature, users will have the ability to sell their own files via the Licence Manager.
* RapidBusiness With RapidBusiness, commercial customers benefit from being able to store and grant others access to even greater quantities of data for 449 Rapids a day. In addition to the features of the RapidSupersize deal, customers will have access to Licence Manager+.

Plus, business customers can receive targeted offers on request.
If users load their account with Rapids through payment or by converting RapidPoints, Traffic or remaining time, they will be set up with the smallest package (RapidSmall), with the option to upgrade at any time.
All features of the new model will be explained in further detail on June 29, 2010 on rapidshare.com.

from what I can tell under thier new system I would need to sign up for the "RapidSupersize" account (I have over 364GB of files stored), I have enough points to convert for 29 days, right now my account is valid till Jan 2011.

Go from 6 months to just under 1 month.
then I would have to pay over $60 to keep it alive.

What it really comes down to is if it's worth it for us uploaders to upload to RS. If this is final, (which I doubt), there is no incentive to upload "commercial" files to RS. Down the road we'll have to pay to share?!?!

RS has been pissing us off for ages, but they always seem to get out on top. You can't stop admiring that.
We do usually adjust, don't we?
People talk about moving to something else, but moving because something made me MAD instead of moving to something better has always been a mistake to me.
Still haven't seen anything better.
I get many points a month and loads of files reported but I still reupload and RS don't complain to/about me.
Don't get me wrong, I WANT some proper competition, but we don't have it yet.
I believe they need to clean up their rewards. For a while now, I've converted to annual memberships in absurdum from my points and my upload manager going 24/7 with 2,3,4,5 back-ups of popular files. I knew something had to happen it was just to easy.
I'm sure something in between will be the result, because nobody's gonna pay for sharing.
It's hard to believe RS would leave our market of sharing others commercial files.

Well.. the best I can tell, if you want any of my files, now is the time to grab 'em. I don't have any money to keep my files alive. I never thought I'd say it, but Rapidshare sucks. Nothing like "progress" to complicate the hell out of something.

You need only a RapidMedium, that's pretty much the same as now (with the difference that it's more expensive).
You can host more than 50 GB there as well (yours 364 GB), the 50 GB are secured storage space, which means, it won't be deleted due to inactivity.
If a file isn't dld for 60 days, it will be deleted.

Monkey D. Ruffy

You guys know that I come here for free pron right? I will never pay for Rapidshare. Hopefully, people will start using various file hosts.

hi
that`s it for rapidshare!
the new system is to complicate and also much more expensive for poweruser
but we have a free market and #1 rule in this one-click hosting market is keep it simple = flatrate for 1/3/6/12 months
all other well known companies(mu,filefactory,oron,depositfiles,sharingmatrix,hotfile,uploaded.to) have meanwhile minimum 12gb per day and lower costs.

I knew this was bound to happen, we're not only getting free p0rn for ourselves but also giving away free passes to fellow pervs. What RS doesn't realize is the great service they are providing to young girls all over the world. Free p0rn keeps the pervs from chasing and molesting innocent young girls playing in the streets.

Anyway, the posts in the last 3-4 pages or more of my thread will expire in August 5. My main account is good until October 2011 meaning most of my posts will remain active for a year and a few months, unless nobody downloads them for 60 days. I do not and will not have new posts until the 4th of July weekend, then, take a break again until late August. Work interferes with my p0rn habit big time.

Totally agree
Rapidshit has screwed us all

tried to use my collect points to get a years free account and whatever button I push it states that I cant proceed. Antihacking software etc etc bullshit.

thats again RS for being exactly that
