rapidshare is down

As of 19 January 2008 16:00 GMT, Rapidshare's servers appear to be offline. There are rumors that Rapidshare has been shut down by the authorities after a court order, however, court records do not reveal any issued Rapidshare court order as of yet. Rapidshare technician Steven Gircham has commented on this issue - "There are rumors concerning attacks made on the Rapidshare.com servers. There are also rumors that Rapidshare has been shut down by a court order. These rumors are false. We would like to apologize to our users and inform them that no data has been lost. There have been some hardware issues as a result of high bandwidth and server overload. We are doing our very best to resolve the hardware issues, and users should expect uptime by midnight tonight (GMT)"

Seems to be an hardware prob, due to heavy bandwidth use.

Been reading on several forums it's down, but to me it seems like it's just a hoax.

Let's hope so, anyways....

its clear no one has a clue whats going on

doesnt look good

If the problem is with the name servers, it will take 24 to 48 hours to propagate to the dns servers worldwide

Right now I'm trying to copy/paste this entire list:

http://maghia.free.fr/hosts.txt

Into:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

This way you can bypass the DNSsers, so it seems.

Rapidshare.de still works, so it's only a rapidshare.com server problem.
No worries.

Well this sucks. I was lookin' to get my jack session started.... Er um I mean download started.
