i think you guys have to also look at rapidshare also.
Their serverload is super high with all the
illegal accounts and
people sharing accounts.
Their serverload is superhigh, of course, it's no 1 filesharing services but it doesn't have anything to do with illegal accounts. Mind to elaborate what
illegal accounts mean? Are you referring to those rm20 non-authorized accounts? Let me get this straight. Rapidshare have points reward that can be converted to new 1 month account and those accounts generated from premium users isn't in control of Rapidshare. Generated accounts can either be given away or sell (whichever the premium account holder wish), if it's
really illegal and causing them to lose billions of potential cash, rapidshare would have terminate the points reward already. Although Rapidshare didn't say in clear text that sharing accounts is allowed, it do say that you can use it as long as it's not downloading from the same IP at the same time, wasn't that allows sharing? Yes!

It like how
piracy is killling music industry. You use their resources with illegal accounts and sharing which doesn't benefit them. It ends they they can't support the surge of demands financially. So, they have to do this to control the user.
What do you think majority of files hosted on Rapidshare are? only 1% (maybe more or less) are legal stuff. Ppl just won't share legal stuff on Rapidshare and expect someone to buy premium accounts to download their files, am I right? The rest of the above statement is utter bullshit, see my 1st reply.

This step will help to
reduce download. People don't just download blindly anymore. Come guys, anyone who download 10gb per day, do you actually get to watch all the movies or games or music?
Why reduce downloads? As the premier filehosting/filesharing services, it should have more downloads, not less, less means ppl will switch to other filehosting/filesharing services.

Also, some of the steps like auto delete files by non-premium users are all indication of rapidshare fighting back to those non-premium users.
That only apply to anonymous uploads. Collector's account (which is
NOT premium) are also not effected. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So,
who is to blame when rapidshare go down?
You think similar thing won't happen to megaupload and others if you continue to buy illegal accounts and share account with friends?
Rapidshare themselves. If being the no 1 filesharing/filehosting services means to limits premium accounts holder usage, then it'll go down straight to the drain. With megaupload, even though they didn't allow account sharing, but you still can generate a premium resumable link(s) for your friends to downloads, it's been going down for years and what's more megaupload offers unlimited downloads, are they down? why can't Rapidshare be the same?

Sadly to say this is what most undeveloped country people's mindset...short vision. Only look at what is in front of them.
I am sure I will get some flame but that's okay. When you GROW-UP, you will know the real world of business.
You think only undeveloped country ppl think like that? All over the world is shitting Rapidshare for the move. Does Rapidshare looks what's behind of them? If yes, they won't do this to their premium users. If they look far beyond, bandwidths will be cheaper (as gigs are available), hdd will be cheaper, so why can't give privileges to premium users more than non-premium? You sure get flames as you're the one that didn't grow up. Grow up kiddo, do you forget the quote "
Customers is always right?"
Now, let's cool down a bit
