Rapidshare limits volume for premium users; kills anonymous downloading (rapidshare.com) 3 points by goldsmith 17y ago ↗ HN
[–] DarkShikari 17y ago ↗ Goodbye Rapidshare, hello Mediafire.(Don't you love it? Every time one of these services realizes there isn't much money in being a free host for pirated files to the world, another takes its place!)
[–] jasonoliver 17y ago ↗ rapidshare, zshare, sharebee, how many of these can exist? i mean if rapidshare goes down, just use one of the dozens of others no?
[–] michael_dorfman 17y ago ↗ Where does it say that they are killing anonymous downloading?Also, they have always limited the volume for their premium users-- the article actually states that they are changing the limits.The headline seems to be based on an egregious misreading of the blogpost... [–] Kejistan 17y ago ↗ "Files that are stored completely anonymous can now only be downloaded 10 times. Thereafter an error message will appear."You're right that the title is slightly inaccurate though.
