Using Rapidshare To Host Files On The Internet
RapidShare allows user to send large files quickly, easily, and securely. Members are able to upload files up to 100 MB in size. After uploading a file,
each user is supplied with a unique URL, allowing anyone the user shares it with to download the file.
A click on the browse button on the Rapidshare homepage will start the process of uploading files to Rapidshare. It will open a file browser that can be
used to pick a file on the local computer that should be uploaded. Clicking on the upload button will transfer the selected file to Rapidshare.
The upload might take a while depending on the size of the file and the connection. A new page will eventually show up displaying a link to the file and
a link to delete the file on Rapidshare. Both links are important and should be saved locally.
Your file can now be send to your friends and family simply by pasting the download link in an e-mail. The RapidShare site also offers an e-mail form
that will allow you to send your file.
A general tip is to avoid uploading and downloading files at the same time because when of the processes stops, both stop. Another tip for uploading
large files is to start the process when going to bed or heading to work because of the long amount of time it takes to complete.
Most users that upload files to Rapidshare do it to share the files with other users. There are however some users who upload movies, games or
music to Rapidshare because of the large file size offered by the service.
Some users exploit the large file size limit of Rapidshare by uploading copyrighted files to the file hoster. Rapidshare was already involved in several
law suits because of this behavior.
Rapidshare will automatically and manually delete files that violate copyright laws but the sheer number of uploaded files make the endeavor difficulty.
Users are also bypassing the controls by password protecting or renaming the files before uploading them.
It is usually advised to avoid titles that might hint at copyright violations even if the files are not copyrighted at all. It is also common to upload files
larger than 100 Megabytes as multiple parts by using archivers.
RapidShare provides a useful service and uploading your own files is an step-by-step process. When you become more familiar with the site, you can
begin adding descriptions and graphics to your files as well. However, users of any experience level can benefit from the site.
