Verdict : Great Site! Clearly one of the best, almost head to head with Egoshare. Small drawback: no delete link given. A-

You are tired of waiting 80+ minutes between downloads from rapidshare? Shure you are! Here are some tricks to get rid of the waiting time:

1. Use (several) proxys : http://www.tech-recipes.com/(1)
(works, but can be a pain)

2. Get another IP : http://www.tech-recipes.com/(1) and http://www.tech-recipes.com/(2)
(works, but you need to disconnect from the net)

3. Use an anonymous network : http://www.tech-recipes.com/(1)
(works, but chances are dl will be very slow)

4. Get a premium account ;) : http://rapidshare.com
(works, but costs money)

5. Use a better one click file hoster, and convince anybody to do so as well: http://www.egoshare.com
(works, but it’s not very practicable, I know)

Note: The javascript trick to eliminate waiting time before download does no longer work (all the others should).

I just told you that rapidshare is … erm… not the best one click file hoster out there, right?

So here is a chance to make things better:

Rapidshit mirrors your rapidshare files, for free, it downloads them with donated premium accounts! Just replace the rapidshare in the link with rapidshit.
Example:

http://rapidshare.com/files/9106535/something.html becomes
http://rapidshit.com/files/9106535/something.html
and
http://rapidshare.de/files/9106535/something.html becomes
http://rapidshit.de/files/9106535/something.html

There is one downside though: To be mirrored, 4 additional people have to ask for the file first, via the rapidshit link.

(Note : The above links are just examples, not working dl links)

Ok, so here is my new (and first) blog.

From the about page:

This blog is about all the loved and hated free one click file hoster out there. After a review, it will give you a good overview about the strengths and weaknesses of a hoster.

The idea came to my mind because I have been very unnerved by rapidshare’s waiting times, but pleased by it’s speed, so i reviewed some other sites and discovered their good and bad sides.

If you have any ideas for improvements of the ratings, the blog itself, or have had different experiences with a given hoster feel free to comment. This especially includes premium members experiences, which I don’t have (yet).

I hope you will find this information useful.
Regards, NoRapidshare

And just to repeat myself:

If you have any ideas for improvements of the ratings, the blog itself, or have had different experiences with a given hoster feel free to comment. This especially includes premium members experiences, which I don’t have (yet).

Regards, NoRapidshare
