Moderators DennisD Posted September 28, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2009 There was a very large post made in software today for the K-Lite Mega Kodec Pack, which is a free software package. I was puzzled as to the why, before I realised the why. The download link was Rapidshare, and if a member with a free account racks up enough downloads of an item he has stored on Rapidshare, then he/she will be presented with a Rapidshare Premium Account for no charge. If you guys see any Rapidshare Links for software, report them please, as Corona did with this one, and don't use the download link. The poster and his post have been removed.

ident Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Perhaps ban rapidshare links? No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 To be honest I've never even heard of RapidShare till Dennis just mentioned it now. When I saw that huge honking double-spaced post/advert made by "Newbie" with a total of 1 posts to their history, I kind of suspected something was a tad weird. And what a ploy...use a well known online clean freebie codec pack to get more attention/hits. That's why I stick to filehippo, folks. Thanks for taking out the trash, Dennis!

Moderators Andavari Posted September 29, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 29, 2009 Perhaps ban rapidshare links? I'd say no to that since RapidShare can be used legitimately, it would be like banning cars because someone once drove one while drunk, as an analogy. I use RapidShare for some of the very small files I've posted on here as an alternative to MediaFire and vice versa should one be out of order.

login123 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Is one of the filehosting sites appreciably better than the others, quicker, more dependable, less spammy, etc? The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Icedrake Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I personally like Deposit Files better than RapidShare, MediaFire, MegaUpload etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good view of it. I was more thinking linking files here is not so much welcomed. But learn something new each day. I to also use rapidshare. Guess we can't blame the site for stupid users. Althought they do intend to encourage it No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Such spambots are prevalent in most forums. Just delete the sucker's account and post/s and things will be fine. No need to scrutinize file hosting sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
