The performance problems noticed by some users should be fixed now. We have integrated many new servers and we have got a new 10 Gigabit Port dedicated for german users, which of course means international users will now have more free bandwidth on the other ports. Nevertheless our team already started working on the next major upgrade. In January already we will implement two new 10 Gigabit Ports and 1.6 Petabytes of new storage.

We have just integrated a new port, boosting RapidShare's bandwidth to a total of 110 GBit/s now. This port is dedicated for users of the German Telekom, which means that it is not selectable from the list of mirrors. However, by routing those german users to the new port, more bandwidth will be available to our international users.

We hope that we will be able to provide another 10 Gigabit of Internet bandwidth within next week.Furthermore RapidShare also offers professional webhosting now. You only need a simple premium account to start providing direct downloads to your users. More information can be found in your premium zone.

As every free user should have noticed, we are experimenting once again with the CAPTCHA system. The reason is that RapidShare is popular enough for people to create tools to download from RapidShare as a free user as if they were a premium user. This has a negative impact for our paying premium users, since they expect a fast download. On the other hand we are also experimenting with happy hours again. When our servers have enough spare bandwidth, we will make it easier for free users to download from RapidShare, knowing that this also makes it possible again to automatically download files with those tools. Right now the RapidShare Happy Hours will disable the download tickets and the captchas completely.

By using remote-uploads, we will download the file for you and upload it automatically to RapidShare. In your premium-zone you click on "Remote-Uploads" and add your URLs there. We will then download the file for you and re-upload it in your premium-zone. Normally this will work very fast as we have really big bandwidth here. Imagine you have DSL10000000 at your home.. Thats fast, isn't it? If the server with the file is very slow, our download will be slow as well of course. Please notice that we will automatically abort downloads taking longer than 3 hours.

Yes, thats possible. Just use http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@www.server.com/file.zip and replace LOGIN with your login on that server and PASSWORD with your password there. We will login on that server with that data then. Please do not use your RapidShare-Login, this is wrong! Your login-data is safe with us. After you have finished any remote-upload, you can delete your remote-job from the list. This way you will delete any data about the remote-upload itself, including the login-data you have given.

No limit. Nevertheless even we have to clean up our drives from time to time, so we will delete files that have not been accessed for 90 days or longer. For premium users this rule will only apply if there are more than 20 GB (20.000.000.000 bytes) of data stored in your account.

Sure you can! After your upload, you will get two links. The download-link, which you give to everyone you want, and a delete-link, which you keep for yourself. Just click on the delete-link and your file will be deleted immediately.

Our system checks your IP-address in order to count the downloads. If you are getting this message and you really did not download anything, then you are using a proxy-server, which is used by other people as well. Even if you have no proxy-server set up in your configuration, there are many providers who force a transparent proxy-servers between you and the net. If you do not believe us, go to other pages telling you your IP-address (for example http://www.myipaddress.com.) But what can you do? You have to disable this proxy-server. If you are not able to disable the proxy-server, the only solution IS a Premium-account. Premium-users are recognized by cookies, not by IP-address. Unfortunately we cannot disable our IP-check, else people would download so much that we would have to close down this service completely. I hope you understand our situation in this matter.
