-Rapidshare.com FAQ

I keep getting this when I try and download a file
"FORBIDDEN TO BE SHARED" or file not found.


Image
or
Image

This means that the file has been deleted from rapidshare due to someone reporting the file as "illegal" or no one has downloaded the file within 90 days, so you can not download the file.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a slow upload/download speed what can I do?

Rapidshare's networks are far from being full. Especially the upload servers. If you have a slow upload/download speed, try choosing a different network-path for uploading/downloading your files.

Image

If all paths are slow, the only thing you can do is to call your ISP and complain, or try later on normally the morning is the best time for good speeds, But it can depend on your location and time zone.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are Premium-Points?

Image

Each time a Free Users downloads your files, you gain points. You get a RapidPoint for each download, provided that the file is bigger than 5 mb and the user has not generated more than 3 RapidPoints in the last hour.

Premium users can also generate for you up to 255 points per day.

You can convert your collected points to create a premium account or extend your premium account. (10,000 Points = 30 Days)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I use download-accelerators?

Only Premium users can use download-accelerators.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I resume broken downloads?

Yes, but only if you own a Premium-account. With a Premium-account, your requests are sent through more complex server-routines, which also support download-accelerators. Those programs support resume of broken files and even segmented downloads. This means, you can download the same file with many streams, resulting in higher download-speed.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How much may I download as a free user?

No real limit, but the maximum download speed for free‐users is 500 kilobit per second and you may only download 1 file at a time.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it ok to upload warez?

Image

Yes, as you can see a lot of "warez" is hosted on rapidshare, but if the files get reported it will get deleted.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I uploaded a file and now its been deleted, but I cant re-upload it?


Image

The reason for this is that rapidshare has "black listed" that file. They have blocked the MD5 of the file ("File hash") the File Name and the file size.

The best way to re-upload the file is to put it into a new .rar or .zip file and re-name it something else.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How long are files hosted for?

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. Does not affect premium users.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I browse for files?

No. Not everyone wants his files to be seen by everyone. In order to protect privacy, its absolutely impossible to get files, which URL's you do not know.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is a Premium-account?

A Premium-account is where you are able to download much more then a FREE user, and have more options such as using download managers and remote uploading.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How much can I download using a Premium-account?

A premium account enables you to download 2.66 Gigabyte per day, that’s 2.660.000.000 byte. The volume not used is automatically transferred to the following day, up to a maximum of 10 gigabyte. If the complete download capacity is used up during one day, the premium-user is able to save another 2.66 gigabyte the following day.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to have more download bandwidth added to my account, but how can I?

Whenever you have reached the maximum download volume of your premium account, you can now convert your RapidPoints to additional download traffic. Every point is worth 15 megabyte. The maximum amount of traffic which can be added to your account is displayed in your premium zone.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need a Premium-account how can I get one for free?

Well I bet hardly any one would just give you one, the best way is to upload loads of good files using a Collectors account and spread the links around, get 10,000 points for a 30 Day Premium-account.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why do some sites offer free rapidshare Premium-accounts?

Most of these sites are fraud sites and just want to scam you, the best option is not to trust them at all.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I gave my friend a Premium link but it does not work?

Rapidshare has changed the way Premium users download, you must have a Premium account to download Premium links.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it just me or is Rapidshare down?

Rapidshare is very rarely offline the problem is most likely to be your connection.

***UK Users With this Problem***

From Rapidshare Support

The reason for this is a bandwith problem between some internet providers and
our provider (Level 3). Actually RapidShare.com can't be the only website
that's affected, but maybe it's the best-known one so most customers of those
providers notice the problem when trying to access RapidShare.com.

We assume this is the reason why you have problems accessing our website.
Since in that case we can't do anything on our side to solve the problem,
please write to your internet provider, describing the problems that you have
when accessing RapidShare.com. Our IP address is 80.231.41.165 (this
information might be useful for your provider).

We'd like to point out that we're not blocking any users from our website, nor
is your internet provider blocking RapidShare. It's just a lack of resources
on the way between your provider and our website.

I have seen a rapidshare Premium account on eBay for sale, should I buy it?

Image

Well If the seller has good + Feedback and nothing looks suspicious, then It should be a good deal but make sure you read the Terms of the seller because some sellers will say you can not change the password and that the account is shared by 10+ people, So it will not be worth while.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My account has been stolen how do I get it back?

If you are the genuine owner of the account and it has been stolen or someone has changed your password, the best option is to email rapidshare with your original account name, password & email address along with your Paypal order I.D and inform them of the situation.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would a rapidshare.com premium account work on rapidshare.de?

Absolutely not they are two different sites.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forgot your premium-password?

To recover your password go here.

Code:
https://ssl.rapidshare.com/forgotpw.html


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Server has a broken drive?

or
Image

This means what it says lol, just wait a few hours and you will be able to download the file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I transfer Premium-Points to another account?

No you can't.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

File Blocked?

If you get this message

Image

It means what it says, you can not download the file as it has been blocked.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I share my rapidshare account with a friend?

As it states rapidshares F.A.Q and Terms they do not allow account sharing and any accounts found to be used by more then 1 person will result in it being terminated, so its up to you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How much can I store in my account?

At the moment you can store 500GB.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The premium account XXXXX is already in use with another ip?

If you are sharing an account with another person this is why you are getting this message, rapidshare only allow 1 person to use each account, if you get this message but only yourself is using the account, first change your account password as someone else might have access to it, if it still continues contact rapidshare.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I upload files bigger than 200mb?

Use Rapidshare's download/upload manager, the RapidShare Manager (RSM) makes it easy to upload and allows multiple downloads at the same time. You can resume interrupted uploads and downloads and, as a Premium user, you can store files of up to 2,000 megabytes in size at RapidShare.

Files that are larger than 200 megabytes can be downloaded only by Premium users, unless the owner of the file covers the cost of the download.

    ***General Warning about Phishing/Scams***

    If you see topics/sites/emails stating such things as the following:

    Image

    Ignore them and report them to the appropriate people be that WBB Staff, rapidshare...

    There are NO ways to extend or get a premium account for free (Other than a Collectors Account), the circumstances of using these phishing sites will result in your account being stolen, a good example to easily know that the site is a phishing site is the URL, it will be something like this (rapidshare-extender-life-time.hosting324.be) or (rapidshare.coolwebsite88.com/rs=8487818/movie1.avi) most of the time these people hide there URL's by using link protectors, so watch out.

    As it says on rapidshare:

    NEVER under ANY circumstances enter your login information into any other websites other than rapidshare.com.

    When logging into your rapidshare premium account make sure the URL is:
