man I had the most amazing time with Rapidshare during the 2007~2009 era. I remember being in an all you can eat candy store. Same with megaupload. Stuff you couldn't find anywhere were popping up, old vintage rare tv shows, games, magazines. The monetary incentive provided an explosion of content you couldn't get elsewhere.
I will really miss the golden era of filehosting services.
- dajohnson89 12y agoThere should be a public list of cool stuff on RapidShare. That way, people can sift through all the pr0n/Disney movies and start archiving this stuff in a distributed sense. That way, the artifacts aren't lost forever.
- RayLau135 12y agoThere was load of blog sites which kept posting up new stuff with links back to Rapidshare in the footer, but older page just ended up have dead links as the content got deleted.
- RayLau135 12y agoGoogle used to be able to index Rapidshare so you could just search for files on via Google
- izolate 12y agoWe got a glimpse of what life would be like with free access to culture. I hope to see such a rich community again soon.

- Amezarak 12y agoThe content on trackers drops off sharply with popularity. That was what made file-hosting services special. You could find something only three people cared about in the past year.
- pikachu_is_cool 12y agoThat's why I said Private torrent trackers, and not public torrent trackers.
