Stop Rapidshare.com Restrictions and Provide Fair Usage and Terms/Details

Rapidshare.com is a file hosting service that was launched back in 2006 (variant of original Rapidshare.de)







Rapidshare, is one of the most popular filehosting websites currently avaliable. It is used as a file transfer service for personal files such as vacation pictures and private movies so users can upload their favourite files and share them with friends.







However, over the past months, Rapidshare has been very unfair in terms of it's service.







Such examples include:







1) Free users cannot download a file that contains more than 1 part without waiting for a period of time (usually 1/2 - 1 an hour) despite the filesize of the item they are downloading







2) Do not provide fair terms



- They are claiming to have Unlimited Downloads, however in reality you are allocated 5gb each day. Now this may be a lot but for some it is simply not enough. This was originally truly unlimited but now it's decreased







-- Originally, if you bought a 'Premium' account, the files you uploaded under that account would be kept until the lifetime of your 'Premium' account. However Rapidshare.com just imposed a new restriction meaning if you had over 20gb in your account your items would be pruned (files are no longer kept, as they will delete unused files)







Now, premium users like me did not accept such terms when we bought our accounts. Some of us are long term account holders from the very beginning, and we believe Rapidshare is very unfair for loyal users like me and you.



They know they are a popular file service and are monopolyizing the market.







I believe they should go back to what it was:



1) Give free users decent speed and increase file download usages, such as 500mb per hour or something, instead of the current measly 1-2mb allowance







2) Abolish the recent restriction of the 'XXL' tag that prunes the account holders files if they are past the 20gb mark.







3) Give truly Unlimited downloads. Abolish the 5gb per day mark.











Rapidshare should stop abusing their privilage as a popular filehost, and go back to what it was like before a few months ago. It is now restricted and people are not getting what THEY ORIGINALLY PAID FOR.







Please sign this petition if you believe in any of the points I mentioned. Let's get the same Rapidshare we all fell in love with in the beginning!
