Some Things You Need to Know About Rapidshare
There are various downfalls when it comes to sharing files on Rapidshare.com. Some of these downfalls are;
- User’s inability to access the Search feature: Rapidshare does not give its users the opportunity to search for files and share them with friends. This is because they have a personal sharing feature. To search for a file on Rapidshare.com, you have to rely on third-party search services to be able to find the files you are looking for. Making use of a third-party search service is not advisable because the files are not secured and could be easily intercepted.
- Difficulty downloading a file via Rapidshare.com: Many users complain about the difficulty they experience while downloading a file on Rapidshare.com. Rapidshare wants you to pay for its premium services before you could access certain unique features. Features like downloading a large file, and other annoying things associated with Rapidshare’s website. However before you can download a file, you have to: first of all, get a third party app downloader and you know it is not secured at all.
- Password Protect : Unlike Dropbox, DropSend, wiki send, and so on, Rapidshare does not give its users the feature of protecting their files with a password.

Is Rapidshare Down for you???
Complaining about Rapidshare, the app is not just down for you alone. But for every individual or business enterprise that uses the website. For some time now the website has not been responding to the needs of its users. This has made so many users complain and as such tagged the website a scam.
If Rapidshare.com is down for each of its users, then I don’t think there’s anything any of its users can do. It’s either you relax and wait for the site to re-open or you can try making use of other online file-sharing websites.If what you want to share is very important and has a time limit.
Just last week, someone checked Rapidshare.com website status history and discover that the blue bar UN the status bar which displays the response time of the site has been empty for some time. This means that the service was bad and the site is automatically offline for now.
It would have been better if the bar displayed a little of the blue signal to show that it has not been shut down.
However, there is a high possibility that the website might be unreachable for the moment because of a network problem and probably they are fixing it up for better use for users.
