I see you Rapidshare...If you don't see people using it as much.....

....here's why in a nutshell.

* No more points for uploaders aka no free premium
* To store more than just a little bit of files, 10GB, costs $$ (rapids)
* To download more than a certain quota, 30GB a month, now costs $$ (rapids)
* For them not to delete files that haven't been downloaded costs $$ (rapids)



Which you could see them gradually going towards this mess. I do understand they are in business but it seems to me that screwing over the ones that made the site what it is wouldn't be a great way to stay in business.
