RS has weird pricing explanations
I'll say!
Rapidshare limits file size to 500MB unless you get the "RapidPro" option? Or if you buy "Rapids"? But what does a "Rapid" actually buy you? It's unnecessarily confusing!
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

ha!
so, all you need to do is buy the rapids and that will get you the RS acct for however long. I think I've been buying it for 3 months at a time.
As long as you don't have a lot of bandwidth (lots of people downloading your links), you should be good with the $$ = time.
It's for the people who have a lot of people downloading their links that the new currency stuff comes in.
Their pricing explanations used to be worse, believe it or not. In June it was completely opaque as to what a person was paying for.

"However long"? How long is "however long"?
Someone will be uploading one 650MB file per week (although they may upload a few weeks worth at one time). I will then be downloading those same files. How many Rapids do I need to do that?

Aha! I think I found it: 495 Rapids == 30 days of RapidPro.

I don't believe it.

Jon,
is this something you will need to do for years? a year?

That's astounding.
le nube, I probably don't want to commit to more than 6 months to a year.

Thanks for those links, by the way. I'm going to play around with the free version of dropsend.com. If that doesn't meet my needs, both they and transferbigfiles.com have $5/month options that may suffice.
It looks like the free version of megaupload takes about 2 hours to upload one of the typical files I'll be receiving, so that's the benchmark I'm testing against.
