www.Rapidshare.com is a Switzerland based file hosting website and is considered as the number 1 upload site in the whole of Internet. It depends upon where you come from before branding them as the best because as far it goes Rapidshare.com has been largest file hosting company for a long time now!
Rapidshare.com has more than 10 Million GB of data on its servers and has the ability to handle 3 million users at the same time at any given point of the day.
Rapidshare was founded in 2005 by Christian Schmid, who is also the CEO of the company. Rapidshare.de and Rapidshare were the two forms of websites that was operated by Rapidshare until the .de top level domain was shut down permanently.
You do not need to register to upload or download files but it comes with a quite a lot of restrictions. Also you can always register a free account and get into the Rapidshare Login page in order to get better benefits but nothing like Rapidshare pro account which is paid. This contributed to the success of Rapidshare premium accounts service where a person has to pay to lift of a lot of restrictions that are normally there for free users.
Rapidshare Manager 2 is a Rapidshare tool to resume interrupted uploads and downloads with Rapidshare.com and these are some of its features:
- Upload files up to 4GB
- Upload files and folders directly from ‘Windows Explorer’
- Remote upload to mirror data from the internet on RapidShare
- Change and replace files without having to change the URL
- Extensive file management – rename, edit, move or delete files and folders
- Detailed statistics on all files
- Manage any number of accounts
- Send emails with attachments up to 4GB
- Follow email attachments

You can download and install Rapidshare Manager with Windows, Mac, and UNIX.
Rapidshare Link Checker is used to check if a given Rapidshare download link is active and available or not.
Upload2Me is a tool used to integrate Rapidshare with your own website. This is useful if your website visitors want to upload something to Rapidshare right from your website.
People from all over the world use Rapidshare.com to upload legal and mostly copyrighted materials related to Software, Music, Games and movies on it. So the legality and existence of Rapidshare.com is questionable and has been a host debate for a very long time.
It is useful to many people and everybody knows it. It’s like YouTube because Rapidshare can’t control who uploads what. But they do pull out download links if they are notified through a DMCA or a legal complaint.
At the end of the day the Internet as we know it exists because of many reasons. And Rapidshare or YouTube for that matter is a phenomenon that has existed for a long time and has been successful in doing it. All I can say is Internet is a boon and stabilizing it will take a lot of effort. I am sure of all the companies Google has done a great job on the Internet and I wish they will bring in the difference that is needed on the Internet in all possible ways that we can think of, if you know what I mean.
