Is rapidshare.com down?

MikeHunt79 · 19 Jan 2008 at 17:44

For some reason I'm getting "page not found"....

Is it just me or is it like this for everyone?

There is .com and .de :confused:

Yep, .de is fine, but .com is down.

Most annoying, as I have a mix on there I want to send to someone... I guess I'll have to wait 'till it starts working again.

That sucks, thats why all my downloads failed!!

Muffin` · 19 Jan 2008 at 18:04

.de was the original, moved to .com when they got big - sperate networks iirc. I'm waiting for it to come back up too >_>

It does go dodgy sometimes, it'll be back up.

Cybermyk · 19 Jan 2008 at 18:15

They're probably just deleting all the porn, should be back up next year.

MikeHunt79 · 19 Jan 2008 at 18:31

Hmm, according to wikipedia, it's been down since 4pm today.

No sign if it's going to be back again either. :/

down for me

People pay for rapidshare, when they can use bittorrent or one of a million other websites for free?

CBA reading, but it better not be closed down, what will we do.

Owell megauploads will get a lot of members anyway

I guess so... I went on to megaupload. It is annoying as it takes the best part of an hour to upload 95mb (again!)... Still, it's uploading now... I'll just have to wait. :/

Maybe rapidshare finally received a bill for their bandwidth? :eek:

Use bittorent?

Here is a quote from the Wikipedia discussion page:

Rapidshare technician Steven Gircham has commented on this issue - "There are rumors concerning attacks made on the Rapidshare.com servers. There are also rumors that Rapidshare has been shut down by a court order. These rumors are false. We would like to apologize to our users and inform them that no data has been lost. There have been some hardware issues as a result of high bandwidth and server overload. We are doing our very best to resolve the hardware issues, and users should expect uptime by midnight tonight (GMT)"

Looks like it's going to be a long wait... a tad disappointing ¬_¬

That post made me shudder even thinking about, rapidshare is so much better.
