What is Rapidshare.com?
Rapidshare is the largest file hosting website on the internet today, it is used by warez uploaders and ordinary people to distribute their files to anybody around the world instantly. Rapidshare is now considered as one of the largest sites in the world, catering to millions of users every day! The main purpose of Rapidshare is to distribute files online, quickly and easily, all you need to do is go to their website, chose a file from your computer you want to upload and then click upload, it will take a few seconds or minutes depending on how big the file is and once it is completed you will recieve a download link and a delete link, the delete link is for yourself if you want to remove the file from rapidshare servers, but the download link is for the people you want to download your file, it's that easy!
Now that we covered what Rapidshare's main use is to the general public, I will now tell you about another side of Rapidshare, that many people don't know about! One of the main reasons why Rapidshare is so big today is because of file sharing copyrighted material, Rapidshare's servers are loaded with thousands of gigabytes (really really lots of information) of software, games, movies, tv shows, music albums, ebooks, templates and many other downloads that you are probably looking for. The problem is that for most users you don't know where to look to find these downloads that are hidden somewhere on Rapidshare's servers. That is where we come in, our site rapidshare downloads offers the largest rapidshare download index on the internet, we index thousands of files every day for you to find and download. Some of our files include, games, software, movies, and tv shows, all updated every day.
That is a question that comes up a lot from the newbies (sorry!), but a perfectly reasonable question. The only problem with Rapidshare.com is that they have millions of files on their servers but....they don't let you search through them or find the things you want! That is where we step in, we update our database every day with thousands of new rapidshare downloads so you can search through our database and find the download you need, whether it be a game, a new movie, a popular song or anything, chances are we will have it!
To download the rapidshare files, all you need to do is search for what you want on our site with the search box (top right), then you will see the listings on the following page, click on the download that seems right to you, on the next page that comes up, you can scroll down a little and see a box with rapidshare links inside of it, those are the links you need to copy and paste into your browser to download them. Sometimes there are a lot of download links, usually for a high definition movie or a big game, in that case you can use the program that Rapidshare has made to make the process easily, you can download it here.
We never list downloads that contain any bad files such as malware, spyware, adware or other harmful viruses, but it is still a good idea to get some good anti-virus when you are downloading on the internet, because any site can have bad files on it, by accident or from malicious users. To start off, I recommend getting a anti-virus such as Norton or Kaspersky, these anti-virus programs will keep you safe just in case you download a bad file. When you download a file such as software, you should scan it first with your new, shiny anti-virus program. You can scan a file by right clicking on the icon and finding where it says 'Scan with Norton/Kaspersky', once the scan shows that the file is safe you are good to open it.
After you downloaded your file(s) and scanned them for viruses (software only) you can now proceed to open it. Depending on the type of file you downloaded, you may need a special tool to open it, this tool is one of the most used programs on computers today it is called Winrar. Winrar can open up just about every single file that you download from warez sites! Once you download and install Winrar you will be able to open up .Zip, .Rar, .iso, files and lots more. Winrar is a tool that you must get if you plan on downloading lots of rapidshare files!
