    I have used this before to download stuff, but now I am trying to download a pathology book with 15 parts and rapidshare keeps telling me all download spots are full and blah blah blah...

    Any cheap places to buy a rapidshare account or tips to bypass this BS?

    I have gotten 8 of the files downloaded since yesterday but am now about fed up.

    This is a bit tedious by try resetting your modem after every download, I think it resets your IP Address and gives you the opportunity to download as a first time user.

    Or just pay for the 30 day subscription I think its like 9$

    Doesn't the use of Rapidshare violate copyrights? Are you seriously asking for help in how to use a web site that does that?

    Yea it's kinda like torrenting stuff, violating copyrights and stuff.

    Then again, OP isn't trying to save $20 by downloading movies. A pathology book is easily $300...

    Yep....normally I buy my books but I need this one just to look at a few radiographs.

    I would rather not spend a couple hundred on a book I use once.

    So then why doesn't he just walk into Barnes and Noble or the campus bookstore, sneak a copy under his coat and walk out. Isn't that the same thing?

    No, its not the same thing. Stealing from Barnes and Noble is a loss directly to the bookstore. Downloading it is a theft to the publisher ... but I guess that depends on if the OP is willing to buy the book otherwise.

    uuumm...first: You didn't *pay for* contrib status, you donated to help keep this site alive. The title is just window dressing.

    second: (All noobs please read this part) There is NO PM SYSTEM at this board. Not for anyone. None. Nada. You can email someone thru the board, jsut click on their user name and either choose the choice directly or go to their profile and click the appropriate link.

    Megaupload is so much better than rapidshare for me. I get at least 4x the download speed on megaupload.

    what?

    It is truth and nothing but the truth. If you dont want to hear the truth, dont ask the question/make the comment. I'm not here to make you feel good, Im here to answer questions/help moderate the forum.

    There was no malice in my response....any you read into it is purely of your own making. ----> insert matching rolleyes back atcha.
