I can't tell if RapidShare are good guys or nasty marketers.
Yes, storing and downloading files costs something. On the other hand it
doesn't cost much.
If I go to
http://rapidshare.com/files/452123988/Handbook_of_Time_Code_Formats.pdf
I get a blank page.
If I look at the source, it says:
<script type="text/javascript">location="/#!download|670l32|452123988|Handbo
ok_of_Time_Code_Formats.pdf|26241";</script>
So they are giving a URL that looks like a PDF but is actually a pile of
javascript.
If I go to http://rapidshare.com
it tells me my browser is no longer supported.
I suspect what that really means is that I have javascript and/or cookies
disabled.
Below that, there is a form for creating an account without much of an
explanation of what that is good for and/or what they will do with the info.
(That won't work without javascript.)
For things like this, I generally wait until the file gets copied to a
friendlier web site.
