sorry serielh, but your quote has zero info-value (4 months old) and may be edited Wink

latest news (but still in RUMOR-stage):
Quote:
The "official" word is that the downtime is said to have been caused by a server overload......

Quote:
....They either got DOS attacked, and are having trouble getting there DNS working or they want it to at least appear that way. At the moment, it would appear that they where NOT taken down by any "anti-piracy orginizations"
Story developing...

Mates, that GEMA-News is one year old, the DDOS is a hoax. There's a problem with the nameservers, that's all. the servers are currently up and running, trust me. i'm to lazy to post a screenie, but just downloaded some stuff from rs.com 5 minutes ago. i just had to edit my host-file. RS will be back, thats just a matter of time.

Yep,that's it. Wink I guess they will be running without a problem tomorrow.

starfucker2,I think there's something really important about that article.
They have to take all illegal files down if they get a note from visitors but its not necessary to control and check every file,simply because it would be too much.Thats what the court says.

if you don't want to wait till tomorrow, you can do as another user suggested here: https://www.forumophilia.com/topic43181.html

for windows users, just copy/paste the text here: http://maghia.free.fr/hosts.txt
in your computer into the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

et voilà, problem solved Wink

Starting sometime today, all of their servers went offline. Their Wiki Page alludes to legal troubles with GEMA. While their main webpage www.rapidshare.de is still up, all download sites are offline. That is really sad since, in my opinion, their service was far superior than any of their competitors.

RS.com is working fine. I had a problem with one server, but was able to download on another one. Now, everything is working fine.
I hope that this was a rumor. Crying or Very sad

Their news page said one of their suppliers had a problem and so they lost a ton of bandwidth. Just didnt seem to have a good disaster recovery plan.

Maybe someone can tell me whats going on with my RS folders...

i just signed into my rs account and found that all but 1 of
my folders has disapeared... the files are still there but folders
are gone?

so now creating new folders... moving files into the new folders and
the files no longer have the name of the folder next to them. they just have a "?" next to them.

anybody know thats up? how that hapened? was my pass word compromised in some sort of way?
