It looks like Rapidshare has too many clients. This morning I have received a letter saying:
"Premium Accounts whose files use more than 25 GB (25.000.000.000 Bytes) of storage will be subject to the file inactivity regulations, which effectuate the automatic deletion of inactive files. A file is inactive if it has not been downloaded for at least 90 days."
So I just bought a premium Megaupload account and started to transfer all the important files there to save them for the future visitors. Many people were complaining about using RS for our uploads anyway so now all of them can download roms in a manner they prefer. It takes a lot of time, coffee and fags to copy such amount of files from RS to MU but it's going pretty good. I have a mirror of all the Amiga TOSEC sets (noncd sets), and a lot of other TOSEC stuff already. Most of the magazines is available from MU now. I hope to copy all the Daphne mpeg files today.
I don't know yet if we will move from RS to MU permanently and make MU our primary hosting service but I guess it should be clear soon. Obviously I want YOU to tell me what do you think about it.
So please leave a comment!
Thank you.
P.S. And thanks for all the love letters! hehehe.
Update:
All "non cd" TOSEC sets are already on Megaupload.
Update:
All Daphne stuff and some goodsets has been transferred to MU already. The Zinc set has been finally updated.
90 days limit is not the only reason for transferring files to MU. Lately many people is asking for MU mirror. It's not very difficult to perform thanks to MU multifetch feature and some Greasemonkey hack. Obviously I will still maintain RS links.
Update 28.09.2009:
If you are looking for No-Intro sets mirror, or just for a full set, please do not download anything yet. Almost all No-Intro sets (FULL and the latest versions) are on the way to MU and RS right now! Everything will be published in one post very soon!
