you should all try to type in any keyword+ http://rapidshare in google. When you do this 90% of the time the top 10 places are kept by sites like loadingvault, rsfind, ... How do these sites get such high pagerank while they have no content, and all the links they offer are stolen from other sites?

Those downloading websites just generate a lot of natural links on their own. They also do a very good job of creating some type of dynamic sitemap to get all of those pages indexed.
