    News say that Rapidshare has been shut down just like demonoid, Here is a say from Wikipedia

    As of 19 January 2008 16:00 GMT, Rapidshare's servers appear to be offline. There are rumors that Rapidshare has been shut down by the authorities after a court order, however, court records do not reveal any issued Rapidshare court order as of yet. Rapidshare technician Steven Gircham has commented on this issue - "There are rumors concerning attacks made on the Rapidshare.com servers. There are also rumors that Rapidshare has been shut down by a court order. These rumors are false. We would like to apologize to our users and inform them that no data has been lost. There have been some hardware issues as a result of high bandwidth and server overload. We are doing our very best to resolve the hardware issues, and users should expect uptime by midnight tonight (GMT)"

    :(

    i got a phone call by my frnd just 1 hr back when i was driving. i didnt believed it but now that i have seen it all on dp too, i had to believe all this. this will be a major fall back for rapidshare and all users using this services. all other file hosting sites also needs to take all sort of precautions so as to avoid fate like rapidshare.
