No disrespect, but most people CAN use Rapidshare, and it can only be browser or security settings which stop a small minority from using it. If we all change to another upload site, then the Rapidshare users will complain, or someone will turn up who can't use the other sites. We can't all please everyone all of the time. If you have a problem with Rapidshare, check your browser or firewall settings, or if you are using Internet Explorer, try a different browser, such as Firefox. I believe Zone Alarm firewall can produce problems with some sites.

Zone Alarm isn't a problem I use it, and have always, and Rapidshare has never been a problem.
...unless you are a moron who denies EVERY program which attempts to access the internet permission.
The fact that RapidShare works with most, is indicative of a settings issue with people's PCs, where it doesn't work. It's just a question of finding which setting is blocking it. It's usually a firewall, or browser privacy settings set too high, or cookies not being allowed. I'm afraid It's down to those users to sort out their computers, rather than us uploading mixes to several different sites. I do know a bit about PCs, so I will try to help wherever I can if people are having problems with RapidShare, but I'm not going to change to one of the other sites, having paid for RapidShare. As I said above, my first suggestion would be to change from Internet Explorer to Firefox.
Everyone I have spoken to about Rapidshare not working for them is on NTL. I'm not saying it's that for sure... but a possiblity maybe?
NTL ruin everything! Psh and they just took over Virgin Mobile, so I bet prices will go up.
I can't see why NTL would pick on one site to make unavailable, when others such as Megaupload work OK, but it's possible, I suppose. Do they have special privacy settings, or some sort of net nanny? Never used them myself.
