rapidshare has been turning into rectums for the past few years, i guess

this rapidshare change can be handled with a program i saw floating around here, that downloads like 1KB of each file from accounts. (i think)

Yeah i got the same email.
They are getting so worse that no one is going to use them.

This policy will definitly hurt people.

Every host has its policies and to say the truth, from an uploader point of view, a file has no use if it is not downloaded in 60 or 90 days. I still have files that are over 2 years old that are still downloaded on a regular basis.

Other hosts like Hotfile may not delete your files, but files that remain inactive for a long time hurt your rating so you have to delete them to keep your rating as high as possible.

that depends...
If you're uploading for cash/points then sure- files not downloaded in two months are useless, but if you are uploading to share with people, then it might be a problem.
