Oh, trust me, I know that there are loads of alternatives. You've missed the posts where I've made this point clear. The problem is that I don't think to make a note of all the other ones I come across. The only one that I liked was MegaUpload, but that came under even heavier criticism than RapidShare, but RapidShare works fine here.
Personally, I won't share anything via these free sites: I won't sponge off them. I only share what I can host myself, either on my domain or (on a personal level, due to CPU/network load limits) my Mac home server. I can't host everything on RapidShare on my domain, but generally there's only one active file at once. The 'a' Missy zip did just reach 500 MB traffic though, that was a surprise. That took my site up to 4 GB traffic so far this month, out of 20 GB total available -- for me, that's high (some more comes from hosting a few albums for someone -- I may as well do something useful with my space and bandwidth). But I can also place files on the WetInRed server which, despite what Steve told me, is greatly under-used in terms of bandwidth -- only 200 GB/month out of a total of 1 TB and, now that I've moved host, 1.7 TB or so/month. That 500 MB of missy is nothing compared to 200 GB regular traffic.
In terms of legality, yes, I've wondered where DjDave is getting all this stuff from. I think he told me that they're sample sets, which figures because the image sizes are below member size. They're not watermarked, but that's not his problem, although perhaps unlike him, I generally file all my sample sets against the domain name, so I know the origin of anything major. (I don't bother if it's one or two photos from a non-wetlook/non-porn site where there's no great interest to me as to where it was found -- there won't be any more).
Legality itself is no worry to me at all, and I don't think it worries anyone. No-one cares. My only worry is that the seedier content might upset my Web host, who strictly disallow adult content. I don't think photos of Froggie in a see-through, braless wet t-shirt look particularly seedy or adult, or as shocking as the photo of me where I added some boobs in Photoshop ;-) But DreamHost aren't interested in your content -- they don't place restrictions on it -- so they won't close WetInRed for some see-through clothes.
I am, of course, also concerned about going over my traffic limit with my domain, because the more content I place, the more things there are that could take a heavy hit at the same time one month. I like to keep as much of it free as I can in case, oh, someone SlashDots one of my applications and hits go through the roof ;-)
But, with caution, I have capacity to make some of these files from DjDave available too. Since, after all, RapidShare wasn't usable with my ISP for a long time because I was behind a Web proxy. This has now been taken down, it seems. |

I read that, and I'm sure the community appreciates that. But you can't host every RapidShare file linked to here, and you even should not, at least for legal reasons.
I just wanted to point out that there _are_ alternative means, and answer your "Go find something ... and tell us". Almost always one can select from different offers if, after searching a bit. RapidShare is not the only file hoster, and there are search engines beside Google, and Internet browsers other than Internet Exploder, and even operating systems other than Windows.
I guess there are even other fetishes than WAM, but I'm not sure about this ;-)

By Telcontar - mrnemesis@ntlworld.com Tue 20/02/07 16:41:11 GMT Well, I've put this one also on my own domain, which is significantly easier -- a straight Web download instead of messing about with file sharing services. |

Just let me quote from http://forum.minxmovies.com/showc.cgi?24422.4.2.1.1.2 :
"There is a lot of free file hosters other than RabbitShare. http://www.freewebspace.net/guide/diskstorage.shtml lists some. I usually prefer http://f-forge.com/ . They allow up to 350 MB uploads, and one can even use it without Javascript if one can read some html. And I think they don't use dirty IP address tricks.
Perhaps the community can move away from RapidShare...
