rapidshare etc: ive gone to sites like rapidshare to download single clips. what do you get access to if U pay?

people usually pay to join a site for a specific interest. why would people pay to join a site that has free clips?

also, what are sites like rapidshare called and how many of them are there out ther?

what are the names of rapidshares main rivals?

Chosen Answer:

They are called file hosts.

You pay to be a premium member to get a premium service which has different perks. Almost always a higher download speed and less wait time.

Rapidshare rivals are:

Megaupload.com
Megashares.com
Uploadedto
Netload
Mediafire
Depositfiles

But there are a ton. Megaupload, Netload and Megashares are the ones I most often see.

Use Jdownloader and avoid premium services.

    rivals are pretty much sites that allow ppl to upload files and let others download their files, mediafire, box.net, 4shared.com…
