One-click hosting describes web services that allow any internet user to easily upload any type of file from his hard drive onto the one-click hosters server free of charge to have it hosted. ...
It operates as a pay service, allowing any member to upload files of up to 100MB. The user is then supplied with a unique download URL, which locates the file and enables anyone with whom the uploader shares it to download the file. As of September 17, 2006, non-premium members are forced to wait roughly two hours (recently increased to 200+ minutes) after each download (this does depend on the size of downloaded file).

Registration and payment allow benefits such as download of several files simultaneously, queue-skipping, and the facility to interrupt and re-start downloads. No user is allowed to search the server for content; all files have to be downloaded by following a given URL.
On October 19, 2006, Rapidshare announced that "Unfortunately all drives of RapidShare.de are full right now".[citation needed] A new website, rapidshare.com has been made in an attempt to transfer usage from rapidshare.de to rapidshare.com.[citation needed] Premium accounts for Rapidshare.de were not lost as a code could be used to transfer the account between servers. However, this code was only good for as long as the account did not expire, and the promotion did not finish. It is not possible, however, to use a Rapidshare.com account on the German site. Despite the one-way compatibility with paid accounts, both sites claim to be entirely different organisations and entities. The new site originally did not impose any download limits, but on October 27 the "Happy Hours" came to an end, bringing back the download limits. The file size limit was also reduced from 300MB to its current 100MB. is the 292nd day of the year (293rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Issues Due to certain ISP's usage of proxy servers, many people are unable to access files hosted on rapidshare as they will be using one proxy server and rapidshare limits download slots for everyone using that proxy server as if it were one person. Rapidshare's policy is to encourage those behind proxy servers to purchase premium accounts. “ISP†redirects here. ...
Some ISPs also intentionally block sharing sites like Rapidshare to make better use of the bandwidth. Every premium account is limited to a maximum of 23GB within a five day period [1].
On January 19th news broke that German collections agency GEMA has claimed to have won a temporary injunction against both rapidshare.de and rapidshare.com. "The latter is said to have used copyright protected works of GEMA members in an unlawful fashion,".[2] To date RapidShare has claimed not to have any knowledge of the content uploaded by the users and of not being in a position to control the content. Through its injunctions the District Court in Cologne had now however made it clear to the company that the fact that it was the users and not the operator of the services that uploaded the content onto the sites did not, from a legal point of view, lessen the operator’s liability for copyright infringements that occurred within the context of the services, the spokesman added. Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte (GEMA) (Society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights) is a performance rights organization from Germany. ...
Both rapidshare.de and rapidshare.com sites are currently still operating and the consequences, if any, of the claimed injunction have yet to be seen. So far, they have not been sued.
