As some of you who might notice, Rapidshare has introduced a new plan called RapidPro that uses a point-system as opposed to the monthly subscription based scheme previously. This has caused confusion to the previous Rapidshare Premium account holders and potential users.

Unlike previous system that allow you to download as many files of any size in a given month, the new system instead tracks your downloads based on your data transfer (aka traffic) in a given month. In order to use RapidShare Premium for a period of 30 days with 30GB data transfer, you will need 99 Rapids (points).

What is Rapids (points)?
Rapids is your credits/points used in the new RapidShare Premium account. It costs 14 Rapids per 5GB downloads. So if you have 400 Rapids, it will allow you to download : (400/14)*5 = 28.57 * 5 = 147.85GB!

What if my Rapids runs out before my month is due?
You simply can’t download! You will need to ‘charge’ up your account to resume downloading at the rate of 14 Rapids per 5GB or 2.8 Rapids for 1GB.

What if I don’t exceed 99 Rapids (download <30GB), and my month is up?
Easy, you need to extend your account just like previously, for 99 Rapids per renewal. The remaining Rapids will be carried over to the next month. So it’s easy.

The new RapidShare system works just like ordinary {Hotlink, Xpax, DiGi} Prepaids plan! Your will have to top-up in order to talk, and if your months is up before you’ve got the chance to finish up the credit, just simply top up another RM10 to gain another month, with the previous balance carried over!

See? It’s easy! Go and get RapidShare Premium now!

The exchange seems almost fluid and being done by a human being, except that my friend and I never had conversation in English! This seems all too fishy when he didn’t response to my conclusion that his computer is infected by a malware/virus. Here are the screenshot of the exchange, (warning: the transcripts contain expletives)

Beware, these kind of viruses can compromise the security of your computer and may be used to harvest your password and other personal information for criminal intent. A seemingly innocent Online Quiz website may be used by phishers in order to commit fraudulent activity.

Verify whether it is really your friend is communicating with you and not somebody else or a program pretending to be him/her, and most importantly do not fell victim to Yahoo Messenger viruses, the result can be devastating.

Probably SIRIM should perform a thorough checking on its website before publishing it to the internet, there must be a “Standard” for website security I assume?

Well, I leave it up to these screenshots to answer those questions

FYI, most of these people have at least completed college-level education and are supposed to understand that forwading junk messages could disrupt any sort of communication network.

Oh well I might as well redirect people who questioned my long absence from Friendster account to this page next time. Boohoo social networking, I’ll be screening my FaceBook contact to avoid this sort of problem.
