Rapidshare Save File to..

[bugmebug]

Does rapidshare deletes nonshared backup files saved from another rapidshare account if original files deleted?

The "save file to" doesn't work for me tho Any ideas why?

 

[bugmebug]

you need to create a folder.. you can not save to root

So is it safe to save files to backup account anyone has any experience?

They won't delete copies unless it's a DMCA complaint.

So if one file gets dmca in one account, same file at other account gets deleted?
They keep track from where the file copied and delete according to md5 even they are at different acccounts now?

I guess they just use the "reference counting" technique to map multiple "links" to one "physical file",
and I also guest MegaUpload also use the similar mechanism.
This technique works like the "hard link" of UNIX filesystem.

If a MU's link is reported, the link will be dead; however, the physical file will be still alive because their are still some active links pointing to it.
If the server which stores the physical file is down or under maintenance, you'll get a "temporarily unavailable" message.

I don't know how RS removes a reported file, but all links will be dead if RS deletes the physical file.
