Hi,
The rapidshare issue is something very weird. We are not sure why, but this seems to happen after too many people go to rapidshare a time. Since rapidshare is paid per gb and doesnt care about bandwidth I think that rapidshare blocks http access for 24 hours because they think they are being attacked. You can check for yourself, you can ping to rapidshare.com, if we ssl.rapidshare.com it seems to be working.
Anyway, this should be resolved in a few hours.
Thanks
