  9. Re:Say no to rapidshare on Rapidshare Trying To Convert Pirates Into Customers · · Score: 1

    Just say no to rapidshare and alike "please pay us or wait imaginary seconds for a download slot" sites.
    You can use google docs to share large files.

    Free file sharing services use those seconds and slots to display ads and to promote own paid services. Google displays ads too. If you don't work for google, then you only suggest switching one ad supported service provider with another and your suggestion is some ad/user tracking monster. If you do work for google, go and pay for ad placement in slashdot sales department.

    According to wikipedia Google docs have 1 GB limit for one account.

    rapidshare is one of moderate file sharing service providers. They don't try to push own toolbars into user's machines like others (including google) do.

    There are downsides, of course, to having no client-side javascript.

    Javascript works in opera mini. Some versions of opera mini (or proxy used by opera mini) reacted to javascript based controls. My problem was that it reacted by automatically clicking OK button and correct action was to hit Cancel.

    Wait. The desktop app was more network intensive than the web app? Were they using X forwarding or something? And the web app somehow doesn't require the VPN? This doesn't make sense.

    Desktop app needs access to local network, so it needs VPN on client. Web app does not need VPN. It is only displayed on client. Web app is executed on server and server has access to local network or whole infrastructure is changed and data is stored in database. Web app can be protected by SSL/TLS and user authentication.

    Web app is served over TCP. VPN does not use TCP. It uses UDP and latency sucks on GPRS or satellite.
