No it is not because me and my friend were once trying to find some hacks and we went on rapidshare to download them for my favorite game once i downloaded it i was happy until a caution popped up and said there was a unsafe file on the hack it showed the list of viruses on the file. SO I SAY, DONT DOWNLOAD RAPIDSHARE!
--------------------------------
I believe it is safe if you are careful of the files you download e.g avoid files with one word names etc. i often use it to download full albums
--------------------------------
First of all, a hack will ALWAYS be detected as a virus, if you would just have read the instructions on how to use it, you would have realized you had to turn off your anti-virus in order to use it, so its not rapidshare's fault, second, it as safe to download from them as it is from other sites like megaupload, or mediafire. you just need to know what you are downloading, be careful as some hacks or supposed "music albums" or hacks could really have viruses, but again, its not their fault, if you find a virus you can always go back and report the file, they'll check it and if it really does, it will no longer be available for download.
--------------------------------
It really isn't safe, I luckily first scanned the item I downloaded and it had 4 Trojan horses in it. So I recommend you not to use it.

I wouldn't blame rapidshare at all. They didn't upload these files you are downloading. The question is rather, can you trust the source that sent you a rapidshare link? It has very little to do with rapidshare, and reported files will get checked/deleted if they contain a trojan/virus.
you have to become a member and pay a monthly fee
just put rapid-share downloading link on download accelerator and it will automatically start downloading
Rapidshare is a file host/share website and is legal. People upload movies and cracked software illegally, but this doesn't make rapidshare illegal. It's the people uploading and downloading the content that are involving themselves in illegal activity.
Rapidshare is heaps quicker than Bittorent. Bittorent can take up to 1 day just to download 1gb of info.
Not that i have seen ? try downloading a few off rapidshare or hotfile see how you get on ?
The best way to download from Rapidshare is to use a premium download manager. These programs let you queue up as many files as you'd like then they handle the rest of the downloading for you. You don't have to worry about the bandwidth or time restrictions.
It depends on what site you are downloading from.
Downloading Mabinogi is completely safe, and virus free. Fun to =D
Depends of the kind of document or media that you want to download. If you're downloading something that has a price... for free, it could be illegal. But, is just something moral. I tough is not a high level felony, because you're not responsible of that.
it depends what your downloading
No
