Founded in 2002, Swiss-based RapidShare was and most popular one-click file-hosting services on the Internet.Like most sites of this nature, was frequently used by people to share copyright-infringing material. It was a relationship that got the company into trouble on various occasions.RapidShare fought many with entertainment companies seeking to hold the company liable for the actions of its users, and to top it off the site was called out by the U.S. Government as a “notorious market.”Hoping to clear up its image the company made to cooperate with copyright holders and limit copyright infringements.

The dwindling revenues eventually cost their jobs.Today marks the beginning of the final chapter in RapidShare’s controversial history. The company just announced that it will shut down at the end of March and is recommending that users store their files elsewhere.“Kindly note that RapidShare will stop the active service on March 31st, 2015. Extensions of STANDARD PLUS and PREMIUM will be possible until February 28th, 2015,” RapidShare writes on its homepage.“We strongly recommend all customers to secure their data. After March 31st, 2015 all accounts will no longer be accessible and will be deleted automatically,” the company adds.TF asked the company for further details on the planned shutdown but we have yet to hear back. The most likely explanation is that RapidShare can’t sustain its business with the smaller number of users it has today.The demise of RapidShare marks the end of an era. Half a decade ago RapidShare was listed among the 50 most-visited sites on the Internet, with hundreds of millions of page-views per month, but in a just a few weeks it will be gone.Update March 31: RapidShare has shut down.
It's finally done. Here is Check The Cool Wax, Volume 2 - Christmas Wax. A dusty mix of Christmas music from the island of misfit songs. Combustible Edison (named after a drink) was my favorite bands from the resurgence of lounge about a decade ago. I was fortunate enough to see them once at the Uptown Bar in Minneapolis. I, Swinger is one of my favorite cds to this day. They worked a little with Esquivel before he died too.
I caught them once on Conan O'Brien singing Christmas Time Is Here. I searched all over for this and finally found it on a Sub Pop Sampler. I was excited to see they had two songs on this cd. Christmas Time Is Here AND Sleighride. Anyone know what these guys are up to these days?SORRY. FILES HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
SERVER UPDATE - I'm not sure what I'm going to do about hosting my files. I do know that all non-Christmas files will be down until after the holidays. Sorry about that. For people who don't know, the high volume of Christmas music traffic crashed the server. I've since been hosting my files on one-click hosting sites like Rapidshare and FileHo!
None of which work that great. I constantly read comments about these sites not working for visitors. I have a bunch more Christmas albums that I'd like to post, but this new system just sucks. If anyone has any ideas to help me get the files out smoother, please leave a comment.
