While Rapidshare and Megaupload are available only in the browser, alternative YouSendIt also has a desktop client that can resume uploads.

You can bypass all these restrictions by purchasing a Premium Account for unlimited downloads.

A: Rapidshare in the past has offered free premium accounts on their website but they are extremely rare. Most of the username and passwords for Rapidshare premium accounts that you would find on the web are either expired or just an hoax like the rapidshare golden pack. You just need Paypal for becoming a premium Rapidshare user. The same is true for Megaupload premium accounts.

History
RapidShare has two different websites, but both sites claim to be entirely different organizations and entities. The original site is RapidShare.de, which uses the German top-level domain “.de”.
On October 19, 2006, RapidShare announced that "Unfortunately all drives of RapidShare.de are full right now".[1] A new website, RapidShare.com was set up in an attempt to transfer usage from RapidShare.de to RapidShare.com.[citation needed] When the new Rapidshare.com was launched, holders of “Premium” accounts at the time on RapidShare.de were able to use both the RapidShare.de and RapidShare.com, until their account expired. It is not possible, however, to use a RapidShare.com account on the German site.
