-Premium points are for premium account holders, you will receive 1 point for each time a FREE USER downloads your file
once you have 10,000 points you can extend your account for a free month or create another account for a friend
-you will have to rar your files with Winrar, assuming you have Winrar, right click on all the files you want to put in your rar and hit add to archive...

-you will see a box come up for the options you can rename to whatever you want try to use a non-suspicious name for movies and stuff Rapidshare would delete (ex. instead of pirates of the Caribbean 3 put POTC3).
-you will have to split the files to 100mb parts if its bigger than that you wil have to put 100,000,000 into the split to volume box, after you do it once it will be in the drop down box for good.
-the other drop down box will compress your files for you this will save time uploading
here is a basic guide what setting you should compress your files at
PC GAMES - good or best (they compress well)
PS2 XBOX PSP - good or best (they compress well)
Movies - Store (waste of time to compress movies it takes longer and doesn't compress much)
Music - Store (most cds are under 100mb anyways)
hint** even though compressing your files will save time uploading and will be less files that also means less links and less premium points
although if your file is 4gb you should compress because free users don't want to download 40 links because of the waiting times for free users
-In the advanced tab you can set a password for your files
-In the comment tab you can put in txt so that people will see any important install notes or anything related
-You can also save a txt file anywhere on your system and load that in and it will show all the txt in that file instead of typing it in every time.
-Once you have your settings the way you want it hit ok and let it go
-The more compression you set the longer it will take
-When you have your rar file complete you are ready to upload just open up your Rapiduploader and make sure it says logged in (in the bottom right corner)
-Then simply drag your files into the upload window and drop them in there
-Uploads are much slower than downloads so don't be surprised.
hint**its a good idea to rar up a bunch of stuff and drag them all in when when you go to bed or to work and let it go
hint**don't leave uploads and downloads going at the same time because it will stop your uploads if your downloads and uploads switches to the next file at the same time (you can get away with it for a bit though;)
hint**say you have a movie that's 7 links and you try to drag them in all at the same time, drag them in from number one so they are in the order you want them in (its not that big if a deal but its just confusing and time consuming to put them back in the right order once you have your links)
-Once all of your uploads are done go under the history tab and highlight all the files you want links for and right click, then hit "read selected"
-It will pull up a box with download links and kill links (forget about the kill links) if you want to delete your files you can do it when your logged in at rapidshare.com
-hit copy and it will drop down, then hit all download links
hint** its a good idea to save all of your links in a txt file for easy access
