What I do not understand is how do they charge us and is it possible to
delete/cancel/unsubscribe to RS. I got that email saying I was being
automatically upgraded(to rapidmedium) also with a new charge of 20 rapids
per day. How much is that? I only download(I exceeded my 1gb amount for the
day I think). I have nothing stored. I really do not trust this new model
of theirs. I will stop using this service immediately. I can not even find
out when my premium acct. expires.
I emailed them requesting my account be deleted/deactivated etc. I don't
trust these new changes. I am also using hotfile.com.
