[SurroundSound] Re: New Rapidshare Plans

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.
