Hello

I was wondering how i put files in a folder in rapidshare i make the folder and select the files and click on option 2 like it says but i get an error and another folder is made but no files is in there.

also my winrar only have like 3 or 4 options to split files 1.44 100mb zip 720 cd 4.8 gig dvd
i typed in 25000 bytes should be 25 megs but it made like 2000 files for a 130 meg file I have problem uploading 100 meg files to rapidshare and megauploads. and help will be appreciated

phantom911, I'm not clear about the type of RS account you're describing, so I don't want to give you the wrong advice on that issue.

Regarding WinRAR; you're using the wrong conversion factors. There are two industry standards that define the term "Kilo", and this creates a lot of confusion.

The IEEE standard is 1000KB = 1MB. This standard generally applies to hard drive capacities and electronic data transfer rates (bandwidth):






The standard for data is 1024KB = 1MB, and is the standard you need to use with WinRAR. These are the data factors for a 1MB file:






These are the data factors for a 25MB file:






These are the data factors for a 100MB file:

So if I wanted to split the file into 25 megabyte chunks what number should I use with winzip (I.E. I thought 25,000 would be close enough should i use the bit number or the byte number on the 25 meg chart?) I even more confused with all them tables now. But it was interesting reading, I guess as I learn more about file splitting it might be easy or simple stuff. as for rapidshare I have a premium account that i buy every month I can make a folder and share it so i only have to put 1 link to it but I have not been able to put files into it.

Thanks again.

phantom911, WinZIP and WinRAR both use bytes for file sizes. So when you split a large file you need to convert to bytes. If you look at the 3rd chart you'll see that 25 MB = 26214400 bytes.

It'll do you good to learn this stuff and the best way is to just play with until you get it. If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning anything!

Remember to use "kilo" = 1024. Here's a link to the page with the bit calculator:

Now to your RS question. I'm assuming you've already created your folder, and given it a name. If you scroll to the bottom of your RS account page the button in "Step 2" looks like this:





That means you need to scroll back to the top of the page and left-click once on your folders ID number (all you'll see is the blinking cursor that looks like a capital "I"):





Now scroll back to the bottom of the page again and look at the "Step 2" button. It should say "Copy to XXXXXX" (whatever your folder ID is). Now go check mark the file/s you want to put in your folder. When they're checked, then click the "Step 2" button.




You'll see this little dialog next:





Scroll back to the top of the page, click the "Admin login" button, and it'll open right into your folder with your newly copied file/s.

Thank you very Much
