well, megaupload has tons of advantages:
* it's one of the very few ddl-services that offer full speed downloads
* it offers full speed when uploading
* it has an extremely high limit of 500MB for uploading files
* files are stored for up to three months without downloads
* you get messaged before a file gets deleted
* it supports resumable uploads, even for free users. that is the most useful feature...i could tell you stories...
* it offers a variety of download statistics for your uploaded files. very interesting to see what people enjoy...
* you can decide on which server you want to upload the files
* your waiting time doesn't get activated as long as your downloads stay below 150MB. compare that to rapidshare. if you download a 10MB file, you have to wait for your next download, even though your maximum limit is 100MB. use megaupload with some common sense and you can download about 650MB without waiting time. also, both of you don't seem to know that getting a new ip helps you to circumvent the waiting time
* you have full control over your files
