[Ambassadors] Rapidshare download of Fedora ISO

[Neo Reeves]

I never knew about the Warez/Trojan, usually cracked software come with them
from Rapidshare, and the 4GB limit?? No I download more than that from
Rapidshare per day.

Ok since all of you share a common idea towards rapidshare I guess it is not
a good choice after all. Thanks for the replies everyone.

Thnx,
Sameeh
