I have only just discovered rapidshare and other similar websites and would have to admit that I hav'nt left a thanks. After reading these posts you have made me aware of proper download etiquette. So consider me converted.  :-[

Newrace:
Thanks Beergut :)

A simple thanks is all that is required...if you download something... that our great members have posted...say thank you. it does not he hurt.. :)

Kenoath! It's just good manners. plus it gives the thread a bump for others to see that may have missed it.

In fact people not saying thanks when they grab stuff someone has posted just pisses me off, because if someone on the street slipped 'em a free CD they wanted, I'm sure they'd say thanks. Sheer laziness is all that is.

"...to the charge of not thanking the provider when you download good Aussie music, Forrykook... How do you plea?" Says the judge.

Aaaahhh, guilty as charged your honour, I reply.

Ok so I'm new to this type of thing. I've been downloading from P2P networks for years, mostly WinMX, and I ALWAYS try to send a message of thanks to the person I'm downloading from just for sharing their file. I've also been known to watch as one of my uploads nears completion and I send a message saying "You're welcome." So my point is that courtesy is important to me also, but when I downloaded stuff from Ausrock I just haven't done it. I promise I will track down the files and thank the providers. As I said, I'm new to this site and have only just recently joined up. Not quite sure how to go about contacting the uploaders but I will give it a go.

Also while I am in the "have a whinge" department... I have tried 4 times to upload an album but it keeps getting disconnected or something. Aaaargghhhh!!

Forrykook:
"forrykook sitting incorner with his hand up

"Sir, excuse me Sir, I've looked back at the albums that I've downloaded and I can't figure out how to thank the uploaders. I'm sorry Sir, I know I'm not worth a moment of your attention and I don't come up to your bootlaces. Sorry Sir, I'll go away now."

Ok, so we whinge about not being thanked but how does one go about doing so??
