"This is how rapid share works :

- Click on the link
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click " free "
- Wait 30 seconds ( there is a little counter, sometimes more than 30 seconds )
- click on the link
- wait an hour or two ( just kidding, but it is slow ) and voila
- and you can only download a precise amount of data per day per PC"

The modeling method used is edge extrusion in XSI.
