Download From Rapidshare, hotfile without waiting with Online Storage

The new Bittorrent related service Fetch.io has been in the news ever since it was mentioned over at Torrentfreak two days ago. Fetch.io acts as a middleman by downloading torrents to their servers.

Fetch.io additionally supports file hosting websites such as Rapidshare, Filesonic or Megaupload besides torrents.

The service is currently offering free beta accounts that give users 20 Gigabytes of storage and 40 Gigabytes of bandwidth. You can get your bandwidth reset by emailing the developers.

The developers mentioned that they are starting to add more server hardware to improve overall performance of the service for all beta users.

Plans are to launch a paid service after the beta phase. There will still be a free account available for users to test the service, but the storage and bandwidth will likely be reduced. The fact that both torrent and file hosting sites are supported makes the service attractive, the pricing and payment options will however determine if the service will become a success, or if it will disappear like many others before it.

"By using this, free users wait for downloading files from sites like Rapidshare.com, hotfile.com, mediafire.com are over. You have to just copy url of file you want to download and paste it in given filed of your fetch.io account. Then this particular file will transferred from that server to your fetch.io account. Then you will be able to download it as regular file. fetch.io also extract files from your transferred .rar, .zip files."
