Rapidshare 20GB Storage Limit

I received this e-mail today and am posting it for your information...

Dear Customer,

Herewith we advise you of an upcoming change in our storage management.

This message refers to your RapidShare premium account:

ID: *****************
Current expiration date: ***************************
Current e-mail address: ************************

On November 10th, we will launch our storage revision program.
Accounts that use more than 20 GB of storage will be marked as "XXL" accounts by our system.
If any files associated with an "XXL" account have not been downloaded within the last 90 days ("inactive files"), those files will be deleted automatically.
As soon as the account's storage is less than 20 GB, no further files will be deleted.
Of course, no active files (i.e. files that have been downloaded at least once during the last 90 days) will be deleted. This means, we still offer unlimited storage for active files.

Your account's current storage utilization is over 20 GB, which means your account will be marked as "XXL".
Please check your account for files that you no longer need and remove them.
This helps to avoid the deletion of files you would like to keep.

You can check your current storage utilization at any time in the premium zone, right above the files list.

Thank you for your attention.

Best regards,

RapidShare AG
Management

So effectively if your stored files are more than 20GB your files will be deleted after 90 days inactivity - effectively giving you the same rights as a FREE user...
