Whats the deal with rapidshare?

People still use rapidshare, which is fine. However I always see people complaining about rapidshare too. Then I see these programs that are supposed to get you past the rapidshare wait garbage and they don't work. You would think with all the complaining people a program that works would have come out by now. Just thought that was strange.

I'm not advocating getting past rapidshares security measures...
