Remote uploads enable uploading of files from other servers instead of uploading them from your own PC. In the Premium Zone you can enter URLs into a list using the menu option "Remote Uploads" so that you can copy the files directly into your Premium Account. The process is usually very fast, because RapidShare possesses a powerful internet connection. However, it may happen that the server, on which the file are stored, is overloaded and the transfer takes longer. Please note that a remote upload is cancelled after three hours.
if file is stored on normal website you can input direct url
for example: Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 you can put direct url into Remote Upload box right away
