I learned this back in the day when running into daily transfer limits on free file sharing websites. Big hassle when trying to download multi-part zip archives on a weekend.

Nowadays people upload to Google Drive, plus other hosts have more relaxed limits, so I haven't had the need to do it as often. But it's still useful to know.

I always wondered what happend to the rapidshare/megaupload space that existed if that’s what you mean by “free file sharing websites”. Curious where people moved to/what are the major indexes now?
