Most of the hosts offer a free service as well with all the completion out free is good enough for me.
rapidshare is just one of the free hosts and as its not P2P you aren't dishing your IP out so freely.
downloader apps can help with the downloading see Jdownloader & MiPony
a lot of sites these days add free host names to their sites to get traffic
but there is still plenty of content out there on google give it a try
I have a little magic code I use
("mirrorcreator.com/files/*"|"mir.cr/"|"rapidspread.com/file.jsp?id="|"massmirror.com/"|"qooy.com/files/*/"|"megaupload.com/"|"x7.to/*/*"|"filesonic.com/file/*"|"fileserve.com/file/*"|"filefactory.com/file/*"|"rapidshare.com/files/*/"|"rapidshare.de/files/*/"|"wupload.com/file/*"|"hotfile.com/dl/*/*"|"bitshare.com/files/*/*"|"uploadstation.com/file/*"|"d01.megashares.com/dl/*/*"|"mediafire.com/?"|"easy-share.com/"|"netload.in/*/"|"depositfiles.com/*/files/"|"letitbit.net/download/*/*"|"badongo.com/file/"|"zshare.net/*/*/"|"uploadline.com/*/*"|"sendspace.com/file/*"|"flyupload.com/get?fid=*"|"2xupload.de/file/*/"|"load.to/*/"|"ul.to/*"|"ifolder.ru/*"|"filegu.ru/f/*/*"|"uploadrack.com/*/*")
type what you want into google then add the code

if you search for things like that you will get a warning on google at the bottom of the search results.
