The Art of Uploading Militant Groups' Propaganda On Hosting Sites

(Rapidleech)
A short clip explaining how to upload militant Islamist groups' propaganda on web hosting sites using the Rapidleech script has been distributed online today. Rapidleech is a free server transfer script for use on popular file sharing websites such as megaupload.com, Rapidshare.com and more than 45 other web hosting sites.

The process is usually a slow and time consuming, especially when large media files are involved. Rapidleech speeds up the process, and circumvents censorship through wider distribution.
