There should be a public list of cool stuff on RapidShare. That way, people can sift through all the pr0n/Disney movies and start archiving this stuff in a distributed sense. That way, the artifacts aren't lost forever.
There was load of blog sites which kept posting up new stuff with links back to Rapidshare in the footer, but older page just ended up have dead links as the content got deleted.
Google used to be able to index Rapidshare so you could just search for files on via Google
