If you search Rapidshare's FAQ for "points", you'll get the following:

Each time a free user downloads your files, you gain points. You get a Free-RapidPoint for each download, provided that the file is bigger than 5 megabyte and the user has not generated more than 3 RapidPoints in the last hour. Your files have to be stored in the collector's zone or the premium zone so that we can assign the download to your account.

RapidPoints can be exchanged to extend your premium membership. For this, you can go to the menu option "Redeem RapidPoints" in the free zone or premium zone.
