Rapidshare.com Download / Upload

This is a basic tutorial on how to download and upload to/from Rapidshare.com along with some tricks and advice.

Download:
Basically to download a file from Rapidshare.com, all you have to do is click on the link, a page with a table, you have two choices, either download as a premium user or a free user:

For a premium user, you won't face any problems, just download, however for free users, you'll have to do a couple of things first.

- Click on the "Free" button:

< - You'll have to wait for the timer, timer depends on the size of the file you're downloading.

- When the time finishes counting, you'll have to enter a verification code (only for free users):

And thats about it, this way you'll download as a free users.

Download tricks:
Premium users:
All premium users don't really face any problems downloading from Rapidshare, but, sometimes we have to download several archives (RAR, ZIP...), and downloading it link by links can be really annoying.

So basically here is how to download 7 links with 3 mouse clicks:

You'll need a download manager software, it helps a lot, the one I recommend is IDM (Internet download manager), you can find it at Katz.cd.

- Find the links you want to download, highlight them all, with your mouse, right click and choose "Download with IDM":

- A window will pop up, check all links, browse the location you want to download the files to, and click on "Ok":

This way you'll be able to download a large set of Rapidshare.com links, but in this case, a default option in IDM is to download 4 files at a time, some people like to download it one by one, which is doable in IDM.

If you want to change the download queue list settings, open IDM and click on "Scheduler" in the navigation bar:

A window will pop up, click on "Files in queue" tab, and change the setting to "1", then click "Apply":

This way the queued files will be downloaded one by one.

Free users:
There is one thing that concerns free users, is the time / file limit, there is one basic trick to avoid and bypass that time, disconnect then connect your router, this should change your IP, clear your browser's cookies and cache, then you'll be able to download from Rapidshare again.

Or you can renew your IP using CMD.

- Click on the start menu => Run => type CMD => Click Ok
- Type these, each in a new line:


Quote:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit


- Clear your cookies / cache, and thats it.

This does not always work though.
