Yup, none of them work for me either.

I wanna know how the RS people keep track how much an IP has downloaded?

RAPIDSHARE FAQS

Your system complaints about that I am already downloading files or that I have already downloaded too much. But I did not download anything! Whats wrong there?

Our system checks your IP-address in order to count the downloads. If you are getting this message and you really did not download anything, then you are using a proxy-server, which is used by other people as well. Even if you have no proxy-server set up in your configuration, there are many providers who force a transparent proxy-servers between you and the net. If you do not believe us, go to other pages telling you your IP-address (for example http://www.myipaddress.com.) But what can you do? You have to disable this proxy-server. If you are not able to disable the proxy-server, the only solution IS a Premium-account. Premium-users are recognized by cookies, not by IP-address. Unfortunately we cannot disable our IP-check, else people would download so much that we would have to close down this service completely. I hope you understand our situation in this matter.


I have purchased a premium-account, but your system does not recognize me! Whats wrong?

Please make sure you have enabled cookies on your system. Also make sure you do not have software installed, which blocks sending of cookies. Some firewalls for example like to do this. You do not HAVE to accept cookies, but you will have to enter your login-data for every file you want to download, if you do not accept cookies.

Da' Legend,

"I wanna know how the RS people keep track how much an IP has downloaded?"

They can use cookies for tracking but I've noticed recently (within the last month) that they don't seem to be using them any longer. From what I understand though (and I'm not a webmaster), any site can put some type of code into their site that tracks visitor I.P.'s. That must be what RS is doing.

This is probably the wrong place to ask, but if I am provided a password before clicking on a rapidshare link, where/when am I supposed to enter it?
To be more specific, I want to dload a .rar file, and I am given a password.
Upon clicking on the rapidshare link, it says that the file is "forbidden to be shared, complaints recieved." Does that mean that rapidshare deleted the file or that I need to enter the password somewhere? Thanks...

Passwords for .rar files are only used for the .rar file not the link. As for the "forbidden to be shared complaints recieved" message it just means rapidshare deleted it.

rapidshare knows your ip address by use of a cookie. one way to get around it is to delete the cookie each time, but than tou have to wait a bit or disconnect and connect again.

here is another and better way.
it's a program that changes your ip address.

download from here:
http://www.proxyswitcher.com/pub/ProxySwitcherStandard.exe

use it to change your ip address after every download. that way you can keep downloading from rapidshare without a minimum.

here is a site that tells you what it thinks your proxy is. this way you can check if you changed it:

So does this really work or not?

Rapidshare

Description -
Here are some hints to help you more efficently use rapidshare.

Directions -
Rapidshare has been an excellent tool for sharing large files. Over the last few weeks, many people have figured out how to more efficently use this service. I wanted to document some of these suggestions here. If you have more please let me know.

Rapidshare traces the users IP address to limit each user to a certain amount of downloading per day. To get around this, you need to show the rapidshare server, a different IP address. You can do this one of multiple ways.

1. Short-Out the JavaScript:

1. Goto the page you want to download
2. Select FREE button
3. In the address bar put the following: javascript:alert(c=0)
4. Click OK
5. Click OK to the pop-up box
6. Enter the captcha
7. Download Your File



2. Request a new IP address from your ISP server.

Here's how to do it in windows:
1. Click Start
2. Click run
3. In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK
4. When the command prompt opens type the following. ENTER after each new line.
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit

5. Erase your cookies in whatever browser you are using.
6. Try the rapidshare download again.

Frequently you will be assigned a new IP address when this happens. Sometime you will, sometimes you will not. If you are on a fixed IP address, this method will not work. To be honest, I do not know how to do this in linux/unix/etc. If this works for you, you may want to save the above commands into a batch file, and just run it when you need it.



3. Use a proxy with SwitchProxy and Firefox:

1. Download and install Firefox if you have not already
2. Download and install SwitchProxy
3. Google for free proxies
4. When you hit your download limit, clean your cookies and change your proxy



4. Use an anonymous service:

Running your system through the tor network should in theory work; however, it is difficult to use and setup. Plus, you allow others to run their evil deeds through your system as well by using this system. Anonymizer 2005 is inexpensive, easy to use, but not free. Other pay services would likely work as well.



5. You can use a bookmarklet to stop your wait times:

1. Open IE
2. Right Click On This Link
3. Select Add to Favorites
4. Select Yes to the warning that the bookmark may be unsafe.
5. Name it "RapidShare No Wait"
6. Click on the Links folder (if you want to display it in your IE toolbar)
7. Click OK
8. You may need to close and reopen IE to see it
9. Goto rapidshare and click the bookmarklet when you are forced to wait

monkeyman,

Saw your question this a.m. so I decided to try it. The program does work and has some pretty good tutorials on how to use it (I'm going through it at the moment). But, and this is a pretty big but, it doesn't work very well with RS (at least so far). The reason? It seems a lot of other people are using it so everytime I changed the IP and went to RS, someone else had already been there. So it may be OK for some things, but not particularly good for RS.

Just my experience so far.

thanks for all the effort!

This didn't work for me at all. you mean when you click the FREE button and it goes to the page telling you you have to wait 79 minutes or something to download again, then you paste that javascript line in the address bar? I get a pop-up box that says "0" and when I click okay it just goes away and the browser window doesn't change. Am I just being thick?

Maybe I AM being think - this one confuses me. What link am I right clicking in step 2 to add to my favorites?

Thanks again.

Those were the two that I tried as well, and the insrtuctions, to me anyway, just don't make sense. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: rapidshare problems

Well you can go to where I found the info from.

rapidshare: download-session invalid

Every single time that I've tried to download a file from rapidshare for the past few weeks, it get the "download session invalid. Possible reasons:
Download-session expired. Direct-links last a few minutes for free users and a few days for premium-users.
You requested this download-session from a different IP than yours. If you use AOL, try a different browser."
This is really starting to annoy me, does anyone else have this problem, any solutions?
thanks
