Hello

I have been trying to download from rapidshare but always get session expired errors :mad:

Does this thing actually work with free accounts ?

Cheers

It works fine for me. The only problem is that they log an ip and if you downloaded a big file, and you try to download another one right after that you get a message that you have to wait like 70 mins before downloading again. So I just reconnect to my isp to change ip address and download again.

OK :confused: Must be due to my ISP then. Probably sends out the webcache IP or something..... Will have to try via another connection.

Also...are there any "download managers" for rapidshare like grabber or rapget that is working for anyone.

Thanks

Or you can try this.
changing your proxy every time you download from Rapidshare so you don't have to wait 60 mins after each file.
Changing Your Proxy Server Setting in Internet Explorer
If you are using a PC through a dial-up connection:

From the "Tools" menu, select "Internet Options.".
Click the Connections tab.
Click on your ISP in the "Dial Up Settings" list.
Click on the "Settings" button.
Uncheck "Use a proxy server."
Click "OK" twice to save your preferences.

If you are using a PC through a broadband connection:

From the "Tools" menu, select "Internet Options".
Click the "Connections" tab.
Under "Local Area Network Settings," select "LAN Settings".
Under the header of "Proxy Server," uncheck "Use a Proxy Server ."
Click " OK" twice to save your preferences.
