I used a software called ‘Rapidshare Auto Downloader’. But I doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do. I have to manually download the files.
Every-time one file finishes downloading, I get ‘You’re IP already downloading a file’ error? What do I do?
What software should I use?
I personally haven’t had much luck with Rapidshare Auto Downloader. Try one of the programs at http://www.premiumlinkgenerator.net they seem to be the best.
…and how do you get awarded them? The rapidshare site doesn’t seem to explain very well.
you get points by uploading and people downloading your uploads.
It happen more than once ,that rapidshare prompts me to wait because my IP is downloading a file when I’m not. I’m the only rapidshare user in my PC. Is it possible that a user in a remote PC can download files from rapidshare using my IP?
Do you use tunneling or anonymizing software? How about proxy servers like Tor? If you use anything like that it will make downloading from Rapidshare more difficult because there are multiple users assigned to the same IP address. If you are not using any of those things, Then try resetting your connection by powering down your modem and resetting it. Works for me.
It says my IP address is already downloading a file, which I am not. Also the IP address that rapidshare says is my IP add is different from my actual IP address (I saw it on cmd) what shall I do to fix this?
The IP address which you see when you type ipconfig command, is your internal IP address assigned by router, not by ISP. The IP address which was provided by ISP is used by router to connect to internet. Everytime a new computer connects to your router or to build in network, it assigns it a new internal IP address, so that it can identify each computer sending data by internal IP and to make communication flow easy and secure.
When browsing or download internet, data is first sent from computer to router using internal IP, and then router uses actual IP provided by ISP to pass the data to internet. So internet only knows your actual IP, it doesn’t know your internal IP address.
So may be if you have wireless network, someone from neighbouring area is connected to your wireless network, and is using Rapidshare to download, and thus your actual IP provided by ISP is used, and that’s the problem you are having for downloading. Your internal IP may look like something similar to this 192.168.*.* .
Let (contact) me know if you want to secure your wireless network.
If you want to know your actual IP then you can check these addresses:

i have a Rapidshare account and i was wondering if there is a download manager that works with premium account, and lets you do multi downloads at the same time when you are downloading something that is like 50 and over files so you don’t have too put all of the one-by-one.
so if i am downloading some huge program(like over 50 fileS). help?
RapGet
http://www.rapget.com/en/download.html
I use it many times and gets the job done. Make sure you configure it to use your premium account. In RapGet, go to Settings, Servers tab and make sure to select Rapidshare.com. Just enter your RS username and password.
To paste multiple links at once, copy the links and just press “Ctrl + V” in RapGet. Also can be set to auto PC shutdown when all downloads are finish.
I am new at this rapid share thing, so I do not know quite what to do. When I upload every thing for rapid share and start the download and put in the CD key and start downloading it is like it would if I had bought it from the store, but after it does the first CD it says “Please Insert Disk Number 2” what do I do when it gets to that? I just can’t insert a disk because it is a file on my desktop and not on a disk. Can you explain in simple terms for me because I never did any thing like this? I now it has some thing to do with the cracked exe thing, but I don’t know what to do with the thing exactly. So like I said I am a noob at this thing so I would like some help from the people who used this before and have got the thing they downloaded to work.
Thanks
it doesn’t work
* Download session expired. Direct-links last a few minutes for free users.
* You requested this download session from a different IP than yours. If you use AOL, try a different browser.
* If nothing helps, getting a premium-account will override the IP-check, which means it will solve this problem.
whenever i try downloading from rapidshare. It shows this message. Is this the problem of the ISP?
The Rapidshare has 2 type of accounts, one for free and the other for a premium. Many free account users have difficulties downloading after their limits have been reached; then, they will have to wait, sometimes up to hours, to download the next file. Though the site is not so user friendly, many people still upload files to Rapidshare because they can earn points to download files from the site. The many “obstructions” that Rapidshare has planted for free users is just a nice way to tell the free users that it is about time to upgrade to the premium service. There is nothing wrong with the ISP or the site.
Ok i’ve just became a preimum user on rapidshare and wanna download music, how can i find the files and stuff? Also how do i know what files i’m downloading are safe and what ones arne’t?
There are a number of search engines available for files but unfortunately none of them give any real details of the file you are downloading other than it’s name and size. This means it could contain a virus or the archive could be passworded.
You are best off joining a forum where people post their downloads and then if there are problems you can contact the person who shared the links. Some of the forums are quite spammy, but some are better than others. Google is probably your best bet, or use my source which is reliable.
I know that there are programs which will download files from Rapidshare for you, with restrictions, by accessing the file after the wait time. I would like to know if there is a program that will do the same thing but will not restrict me to downloading every 15 minutes. I would like to download as a Premium User without actually purchasing a premium account.
The program you are talking about is a download manager, and pre-July it used to work to download unrestricted in some cases (so like a premium account).
In July Rapidshare did an upgrade and closed all the loopholes and have maintained this rigourously so that there are no “cheats” unless you use a proxy (dodgey if you don’t know which one) or are able to change your IP address (even not guaranteed to work with some).
The net result is that no, there is no program which allows you to download as a premium user without a premium account.
Beware for spam or scam sites which ppl might post promising all kinds of things – they are usually referal sites (never work and just annoy all your friends) or spam/scam
Hello, I am a Mac user, and I have paid for premium accounts on Rapidshare and Hotfile. I will be downloading a lot of music off of both of these sites in the form of large-sized albums. Am I at risk of contracting viruses? Are ‘fake files’ common on these sites? Thank you.
Just as a basic education background: Yes, you are at risk of contracting viruses, & you can get viruses on Mac:
