Downloaders for the popular file hosting website Rapidshare seem to be very popular software development projects. They usually come with the same feature set allowing Rapidshare users to queue up downloads, setup Rapidshare premium accounts and import text links pointing to Rapidshare downloads.
RapidWareX was recently updated with the ability to stream audio and video directly from the Rapidshare servers. This new feature is currently only working with video files that have been encoded with the Divx codec and audio files that have the mp3 file extension. The video can consist of a single avi file, a collection of uncompressed and unencrypted rar archives or a collection of HJSplit files.
The Rapidshare Downloader requires a working Rapidshare account to download or stream files from the file hoster. That’s a bit unfortunate and a distinct disadvantage in comparison to other Rapidshare download managers such as the Rapidshare download manager JDownloader.
Links can be added to RapidWareX in various ways including copying pasting them directly in the application, pasting html from the clipboard or loading links from files that are stored on the local computer system. Quite a few options are available that make the downloading process more comfortable. The program can retry downloads, display the remaining download traffic, offers a remote interface and secure links over https.
The program offers a build in Rapidshare search module which will redirect the requests to a website that is displaying the search results. RapidWareX is a free download for the Windows operating system and requires the Microsoft .net Framework 3.5 to run.

Rapidshare download managers are indeed a popular software category, and there have been several articles at GHacks about them.
How about a group test, comparing their features and functionality – I’ve tested some myself and found that although most of them are very similar, others simply don’t work or are not updated often enough to deal with the changes on Rapidshare, while others come loaded with spyware.
A review of the various programs in this category would be quite useful.
Here are some that I have found in this site and others:
* CryptLoad (link)
* JDownloader (link)
* RapGet (link)
* RapidShare Download Accelerator (link)
* RapidDownload (link)
* RapidWareX (link)
* Raptor (link)
As some of you might have noticed our googlesites has exceeded it’s banwidth limit.
The latest version of RapidWareX therefor can be found here awaiting the reactivation of the website:
