Rapidshare is one of the biggest file hosters on the web and has a remarkably confusing interface and system that confuses many users at the same time. This could have been designed to be this way on purpose to up-sell premium accounts to users who do not want to wait before they can download a file from Rapidshare.

Rapidshare is probably still the biggest file upload site on the internet. It is also one of the messiest and hard to work out sites that I came upon. There is no way to search for files hosted on Rapidshare.com itself. The only way that was known to me was to use a Google search exclusively for Rapidshare. (site:Rapidshare.com keywords) This is not an ideal situation, many links found by Google are already dead at Rapidshare and the overall process takes to much time.

Rapidshare hacks, downloaders for rapidshare, no timelimit, unlimited downloads, free premium accounts. Those are some of the keywords that users are looking for. I thought it would be nice to write a definite guide about rapidshare. Which rapidshare hacks, tools and tricks are working, which are not. Rapidshare imposes a download and timelimit on non premium users of their service. Downloading from Rapidshare is only possible with one connection at a time and rapidshare limits the size of the files that you download to 30 megabytes every hour.

This freeware application might be useful to some who are still downloading from rapidshare. You will need some experience with proxies, I´ll get to that later. As we all know rapidshare.de has a timelimit and a downloadlimit for every IP address that connects to their service. Now, what would be a great way to circumvent those limits ? Right, change your IP address and you are ready to download again. You could do this by manually changing the proxy server in your browsers settings or you could use a tool like the grabber.
