Cryptload is a software that makes it easier to download files from Rapidshare. The biggest advantage of this tool is that it can detect and automatically enter captchas on the Rapidshare website. Besides that it supports a tool called Router control which can reset routers to force a new IP address which in turn makes the downloads immediately available again getting rid of the wait timer effectively.

Cryptload can be configured to react on Rapidshare links that are posted to the clipboard which are then automatically added to the download queue. A log informs the user of return messages from Rapidshare and the downloads are neatly sorted in the download manager window.

The software supports several other file hosters besides Rapidshare including Megaupload and Netload with the possibility to add more hosters using so called plugins which are also available on the Cryptload homepage.

I would start by reading the Cryptload tutorial first which explains most settings and options. The newest version of Cryptload can be downloaded from the homepage as well. Unfortunately though it links to Rapidshare.

Searching Rapidshare with Rapidsharing is an alternative. The site lists available downloads from Rapidshare in eight categories including Software, Music and Games. A click on one item leads to a list of all available files in that category. I tried some downloads and all worked well at this time, it could however be that some get deleted eventually and are not accessible as well. Rapidshare seems to host a large amount of files of questionable content to put it this way. The software category contains download links to many full versions, at least that is what the name suggests.

I did not try and download those and they could very well be trojans or viruses instead of the product. The large video and celebrity section contains lot of, well how shall I say it, – adult – videos but also the occasional tv show. I would be very cautious downloading anything that has an executable from Rapidshare, make sure your scanner is up to date before you start unpacking and installing files.

I personally think that Rapidsharing offers a good alternative to Google searching Rapidshare. One should also consider that files uploaded to Rapidshare are supposed to be private. It could very well be that a user uploads a full version of a software that he purchased because he wants to install it on a different computer as well.

Rapidshare Hacks:

Speaking of Rapidshare Hacks: There is one little rapidshare hack available which sets the timelimit you have to wait to 0. Clear your address bar and add the following line to it “javascript:alert(c=0)”. This sets the rapidshare timelimit to 0 but does not change the download limit. The only way to reset the rapidshare download limit is to make rapidshare.de believe you are a new user. This can be done by either reconnecting to your ISP or by using proxys.
Reconnecting to your ISP is only working if they give out dynamic (changing) IPs to their users, if you have a static IP you will have to use proxies. You can check your ip here. Rapidshare sets a cookie which you will have to delete as well. (In Firefox go to Tools, Options. Select Privacy, Cookies, View Cookies and delete all rapidshare cookies.)

You can try the following commands instead of reconnecting. Open the windows command line (Start, Run, enter cmd, hit enter). Type the following commands, hit enter after each line:

If your IP remains the same you probably have a static IP that does not change at all. Your only option to avoid the rapidshare download limit is to use proxies and still clear the cookies in the browser that you are using. Do a search on google for “proxy lists” and you will find heaps of websites that offer proxies. Not all of them are working and you will have to verify that the proxy is a) fast enough and b) does not spill your real IP.

To do that you can simply add the proxy to your connections menu and try it out. Lookup your ip and see if the page loads fast. If you recieve errors or you see your real IP you have to find another proxy.

Rapidshare Tools:

Tools provide some additional features like managing the downloads, changing proxies, simultanious downloads by using more than one proxy and much more. Let us take a look at some of the rapidshare tools:

Rapidshare Link Grab Helper, the password for the rar file is “webxposed.de”. A pretty basic rapidshare tool. Add a rapidshare link, add a proxy, click grab, enter the image verification code, sent the rapidhare direct link to flashget.

Rapget, supports not only rapidshare.de but many other file hosting services like megaupload.com for example. The program has more options, it allows you to select a proxy list that it uses automatically while downloading from rapidshare or the other services. It offers simultanious rapidshare downloads, you can set timeouts, schedule downloads and paste links from files or the clipboard.

Grabber, looks similar to the rapidshare link grab helper with some additional options such as proxy and link checking.

Rapidleecher, offers basic functionality. Copy links, use proxies, enter image verification, get real download link and download the file.

Rapidshare Searches:

You need links to download files from rapidshare. One common method is to use google to search rapidshare.de by using googles site search command.

site:rapidshare.de RAR

This would search rapidshare.de for every link / page that includes the word rar.

You can also search google for sites that index rapidshare downloads, I won´t get into detail about those sites because they mostly link to illegal downloads. Try the search string “rapidshare links” for example.

Rapidshare Free Premium Accounts:

Rapidshare sometimes promotes free premium accounts. Head over to this rapidshare link to check if they currently offer free premium accounts.

You copy and paste a rapidshare link to (1), select a proxy from the list or chose to use no proxy at (2), click Grab at (3) and the verification image at (4) will appear.

A path to the file will appear at (5) and you can select a server to download it or add it to a download manager.

That´s the theory. You have to remember that the first downloads will work without proxy but you will reach one of the limits eventually and that´s the time when you will have to change your IP to continue downloading new files.

You could use google to find proxy servers in the format IP:Port and use a freeware application like Charon to verify them. The Grabber has an build in proxy checker as well but I´am used to Charon and did not test this one.

Another great feature is the Rapidshare Explorer which lets you search files using the well known google site: operator. Comes in handy as well.
