Here are some hints to help you more efficently use rapidshare. Skipping waiting
time and bypassing download limits are rapidshare that everybody should
know.
Rapidshare has been an excellent tool for sharing large files. Recently users
have discovered ways of bypassing the download limits and skipping the waiting
time. Here are a description of these methods.
RapidShare: NIC tricks and MAC cloning to bypass download limit
Rapidshare traces the users IP address to limit each user to a certain amount of
downloading per day. To get around this, you need to show the rapidshare server
a different IP address.
Here are some methods for doing this:
1. Short-Out the JavaScript:
1. Goto the page you want to download
2. Select FREE button
3. In the address bar put the following: javascript:alert(c=0)
4. Click OK
5. Click OK to the pop-up box
6. Enter the captcha
7. Download Your File
2. Request a new IP address from your ISP server.
Here's how to do it in windows:
1. Click Start
2. Click run
3. In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK
4. When the command prompt opens type the following. ENTER after each new
line.
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit
5. Erase your cookies in whatever browser you are using.
6. Try the rapidshare download again.
Frequently you will be assigned a new IP address when this happens. Sometime
you will, sometimes you will not. If you are on a fixed IP address, this
method will not work. To be honest, I do not know how to do this in
linux/unix/etc. If this works for you, you may want to save the above commands
into a batch file, and just run it when you need it.
3. Use a proxy with SwitchProxy and Firefox:
1. Download and install Firefox if you have not already
2. Download and install SwitchProxy
3. Google for free proxies
4. When you hit your download limit, clean your cookies and change your proxy
4. Use an anonymous service:
Running your system through the tor network should in theory work; however, it
is difficult to use and setup. Plus, you allow others to run their evil deeds
through your system as well by using this system. Anonymizer 2005 is
inexpensive, easy to use, but not free. Other pay services would likely work
as well.
5. You can use a bookmarklet to stop your wait times:
1. Open IE
2. Right Click On This Link
3. Select Add to Favorites
4. Select Yes to the warning that the bookmark may be unsafe.
5. Name it "RapidShare No Wait"
6. Click on the Links folder (if you want to display it in your IE toolbar)
7. Click OK
8. You may need to close and reopen IE to see it
9. Goto rapidshare and click the bookmarklet when you are forced to wait
Enjoy!!!!
