Rapidshare places limitations on the IP addresses of free users. A non-premium user has download limits and has to wait for a certain time before he can start a download.
Various hacks exist to overcome these limits. If you have a dynamic IP address, you just have to renew your IP address to obtain a fresh download ticket from rapidshare and bypass the wait time. This can be done as shown below:
1. Click START
2. Click RUN
3. In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK
4. Type the following in the command prompt:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit
5. Erase cookies and restart download
The above hack works only if you have a dynamic IP address. Try the javascript hack given below if you have a static IP address:
1. Select FREE in the download page
2. In the address bar, type: javascript:alert(c=0)
3. Click OK and on the pop-up, click OK again
4. Enter captcha code and start download
If you are using Firefox, try the following hack:
1. Download Firefox and install (if not already installed)
2. Download SwitchProxy and install
3. Search Google for a free proxy server and use it in SwitchProxy
4. Change the proxy server once you reach download limit
