Rapidshare problem solutions

[Leone]

If you need help with Rapidshare this is the topic to get help.

Also if you know a solution post it here.

 

 

Basic instruction:

 

1. Click on the Rapidshare link (do not rightclick and save since it's a webpage)

2. Scroll down and press "Free"

Remember you don't need to create an account or pay for anything.

3. On the next page wait for 40-20 seconds (you can see a countdown) and fill in the 3-digit code and press "Start download". (if you're colourblind then poor you! )

If you wait too long you'll get a message on the next page "Download-session invalid. Please click here" - and do so.

 

Before - the limit was 50 MB per hour, now it's 100 MB - which means you cannot download more the 100 MB per hour. Then you need to wait 1H before you can download again.

 

You need to download through explorer/windows and NOT with other softwares such as GetRight (if the connection breaks they can resume the downloading). Turn off those softwares if you have them.

 

If your connection breaks during your download then you'll have to download allover again. Your file might appear ok but it's probably incomplete/corrupted.

 

If you still have problems the it must be something with your IP.

Follow these instructions and they might help you.

Here's the solution:

 

I'm pretty sure each and everyone having that problem uses AOL as provider or the AOL browser. It sets up a proxy server to your registry, which can't be found. But there's a way to trick it.

 

Go to your Config Panel - Internet Options - Connections.

 

For the following step you need to evaluate 3 things.

 

1. Find your IP adress... on http://www.whatismyip.com/

 

2. Find out if you use a Cable Modem (LAN)

 

3. Find out if you use a DSL Modem.

 

Ok

 

You have your IP adress and then:

 

In Internet Options - Connections do this if you have:

 

Cable: click on LAN settings, enable proxy and enter your own IP adress and port 80 (port 80 is the browser's port)

 

DSL. Click on your Modem or Ethernet Card shown in the white field in "connections" and hit "settings".

 

There same, check the "Proxy Server" enter your own Ip as found on http://www.whatismyip.com/ and again port 80.

 

Click OK and APPLY.

 

Now surf to rapidshare and download your file.

It takes a little longer to connect to rapidshare now, cause it first tries the AOL proxy and then overrides with your own " real " IP adress.

 

After you downloaded, undo the settings or just uncheck "Proxy Server".

 

Do that again when you want to download another file.

But note: Some "most" providers change your IP at least 1x a day.. so it's necessary to check the current IP and enter that one and not the one you've used before... always use http://www.whatismyip.com/ to find your actual IP.

cliquez sur le lien rapidshare (ne faites pas clic droit et enregistrer la cible sous c'est un lien vers un site internet)

faites défiler la page et cliquez sur "free" il n est pas nécessaire de créer un compte ou de payer pour quoique ce soit.

il faut attendre entre 30 et 40 secondes puis entrer dans la case les chiffres et les lettres qui s'affichent au bout de ce lapse de temps. cliquez ensuite sur "start download", n attendez pas trop longtemps sinon votre cession de téléchargement expirera.

Avant la limite de téléchargement était de 500mb par heure, désormais il est de 100Mb, ce qui est mieux. En d'autres termes vous ne pouvez télécharger plus de 100MB par heure si vous dépassez cette limite il vous faudra attendre une heure pour télécharger un autre fichier.

Il faut télécharger par explorer/windows et non avec d autres softwares comme getright (si la connexion se coupe ils faut recommencer le téléchargement) fermez donc ces programmes.

Si la connexion se coupe il vous faudra retélécharger le fichier complètement puisque même s'il apparaît celui-ci sera incomplet voire corrompu.

I never ever see a countdown on the second page. And rapidshare keeps saying I've already downloaded stuff when I haven't downloaded anything.

Maybe you have an IP adress that is shared by many people, therefore you get that message. Have you tried to find your own peronal IP and apply it to your settings like described above??

[corr_azy]

After I've checked Proxy Server, it keeps asking me to give my username and password. And when I do, it doesn't work. is there some username and password specific for this site? Thank you so much for your help!

When you come to settings, choose connections, and there should be an "advanced" button (don't know what it is in english.. my windows is in swedish).

As far as I know password and username is for your internet provider and not for Rapidshare. Try to check the box "get password and username automatically" or fill in your providers usrn & pass.

[corr_azy]

There isn't any Advanced button under Connections, there is only an Advanced tab along with the Connections tab, which doesn't include getting username and password automatically. Lol, i don't even have any idea what they are. Thanks so much for your help again!

[Koolan]

[cannonball]

on every rapidshare.de link I'm getting told that it can't find rapidshare.de, but anything rapidshare.com works just fine.
