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. You
can do this one of multiple
ways.
Requesting 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.
