-You should have a red icon with arrows pointing down when Flashget is running in your taskbar.
Right click on it and make sure that "monitor clipboard" is checked.

-It is important that you check the login to server box and input your login and pass to Rapidshare.



-Also make a new folder for your new downloads...try to keep folders for each type of media that you download its important to be organized because some files depending on what you want will be split archives
and everything will be cluttered if its all in one folder

-In a week you be happy you started organized because it makes everything much easier to find and use.

-Click the "..." box beside save to: and make sure they are going to your downloads folder or whatever you have made.

-HIT SAVE AS DEFAULT in the bottom left corner so you don't have to input your login and pass every time.

-Hit ok and let it go until ALL the parts have been downloaded (if you only have half the parts to a split archive...they are useless).

-When you go to your folder where it downloaded to your rar files will be there.

-When you right click now you should have more options hit extract here... (Click to enlarge picture)


-If it has a password you will have to go to where you found the links and copy and paste it.

-Most files don't have a password.

-You can also extract to a specific folder if you want to by right clicking and hitting extract to..

-If you double click any one of the rars you will be able to see what's inside before you extract the files if needed.

-If you cant extract because of a CRC error just redownload this happens sometimes from pausing and resuming downloads to many times.

-If you end up with a 5kb or 6kb file Rapidshare has deleted this file for copyright purposes or you have gone past your 25 GB limit.

once extracted its ready to play with!!

How to use Rapidshare ? How to get everything you ever wanted ?

What is Rapidshare? How to use Rapidshare ? How to get everything you ever wanted.?

If you’re looking to learn about Rapidshare and file sharing you have come to the right place. If you don’t already know what Rapidshare is, prepare to be blown away. In this blog I will be fully explaining what Rapidshare is and how to use it and if you’re like most people reading this right now you probably have no idea what Rapidshare actually is.

So let’s begin. RapidShare is basically a German One-click hosting site that operates from Switzerland and is financed by the subscriptions of paying users. It operates as a pay service, allowing any member to upload files of up to 100MB. The user is then supplied with a unique download URL, which locates the file and enables anyone with whom the uploader shares it to download the file.

More simply all this means is that Rapidshare has a bunch of these servers; these servers are loaded with anything and everything you could ever think of. Every game, every program/application, every movie, every song, every e-book, literally anything that can be stored on a hard drive, you can find on the Rapidshare servers. Basically anything you’re looking for your guaranteed to find. Missed an episode of your favorite TV series?, no worries you can download that episode right away. Need some expensive computer software, you got it! You can even download e-books on pretty much anything you can think of. But that’s not all, its gets better; Rapidshare is extremely fast when it comes to downloads. I’m talking downloading full DVD quality movies in a matter of 10-20 minutes. You are not capped, you can download as fast as your internet can possibly go.

Rapidshare is such a big site, it is ridiculous. In fact the original website was www.rapidshare.de, but the servers got full and they started www.rapidshare.com. It ranks as one of the most visited websites in the world, and as far as traffic goes it competes with the major websites like Google and Yahoo. You can check out their rating on Alexa. Click here

Now you might be asking, where do all these files and games and movies come from? The answer is you! There are literally thousands of people uploading tons of information every second of every day on Rapidshare. Now this doesn’t mean, you gotta start uploading stuff, if you just want to download stuff, that’s perfectly fine.

So at this point you’re probably convinced that Rapidshare is all you'll ever need when it comes to getting any type of file on the internet, and the truth of the matter is your absolutely right. You really don’t need anything besides this service.

So now you’re probably wondering what exactly the catch is. Well like all good things in life, there is a cost involved. Rapidshare is however free, but if you’re a serious downloader you’re gonna eventually want to get a premium account. The difference is much faster downloads, and you will soon realize that getting a premium account is mandatory. When you upload a file to Rapidshare it gets broken down into a bunch of links, each file will be on average 100mb. So if you upload a 600 megabyte movie there will be 6 files to download. If you have premium access you just copy and paste the links into a program called Flashget (this is all fully explained in the tutorial section, click the downloading link for more information) and let it automatically download all the files. Just set it and forget it. However, if you’re a free user and don’t have premium access you have to download the files individually one by one, you can’t download more than 1 file at a time and you have to wait a certain period of time between downloads, usually a couple of minutes to an hour. The whole process of downloading becomes very tedious.

Now you may be wondering where to find all the links to download all the great stuff that you want. The reality is that there are Rapidshare forums and links all over the internet. Just search in this site for any rapidshare files you want Rapidshare Search Engine http://rapidsharesearchengines.blogspot.com/

So how much does it exactly cost? Well depending on how long of a subscription you want you can expect to pay anywhere from 10 dollars for a 1 month subscription, or around 23 dollars for a 3 month subscription. You can also get subscriptions up to 1 year.

The prices are very affordable when you consider all the great stuff you'll be downloading. What makes it even better is that if you upload files you can accumulate points, which in turn extend the life of your subscription. So if you upload enough you can prolong the life of your premium access to Rapidshare for however long you chose. But once again this is not mandatory.
