How to Download Files from Rapidshare.com

After knowing where to download the files, then you need to know, how to download the files?

You have visited the forums and decided to download a file from Rapidshare. What you need to do is to copy and paste the link to your browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox and open the link.

The link will lead you to rapidshare ready for download. To download the file, you have to choose either with Free User atau Premium User.

Honestly, you may download as a free user but there is some time restriction for same IP downloads and the speed is definitely slower. With Free User, you will definitely can't have multiple downloads at the same time. To download faster and more smoothly, I would recommend getting your own premium account for the price of around 7 Euro a month.

Files that are being uploaded to Rapidshare are normally between 100MB to 200MB. For MP3 songs, 200MB may accomodate at least 40 songs but for DIVX video files which are normally in the size of 700MB or MKV files which size are between 1.5GB to 4.5GB, the videos need to be break into a few files.

Normally, a software called WINRAR will be used to break the video file into few parts. You also need the WINRAR software in order to extract and combine the video file after downloading. WINRAR can be downloaded freely from www.rarlab.com/download.htm

Instead of downloading one by one from your web browser, there is a simpler and faster way to download files if you are using Rapidshare Premium. The way is by using a downloader called Jdownloader. Proceed to Chapter 2: How to Use JDownloader
