Long story short, after 4 days of testing and almost loosing patience, I ended up with a little jewel of a downloader that goes by the name of FreeRapid Downloader, Current version is FreeRapid Downloader 0.81, released on 16th January 2009.
I reviewed about a half a dozen "free" Rapidshare downloaders. txt file of rapidshare links or monitor the clipboard', (d) Be stable / reliable, (e) Be free to use / donationware. no install necessary so I can use it at work :), (c) Should be able to accept a. My pass / fail requirements that I came up with off the top of my head were simple: (a) Program must support free rapidshare users, (b) Must be capable of standalone operation (i.e. I love it because I know that after I'm done, I will have optimised the efficiency of said task, thus saving my time in the future and extending my life expectancy :) Using this instructable I hope to save some precious time out of your lives, just as various other instructables have done for me. So I went off and looked at most of the options available, benchmarked them I review here my findings along with brief information on how to "click-and-forget" rapidshare downloads, and most imporantly, for FREE! Next we see what my expectations were out of a good RapidShare Downloader > someone had already done it! Turns out there are several free rapidshare downloaders. I recently came across some files that I wanted to grab, that I couldn't find anywhere else, so I sat though the "download & wait for 15 min to download another file" process, before thinking of a way to make an automatic downloader from Rapidshare, using some code I was toying with a couple of months ago. There are several p2p (peer-to-peer) fileshareing programs out there, but the recent rise of File Depositories, such as Rapidshare cannot be overlooked. I myself admit whole-heartedly to being an anime freak and complete narutard. We have fast internet connections, large hard drives and even larger appetites for digital media of all sorts. I also remember the time when 1GB was 25% of your total hard drive storage space! But today technology had moved in leaps and bounds and we're riding the wave along with it. I remember just a few years ago, downloading a 1GB file off of the Internet was completely unheard of.
