Thread: Rapidshare (Learn how to bypass waiting periods)

Learn how to beat the Rapidshare waiting periods!!!

Note: This depends on what sort of IP address your ISP provides
If you have a dynamic address - go ahead, it should reset every time you log on to your server
If, however, you have a static IP address - you can only change it by contacting
your ISP & asking them for a new IP address.
Not much use if you have to do this for every single link.

How to Bypass the waiting period

- You need to clear your browsercache
- You need a new IP-address
Step 7: Clearing the browsercache 1



Before you can download the next part from the Rapidshare servers you need to make sure that Firefox deletes all cookies when closing the application. You need to check Tools\Clear Private Data\.


Step 8: Clearing the browsercache 2



Make sure that all the displayed options are selected. Press the button "Clear Private Data Now" and Close Firefox after this step.


Step 9: Getting a new IP



After closing Firefox you need to get a new IP-address. In most cases there are two ways to be connected to the internet. You can be connected to the internet with a ROUTER (WLAN) or with a common PPP-Connection (shown at the picture below).

1. Getting a new IP with a Router:
The easiest way to get a new IP is to press the routers power swich. After 3 secounds press the swich again and the router will reconnect to the internet with a new IP.

2. Getting a new IP with a PPP-Connection:
You just need to open your running PPP-Connection and press disconnect. Now you need to open a new PPP-Connection and press "Connect or Dial" (Shown in step 9)



Step 10: Reconnect with a new IP-address



After closing the connection to the internet you need to reconnect. Open a new PPP-Connection and reconnect to the internet. Now you should have a new IP-address.


Step 11: Ready to download the next file



Now you can download the next file hosted on Rapidshare. Open the Rapidshare download url of the file you want to download with the Firefox Web browser and press the "FREE BUTTON"


Step 12: No waiting limit appears



If no waiting period appears at this step you've successfully cheated Rapidshare. You can download the next file without a waiting period. You have to repeat step 6 - 9 after every single download.


If waiting period appears at step 12 !!!



If the waiting period appears at step 12 you did something wrong. Please check step 7 - 11 again and make sure you followed the steps correctly.

I really agree with Drunken_Ninja.... and (hehe) Om Kapoor you should't have said such thing to a co-admin... what to they learn you in school these days?

anyways thank you very much DN ... this is really a big help to me.... whish i could spread +rep to you but i have to wait soo untill next time you have to wait... great faq i really liked it... saves me money for not buying an account..

great man u have done an excellent job .. keep it up

thanx for this man,rep++,but I have to wait to give you,lol

great Tutorials @DN, Almost similiar with me.
i usually do this :
Clean up IE or netscape or Firefox cookie( In this case the one that belong to rapidshare website)

On Command prompt (open MS-DOS)
type -----> ipconfig /flushdns <---Enter
type -----> ipconfig /release <---Enter
type -----> ipconfig /renew <---Enter
type -----> exit <--------Enter

Or save these commands in a bat file and run it everytime you need to "fool" Rapidshare server. Remember to clean up rapidshare cookie in your temp Internet files folder.

Now you should be ready to download/upload as many files as you want from their server.

another way, get proxies from the internet and apply to the browser.
some of proxies might not work though...

Note:
If you are on a LAN and behind a router (using NAT, for example)---this will not work.
If you use a fixed proxy--- this will not work.
If you have a fixed IP address from your ISP or college or employer or whatever -- this will not work.
If you happen to get the same IP address from your DHCP server because it's assigned to you -- this will not work

Just do it. LoL. and you have a lifetime RS premium account.
