i am also getting the same problems as larababa, using the "for gnome users" part of the guide.

checked my home directory and the .cookies directory does not exist.

at the end of the process i get this:

Cannot open cookies file `/root/.cookies/rapidshare': No such file or directory

any help would be great

Hi,
I used your script, but I've got only HTML pages (not files) from rapidshare (HTML pages with buttons to free or premium download)
Do you know how to download files ?

Thanks a lot.

Sorry guys. All I had to do was enable Direct download in my RS account.

Hi,

I was excatly looking for this kind of trick, thank you!

how bout axel? can we use axel to download rapidshare file?

wget --auth-no-challenge --user=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD -i rs.txt

make a rs.txt file in a dir and put the rs links in it then excecute this cmd

Nice tutorial im having my NAS box thats running busy box download the files it seems to be much much faster than old style browser downloads

@easier wget way:
Nice one!!
For some reason aria2c doesn't work on my Desktop anymore [only on my server] and wget with a cookie never worked.

That's a nice tip, withe --auth-no-challenge option, works a treat on my desktop!

Thanks again.

Why u dont using jdownloader from http://jdownloader.org/download ? It is perfect for free an premium users for all host sites.

The main reason I would use not to use Ubuntu in the past for all my premium rapidshare downloads, was I did not have enough knowledge of the software available. I have collected a few applications suitable for ubuntu and posted them on my blog. I hope this helps someone. http://ubuntudan.blogspot.com/...nager.html

This article was perfect. It worked perfectly for me, and I'd been looking for something like this.

Small change from RS:
