    Hi guys,

    As the title says rapidshare is not working with any download manager for me.

    I normally use rapget, and it was working fine untill yesterday, then it crashed. And now crashes everytime i load it up and try to download.

    Tried Orbit Downloader, Flashget and Free Download manager, and the all just download 17kb files for each link. They appear as if they downloaded correctly (as in none of them throw up errors). I typed my premium account user name and pass into all of these

    I'm using a premium account, which there should be nothing wrong with as im able to download the links in my web browser.

    Any one have any suggestions?

    "Internet download Manager" is one of the best and GREATLY improves speeds.

    Here: http://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/

    I used to use Rapget too until I discovered this absolute gem of an app.
    The difference it makes in speed downloading is awesome.

    You say you have a problem, is it speed related too?

    Have you tried turning off the net modem for 30 seconds,re-connect and see if the line refreshes as regards speed with a new connection?

    the problem is you have not enabled direct downloads on you RS account , no download manager is going to work untill you do this , log on to RapisShare.com and check the box to enable direct downloads in your account options

    Check you've entered in the correct username and password in the download manager.

    I use flashget, saved settings so that server login is my rapidshare UN & PW (Important), and it works perfectly with rapidshare premium :).

    it is downloading html file with error webpage. change extension to html and open with your browser.

    most probably you exceeded your download limit ;)
