Rapidshare searching and downloading

Zascar

It really annoys me how when searching for something on Rapidshare using Google, many times most of the results n the first few pages are not actually proper results, but they are just sites to capture hits and bounce you to other sites. So annoying. Any good way to filter these out or use a differnt type of search?

Also, I've recently switched to chrome as my primary browser. I use Internet Download Manager - but it cannot integrate into Chrome, so i have to open Firefox again every time. Kinda annoying. Any good way around this?

Cheers

Try this:
"what you are looking for" site:rapidshare.com

Works for me.:D

Just to add to this, I believe you can make this your default search, maybe not in chrome but in some browsers it would be something like TEST site:rapidshare.com :P

Would be handy alright

+1 for the site:rapidshare.com

May be no harm to check out few forums also as some of the files are passworded

Guys re the problem of using Chrome, and being able to highlight links and Right click to download, what better way around this is there?

Surely there is a different download manager that I can just dump all the links into it and it will download them? Any suggestions?

If you have a RS premium account why not use the rapidshare manager? works for me.

You'll find it in rapidtools

Free download manager is a great downloader. You can have it automatically take over any downloads.

I use "jdownloader" When you highlight the files and select copy, the links are copied in jdownloader manager. Don't forget to you need to put your rapidshare or hotfile username and password into the program.
Jdownloader also picks up the RS or HF file password and extracts the zip automatically

I recently started using JDownloader too after having used Flashget for a couple of years. I like how JDownloader automatically extracts the files when done. It also lets you know how far below your rapidshare cap you are (how much you can still download on any given day). Thumbs up!

Really! That's amazing, how? Passwords can be a real pain sometimes, extracting too. I'll deffo give this a shot

I've been using RS premium for a couple of years now and
Internet Download Manager(IDM) > Flashget > * > JDownloader

JDownloader is only good if you haven't got premium

Zascar

I have premium. IDM is best then? Hmmmm

I have my rapidshare and hotfile permium accounts both working in Jdownloader. It works fine for me.

I never said it didn't work, its just a bit bloated and sluggish

I have the standalone version though, maybe the other version is better?

we all know your not using it for Linux ISO's have abit of sense, also leaving spaces in what is being typed as a warez site does not make it ok on ANY level
