Rapidshare - Page 2

euler · February 4th, 2008, 07:35 AM

Maybe the choice of the mirror is region dependant. When I choose Global Crossing, it crawls. I just wanted to know other's experiences. Again, if i choose the direct d/l option do i have to individually click on each RS link or can i copy and paste a set of links to somewhere on RS and have them downloaded? or do i have to use flashgot to do this? I am not clear as to what to do based on the answers given, due more to my inexperience than to your lack of clarity. I apologize. Please explain.

I don't get this - rapidshare.de downloads are no problem. Just hit "free", it counts down and you can download every time. On rapidshare.com, however you hit "free", and when it finishes counting down, ten-to-one when you hit the download button, it sends you a "download session invalid" message.
Infuriating!
Any ways around this, without having to purchase a rapidshare premium account?

I have exactly the same problem - I've never been able to download from Rapidshare, Megaupload, or any big file sharing site on a 'free' basis.
I always get a message that says 'invalid session', or they tell me I've reached my download limit, when in reality I've downloaded nothing!
In my case it's an ISP issue. As far as I know it's because my connection is routed through a 'proxy server' with everyone else who uses the same ISP.
Rapidshare is able to detect this and as soon as 100MB [or whatever] is downloaded they 'pull the plug'.
I tried using 'Rapget' as DubSalute suggested, but it still didn't work for me... it might work for you though, so it's worth a try.
One alternative is to use your own 'Proxy server', but it's a lot of hassle. It's not easy to find a free one that works, some are very slow, they don't last very long and there are serious security issues.

In the end I decided to buy a Premium account from Rapidshare [It's not a lot of money for what you get] which works perfectly with 'Rapget' - which is a great bit of software!

Hi barryjoel, dshell is correct that there some providers that use a proxy server (to save bandwidth) and instead of you making direct contact to RS or a other file host you connect to it via the proxy. RS and many other file hosts use the IP adress of the requester to regulate the downloads from their service so when you contact them and many try to access it sharing the same proxy server then the chance is very big that you will get denied.

Thats also stated in the rapidshare.com FAQ:

Your system complaints about that I am already downloading files or that I have already downloaded too much. But I did not download anything! Whats wrong there?

Our system checks your IP-address in order to count the downloads. If you are getting this message and you really did not download anything, then you are using a proxy-server, which is used by other people as well. Even if you have no proxy-server set up in your configuration, there are many providers who force a transparent proxy-servers between you and the net. If you do not believe us, go to other pages telling you your IP-address (for example http://www.myipaddress.com.) But what can you do? You have to disable this proxy-server. If you are not able to disable the proxy-server, the only solution IS a Premium-account. Premium-users are recognized by cookies, not by IP-address. Unfortunately we cannot disable our IP-check, else people would download so much that we would have to close down this service completely. I hope you understand our situation in this matter.

You can check if you are on a proxy server here: Lagado Proxy Test

Could be a reason that rapidshare.de is still working for you because almost nobody uses it anymore ...

No programs other browsers will help solve your problem when your internet service provider (ISP) uses a (transparent) proxy.

When you are on a proxy then it will leave you only two valid options when you want to download from rapidshare.com cause using a free proxy like also dshell states doesn't realy work it is realy part slow and a hassle its not worth the effort.

Leaving you with RS premium, it will work cause it uses cookies instead of IP adress or you could consider changing your internet service provider when thats not to much trouble, best then is to inform in a OK computerstore if there are options for good internet providers without a proxy where you live before making the switch.

well, besides the obvious thing that your internet connection has failed - there might be other reasons.

You say this happens when you try to upload certain files...

Check the type of file you are trying to upload. In some cases you can be denied access if the file type is unknown. I have experienced that changing the .mpeg ending of a file to .mpg solved this problem. .jpeg to .jpg and so forth.

Rapidshare has a small program called "rapiduploader" that is free to download and use.
I have tried it and finds it more reliable than uploading over my browser.

Hope it might be of some help.

monz78 · March 16th, 2008, 01:23 AM

No it really doesn't matter the file types. .mpg .avido the same thing. I can try them and they don't work. Try a different one and it works right away. Then then try the same one later on and it works. It's kind of strange.
