Sorry if I'm late to the game here, but does anyone have a surefire way to get around the rapidshare download, "wait 15 minutes" limit? Restarting or asking for a new IP doesn't seem to do it...do I have to mask my MAC address?

    I usually just wait 15 minutes.

  • Google around. I remember reading about something you can type in the command prompt which gets around it.

  • i don't think that prompt way works anymore since they got rid of captcha on their downloads, its now either wait or pay for one of their premium accounts.

    co-sine on paying for the premium account. It ends up being about $9.50 US per month. I've never downloaded enough to warrant getting an account in the past, but recently I won a contest [free account for a month] and have to say the dl speeds make torrents seem prehistoric. The only down side is DL overload.

    yes, definately, when i had a premium account with them i was downloading anything & everything i could find on blogs etc- i had some real terds on my hard drive for a while afterwards!
