RapGet Download Manager
by Brad Linder Feb 19th 2008
RapGet doesn't require Java, supports 50 languages, more than 60 file hosting sites, and doesn't spit out German text at you when the language is set to English.
The program doesn't attempt to get around download limits in any way. If you have a paid account with a service like RapidShare, you can use RapGet to manage your downloads. But you can also use it with free accounts. It will automatically enter CAPTCHA codes for you, download one file at a time, and wait a specified period of time before attempting to download your next file.
[Thanks NyaR!]

it might interest you to know that for rapidshare.COM you dont need to use third party apps anymore because they recently launched a custom Rapidshare download manager.
any anyways, rapget stopped working properly a while ago..
here is the link for the proper rapidshare download manager

What are you talking about, Rapget still works perfectly fine. I used it today in fact.

So the purpose of CAPTCHAs has been defeated?

no but with this you dont need to use the captcah isnt needed when you have a paid account.
its not a dodgy way around, its just a way to download if you have a paid account.
thats not right either, rapget works fine, i have downloaded 4 gigs today with it with my rs account, and has worked fine for me since i got it.
And to the staff, it should be mentioned this only works for normal files, if the file on rapidshare.com is over 100mbs it freezes when you try to download the file.
And the official rs.com app is all good and well IF you only download from rs.com, if you use other sites such as megaupload as well as rs you can use the 1 program, and this is much better than megauploads.
Not to mention i find it odd for this to be on here as its a legal program, but i have never seen rs or any site used to hosting legal files.

I tried using this with a bunch of Megaupload links, but it never downloaded anything...it just rotated through the links ad infinitum. Am I doing something wrong?

I had the same problem with them. I think they changed how their links work . . .

I had no idea rapidshare.com had an official client. I remember the one at rapidshare.de worked quite well.
Rapget isn't bad, it's certainly improved form the earlier versions.
