Raptor manages downloads for Rapidshare Free users

Using any "helper" to download rapidshare file is actually against their terms and condition. I've written a similar program for my own use (and for some friends too), but I dare not distribute due to the ruling.

I don't read Russian. I think I put the ticks in their proper boxes but get some error. Tried multiple variations of tick placement but no go.
