Previously I’ve shared with you on how to download multiple files from RapidShare automatically using Orbit download manager. If you don’t like to use Orbit, you can use a small DOS tool called gRapid to automate downloading of files without having to attend to them. Both methods requires you to have a premium account. If you don’t have a premium account, you can use third party tools such as Cryptload or (E)lephant to renew your IP address and continue downloading without limits.

Today I will share with you an official tool released by RapidShare.com. Finally RapidShare has their own free download manager to handle all downloads and uploads from RapidShare. This is of course if you have a premium account, you can make full use of the program. If you are a free user or have a collectors account, you can still use RapidShare Manager to upload your files to RapidShare.


The RapidShare Manager (RSM) is a user friendly tool to upload and download files from RapidShare.com. The multiple setting possibility’s allow the professional up- and downloading for beginners and experienced users. Upload is possible for premium, collector’s and free user. As for download, I’m sorry to say that it is only for Premium users UNLESS the file is set to direct-download.

I will show you a short walkthrough on how to use RapidShare Manager to download multiple rapidshare links.

1. Run RapidShare Manager and go to Account/Configuration tab.

2. Click Add button at the login area and enter your login for premium account and password. Check use this account and click OK.

3. Go to Download tab, and click Add button. Paste the rapidshare links at the top box and click Take Links button. You can also set the location where the downloaded files be saved to.

4. Click Download button. You can set the maximum number of parallel downloads running. Maximum is 5. If you’re able to maxed out your download speed, then I’d advice you to set it to 1.

RapidShare Manager requires you to have Microsoft .NET Framework installed. I found a small bug in the program which is you can’t add more than 1 rapidshare premium account. They should also add a feature to auto shutdown computer after finish downloading. From what I see, it’s still a very new download manager for rapidshare that works, but can be improved.

One thing I’m unsure of is the upload limit for premium user. At RapidShare’s website, it stated that premium users can upload files with a file size up to 4000MB but at the program it says up to 2000MB. No matter whether it’s 4000MB or 2000MB, files bigger than 100 MB can only be downloaded by Premium users, unless the files have been a direct download and the traffic is paid by the file holder. I’m pretty sure not many people would actually upload file size that big when you can easily split it.
