The most frequent problem that we(Malaysians) always get from using our ISP is slow connection to international sites. For locally hosted websites such as LowYat, there’s no such problem. Well, our Malaysian ISP TM Net has done it again, 2 weeks of really slow internet connection to international sites and they’re still not able to fix it. I find it really hard to even download a driver file from manufacturer’s website.
I am a big fan of Heroes and I wanted to use my RapidShare Premium account to download the latest Heroes episode 3×16. My maximum download speed is 1.5Mbps and I am downloading at only 238 bytes/sec, that is 0.2kilobytes per second!
Imagine this has been going on for 2 weeks. How humiliating… At first I waited patiently, keeping my fingers crossed hoping that this problem will last for a day or two but it just went on until today. Made me so fed up and I had to look for another method to download my favorite latest TV show.
Since this is a connection problem, rapidshare automated downloader tools such as jDownloader and CryptLoad are now totally useless. The solution to continue downloading from RapidShare is to install a transloading script on a web server hosted in Malaysia, and use the script to make your server download the file from RapidShare. Once the server finished downloading the file from RapidShare, I would then download from my server at maximum speed.
I found a free script called RapidLeech PlugMod rev. 36 that is able to do that. It supports downloading from RapidShare.com and 35 other file hosting servers such as 2shared.com, 4shared.com, adrive.com, depositfiles.com, downtown.vc, easy-share.com, filefactory.com, fileflyer.com, filego.net, files.to, filesend.net, gigasize.com, ifolder.ru, imageshack.us, letitbit.net, mediafire.com, megashare.com, megashares.com, megaupload.com, netload.in, rapidshare.de, savefile.com, sendspace.com, share-online.biz, sharebase.to, sharedzilla.com, speedyshare.com, turboupload.com, uploaded.to, uploading.com, uploads.bizhat.com, youtube.com, ziddu.com, zippyshare.com and zshare.net.
To download the latest RapidLeech script, you’d have to register at the forum in order to view the download link. Here’s a scenario on how to install the script on my www.mywebsite.com
Once I finished downloading the script, I extract and upload the contents to rapidleech folder on my web server using FTP client.
I then have to make the “files” folder writable for the script to download and dump the files there. If your websever is a linux server, simply right click on the folder, select CHMOD and check all so that the permissions will be set as 777. In Windows server, you’d have to ask the server administrator to set the file folder as writable.
Now I open up my browser, type www.mywebsite.com/rapidleech and I can start asking my server to download files from RapidShare by inserting the rapidshare link and hit the Transload File button.
When the server shows that it has finished downloading, I can then download the file to my computer by simply clicking on the link. As you can see that I can download the file that was in rapidshare at 150+KBps. For advanced users, you can take a look at the config.php in config folder. You can set restrictions and also use premium accounts if you have one.
This script is brilliant and will be very useful when your ISP has problems with international links or if your ISP has blocked you from file sharing websites. Even downloading from normal direct link works! If you want to make some money, you can even modify the script to provide premium download features to public and probably earn few hundreds of dollars per month via advertisement. Of course you will need a powerful server that allows a lot, if not unlimited bandwidth plus a large web space to store the downloaded files. Only one small problem that is the script must be constantly maintained and updated or else when some of the service gets updated, the script will fail to download or upload.

Thanks a lot for informing us about this script. It worked like magic after I had made some modifications in my server’s php.ini.
I also benefited a lot from some of the remarks made here.
Best regards
no offense but 128KB/sec sucks really badly…. either buy a better connection from another isp or a higher service from them. if its because you live in a third world country or one that has bad isp’s then grin and bear it. i used to have dialup and got crap speeds of 6Kb/sec and now i have cable and get like average of 2MB/sec to 3MB/sec….
Yes its actually easy I use Metahyper service, they limit registered users but you can transport from hotfile,rapidshare,megaupload and I think nedload , hope it helps you
Is there a way I can transfer files from my rapidshare account to…example, a Hotfiles account, and etc?
This script lets you transfer rapidshare files from any rapidshare download link to your own premium rapidshare account.
It’s actually possible to password protect your install. Just change the log/pass in the config.php file.
And yes if you close the browser window downloads keep going.
I transferred one file with no problems but with the second file gives me this error “Error getting download link” i have a premium account. please advise. and thanks.
Also, Ray, is there any way to change the ip address of the server after each file is downloaded, or any way to make RapidLeech find and use multiple proxy servers automatically, so it can concurrently download multiple files from the same host (or bypass any wait time limitations) without requiring a premium account?
Waiting for your response…
Hi Raymond,
I got a question on this. For those using rapidleech without a premium account, after downloading the first file they’d encounter the wait-time limitation. So the script isn’t much use if you haven’t got a premium account, right?
i got the speed around 150 – 200KB/sec every time i download the file using Rapidshare premium account. megaupload also reach almost similar speed.
so far, i’m happy with RS premium download, but perhaps should get better speed. > 300 KB/sec.
yay i would like to try
thx i hope this would work out
hey. i dony quite undertsand how to do this. can you explain further more
Great thanks Raymond awesome, now i can download from work :)
is it also possible to extract rar files on hosting server?
This actually looks fun to use hehe
I can think of many ways to have fun with this program, thnx for the share Raymond
yawn.. i like ur article..
i thought its easy to make my own rapidleech.
but i was wrong…maybe i should just buy some account.. :)
Just to add suggestion: once you setup the rapidleech, better you secure it by using .htpasswd if your server is on linux. If not, others will have access to your rapidleech and can manipulate it.
To Above comment^^ (ehsan69)
LOL, just lol…
if u want rapidshare, why unsecured??? ;p you are realy smart
Thanks for the info it looks interesting tool, I just downloaded 666ko file of flashrepair, apparently it has eqbal’s plugins already integrated, and now includes htaccess security file.
Some reported that megaupload don’t work wirh rapidllech plugmod rev. 36 T_
Well I use internet download manager and it does well its job for let say siles ranging from 500 to 1000 Mo, how vcan it be compared this RapidLeech PlugMod rev. 36 to the letter!, I also found up^that internet download manager cant download from some forum that I have an account there!
hi raymond plz can u give me only one rapidshare account even 1 month account that is unsecured plz send it to my address
ehsan69engineer@gmail.com
thanx in advance
thanks dear raymond,
can you introduce free linux host for this method?
thanks alot.
I tried this but it seems that all my download stops at 2mb and showed completed. Can u explain why?
things
One question raymond.
So if I set up a home server and use my ip as the address, then i will be able to transload the files from rapidshare to my PC. Is that correct?
This is awesome. I dont live in an area where rapidshare speed is affected, but this script gives me loads of options. It looks less dodgy downloading from my own domain. Allows me to steal youtube stuff. Awesome!
Down with Streamyx monopoly of Malaysian’s broadband. Buck up or be kicked out. All Malaysians viewers should refer to this.
bolehvpn.net/forum/index.php/topic,4029.0.html
don\\\’t even realized it is slow.. it\\\’s always been like that!
can we close the page while still downloading…?
Hi ray,
Can you recommend cheap and reliable hosting company that hosted web server in Malaysia
Thankx bro :D
So it really was Streamyx fault!! I thought it was my own problem but its been 5 days Im experiencing slow download speed …. That might be a good trick but I do not own any server nor I have the knowledge to set up 1 T.T , Guess ill just have to wait streamyx resolve this problem.
Wow thankx bro
really aswm!!
Whenever i try to download thing from rapidshare, it says i was downloading from multiple IP.
Been using this method to download from rapidshare for a long time, it is a good way since some rapidleech plugmod offer premium account to download too.
