How To: Byepass the Rapidshare data download limit

Rapidshare limits each user to a certain amount of downloading per day based on the users IP address. You can easily cheat rapidshare by showing a different IP address.

  1. Clear your browser cookies.
  2. Open the command prompt (Start - Run - cmd.exe)
  3. Run the following simple commands:

    4. ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew

  4. Type exit to close the DOS window. Restart the rapidshare download job.

This trick may not work if your ISP has assigned you a static IP address.

If Rapidshare block your IP, change proxy

Rapidshare might block an IP from download for sometime. To byepass this restriction, change your IP. First obtain a IP and it’s port from publicproxyservers.com. Then use that IP and port in your browser Connection settings window. Click OK.

  • del.icio.us direc.tor is a prototype for an alternative web-based rich UI for del.icio.us.The main features are:

    1. In-browser handling of del.icio.us bookmarks (tested up to 12,000 records).
    2. Find-as-you-type searching of all your bookmarks, with basic search operators

    How do I use it?

    Because of the restrictions on the browser, you’ll need to load this using a Javascript bookmarklet. Follow these four steps to get started:

    1. Create a bookmarklet by bookmarking the following link:
      del.icio.us direc.tor
    2. Go to any page on del.icio.us
    3. Launch the bookmark you just created while you are still on the del.icio.us page
    4. Login to del.icio.us, if prompted.
    5. Type in a search term or click a tag in the browser; click the column headings to sort
