Rapidshare sets a download limit for free non-premium users. Once you exceed this limit, you'll have to wait for a certain time before you can download another file. Rapidshare tracks your IP address and places these limitations on it. You can get around this by showing the rapidshare servers a different IP address. There are several methods for doing this:

1. Request new IP address from your ISP:

-Click Start (in Windows)
-Click Run
-Type cmd.exe in the run box and click OK
-In the command prompt type the following:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit

-Now, erase cookies and restart download

This technique works only for dynamic IP addresses (most users). For static
IP addresses, use one of the other techniques.

2. JavaScript hack:

-In the download page, select FREE
-Type the following into the address bar: javascript:alert(c=0)
-Click OK
-Click OK on the pop-up
-Enter the captcha code and start download

3. Firefox and SwitchProxy hack:

- Download and install Firefox (if not using it already)
- Download and install SwitchProxy-Search Google for free proxy servers and use one in SwitchProxy
-When you reach download limit, change the proxy server in SwitchProxy.
