RapidShare Hack: Crack and Disable RapidShare download limit

RapidShare Hack: Crack and Disable RapidShare download
limit

RapidShare also limit free users, based on their IP address, to
certain download limit, and after reaching the limit, RapidShare will block your
IP address. To overcome RapidShare download limit, since it’s based on IP
address, the techniques to change or mask the IP address will come in useful to
hack the RapidShare.

There are several ways to change your IP address (or
at least showing different IP address to RapidShare). Whatever ways, you need to
clear your web browser’s cookies first.

1. Request new IP address from
ISP (for dynamic IP address Internet users only)

a. Click Start -> Run

b. Type cmd in the Open box, then click OK.
c. At the command prompt,
run the following commands one by one:

Code:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit

d. Try to download from RapidShare again.
e. Note: It’s possible
to put all the commands above into a batch file and simply run the batch file to
complete the IP changing process. To create the batch file, use Edit in command
prompt or Notepad, copy and paste the above commands into the editor, and save
the file with extension of .bat or .cmd (for Notepad, change the File Type to
All File too).

2. Use a proxy server, or a different proxy
server

You can get a list of available public proxy server easily by
searching “proxy server” in search engine such as Google or Yahoo!. Choose a
proxy server and note down its IP address and port number.

In Internet
Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN
Settings. Select (check) the option of Use a proxy server for your LAN. Then key
in the proxy server IP address and port in respective box. Click OK to
continue.

In Mozilla Firefox, go to Tools -> Options -> Connection
Settings. Then select (click) Manual proxy configuration and key in proxy server
information. Click OK to continue.

Obviously, once you hit the download
limit, you will need to change the proxy server again. There are tools that help
you to switch the proxy server automatically. In Internet Explorer, try Steganos
Internet Anonym 2006 from Steganos or Hide IP from V7soft. In Firefox, use the SwitchProxy
extension. Both software allow you to change the proxy server easily, with just
few clicks.

At some point, it hits all of us. One day you're chugging merrily along, and then you're staring at a machine that won't boot -- a machine that just happens to contain everything of importance to you. While some degree of disaster is inevitable, it's how you cope with it that counts.

While computers and file systems get more robust with each passing year, there's always going to be room for disaster recovery techniques. With open source solutions to help you recover from such messes, you're not tied to a proprietary product's costs or licensing agreements, and if you're so inclined you can rework the source code to meet your own needs.
