Downloading from rapidshare
So you noticed a lot of links are on rapidshare, eh? Aye. That's a lot of files to handle. And with rapidshare's restrictions... a lot of work! Now lets make this simple. Download a program called rapget from http://rapget.com/en/download.html , go to settings and check "watch clipboard." Okay, now all you need to do is copy the rapidshare links and presto! your movie links will download automatically as long as you keep your computer on.
(optional) Rapidshare uses a combination of IP checking and cookies in order to disallow free users from downloading too much. So in order to get around this, you will need to change your IP (view your ip at www.whatismyip.com -- you can only download once every couple hours unless this number changes). Now there are a bunch of methods to change your IP, however, it depends on YOUR setup. Since there are too many dependencies, I will not explain it -- although if you can find some proxies which will handle SSL (or use openssl) then that'll always work (advanced users only!).
