A lot of ISP are starting to throttle connections to RapidShare.com. Luckily for us, ISP's only implement a simple URL Filtering that detects rapidshare.com in connections and throttles the user's download speed. The easiest workaround is to replace rapidshare.com with the actual IP Address.

Here's how it works:
Method A:
1. Go to http://rapidcheck.opocot.com/rap.php
2. Copy & Paste the links into the form and click "POST"
3. Wait for the server to process the links
4. Once links has been generated, copy and paste the new links into your Download Manager
5. Enjoy the speed :)
6. Spread the word out!

Method B:
Example RapidShare Link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/269784390/testfile.rar

Visit the link in your browser and you will eventually get another link that looks like this:
http://rs700gc.rapidshare.com/files/269784390/testfile.rar

ISP's URL Filtering program detects "rapidshare.com" in the above URL. So in order to bypass the filter, you have to find out the actual IP Adresss of "rs700gc.rapidshare.com"

To get the IP Address, go to http://www.selfseo.com/find_ip_address_of_a_website.php
....and key in : rs700gc.rapidshare.com

You should get its IP : 64.212.138.101

So change the above links to:

"http://64.212.138.101/files/269784390/testfile.rar"

Copy & Paste the URL above to your Download Manager (I recommend IDM or HiDownload). Don't forget to key in the username and password for 64.212.138.101

Good Luck and Have Fun ;)

5. Find http://rs354l3.rapidshare.com IP address via http://www.selfseo.com/find_ip_address_of_a_website.php
6. Replace rs354l3.rapidshare.com with IP addres, in this case; 62.67.50.155
7. Your final link should look like this: http://62.67.50.155/files/173981482/853970...5681955-001.mp3
8. Download


Method B: If you get a blank page when accessing RapidShare.com.
This is a little difficult as you need to go through 2 IP Lookup and URL Replace.

1) Open any RS links, eg:
"http://rapidshare.com/files/259945213/testfile123.rar"

2) If you do a "mouse over" over the free user button and watch the URL bar at the bottom of your browser you can see the actual address to the RS "free user countdown timer" page which in this case:
"http://rs63.rapidshare.com/files/259945213/testfile123.rar"

This is the tricky part as your ISP would not allow you to go to the "count down" page due to the existance of "rapidshare.com" in the above links.

So you need to do an IP look up for the above "rs63.rapidshare.com" in this case it is "195.122.131.64"

3) This is where you trick your ISP to allow you to do the link jump:
i- From that RSlinks page.. Do a "view source..." (By clicking on "view" pulldown list in your browser and clicking on "source")
ii- You will see the html page source in notepad or any text editor
iii- In the text editor replace the URL with the IP. (tips do a search for keyword "method="post"" to easily find the code links)
iv- Save the file as anyname.HTML file format.
v-Double-click/open the saved html file, once opened you will get a strip down look of the original webpage but the "free user" button is still visible. Just double click on it and you should be able to go to the "count down" page

Now to get to the "Final IP..."

4) Once count down finish and the download button appears... do another "view source".... you should now be seeing the html code of the page and do a search for the keywords "mirror" onclick=" there is a bunch of links there just do a URL=>IP replace on any of the "FINAL LINKS" here and copy and paste the whole modified links in any browser or IDM...

It should now work :)
