[Updated] Easy download from RapidShare.com

The program has been re-worked - LOTS of bugs should be gone, and it looks a bit better. Try it out!

Are you lazy like me? Are you a RapidShare Premium subscriber?
Try my RapidShare Clipboard Monitoring Downloader (or RSLinkMon for short)!

It's easy to use after you set up your preferences!

1. Surf forumophilia
2. Mark the rapidshare.com-link and press CTRL+C, or right-click it and copy it to the clipboard! The program magically detects the link and starts downloading it!
3. Go to step 1!!

It doesn't do much other than download your files to a specified location. You can set it to overwrite existing files, and you can choose a preferred download server or just set it to pick one at random. You can set the amount of concurrent downloads (it defaults to two). And of course you must specify your RapidShare.com username and password. It will remember these settings.

I got tired of clicking a rapidshare link, clicking the premium button, selecting a mirror and transferring the file via my download manager.

It's a beta version, so expect a few kinks. If you are lucky, I will get them sorted out. Don't expect too much I am a busy dude.

You will need the .NET Framework 2.0 installed.

In my daily life I do web development, but from time to time, I like to program in something different. I like the .NET framework, so I try to do something interesting from time to time. Seeing that I don't do .NET programming very often, the quality of the programming is not that good. But it does what it does satisfactorily, I think.

Note of caution: The program saves your username and password in plain text in the windows registry for the currently logged in user in Windows!

It will not transmit your username/password to any other site than rapidshare.com!

Support: THERE IS NONE! Post in this thread if you have questions, and maybe I will answer, maybe someone else knows the answer and they are kind enough to answer for me

Main window:

(I do not have the kind of bandwidth displayed - That was a bug that is already squashed heheh)

Preferences window:


Click to download!

By the way: Would forumophilia be interested in a modified version of the program with a forumophilia-banner in the top-part of the program? It would have to be relatively small... Also: It would have to look.... "Decent" so that you can run the program with the wife looking

I added screenshots in the attachments

New version - Hopefully without too many creepy bugs!

Updated to 0.9.4 - KB/MB per second fixed, also showing global speed now!

Known bug: Scrollbar doesn't appear when you have queued lots of items, they are there though, so clear the list of finished items if you want to see them, or just wait

v0.9.5: Scroll bug was fixed, plus a few non-issue things.

I'm interested - Since there hasn't been a lot of downloads: As a premium subscriber, what kind of downloader do YOU use, and how does it work?
Don't really mind much, since I made this for myself. I just thought that more people would find it useful

That and this http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ does it for me.
You could just highlight the links and use CTRL + c and then paste the links into the manager. Voila.

There is already an option for direct downloading.just check that option and rightclick on a link and click on downlad with IDM(or any other download manager).

I'm thankful for this thread. I didn't realize that you could get a download manager right off the RS site. This is such a time saver. Very grateful. Thanks
