Trick to Skip Rapidshare Wait Times

Here is an easier solution to skipping Rapidshare wait times. The usual proxy trick is tedious and not usually very successful.

This is for those running on a network with router and a cable or DSL connection, although it might work for other setups.

I noticed this works when my power went off for a few minutes. When it came back on my wait time disappeared.

All you have to do is:

1. Unplug/turn off your router
2. Unplug/turn off your cable/DSL modem
3. Count to 20
4. Plug in/turn on your router
5. Plug in/turn on your cable/DSL modem
6. Wait a minute for the modem to reset your Internet connection.
7. Download!

Hope this helps.

Hi.
Yeah this happens every time, you get a new ip from your provider.
RS only checks the ip, so fast proxys won't work very often cause they were used by others.
Most users have a dynamic ip from their provider that change every time when the router reconnects.

For users with a fritz!box (avm product) and firefox there's a useful addon called foxbox to reconnect much faster.

You can find it here:

So you can reconnect much easier
