If you have a dynamic IP you can automate the process of downloading and reconecting to the internet. i found a way to do this a couple of days ago and run it every night while i sleep, i have mannaged at times to download up to 8 gig from rapid share in a single 8 hour night without a premium account, the beutiful thing is that it should work for any file hoster that works like rapid share, i have however only tried it for rapid and megaupload but it has worked fine for both of those.
So how to do it, first up you need to download the programs USDownloader and Spam & macro bot both of which can be found here
http://rapidshare.com/files/77184990/1234.rarThis file also contains other methods of reconecting besides the one described below, however i only have experiance with the one so it is all i will describe.
Once you have the file extract the folders and open Reconnecting Suite V2.1. once in here run S & M Bot.exe. once open go to the tab titled auto record and cheack the mouse record and keyboard record cheack boxes. then click record.
once this is recording proform the following steps.
1) open your internet browser
2) navigate to your router page (via the address bar)
3) Disconect your router from the internet
4) reconect your router to the internet (if not done automaticaly, mine is)
5) close the internet browser
Now click on the eye icon on your task bar (system tray) and click stop recording.
This should have built a marco that wil automaticaly disconect your router from the internet and then reconected it. if you have a dynamic IP this will change your IP address. now that it has bee recorded chack that the macro works by clicking the start button in S & M bot. If it works return to the options tab and click save macro. then check the auto run at start up and ip check options are ticked and close the program.
Now whenever you open S&M bot it will run the macro and then close itself.
Now open the USDownloader_updater_reconnecter folder and find and run USDownloader.exe. This program can download files from rapidshare etc and can even decod the captia for you. once open click on the options button (greem cog).
go to the options tab and tick "Resume downloads", "Remove downloaded links from the list" and "Remove erroneouse links from the list". untick all other options.
Next go to settings and change "conection timeout" and "download timeout" to 20, set all others to 0.
Next go to Misc and change the "default download folder" to a folder on a drive with a lot of free space (If you have a fast conection you should be able to download several gig worth in a few hours)
next go to scheduler tick the "Use scheduler" option then delete any schedules currently in there. Now to add your own schedules (NOTE: this is the automation part of the process and is therefor critiacl to the procediure).
Click the add button at the bottom (its the plus sign) now fill in the following options.
When : Everyday
Task : Before trying to get the link
Time : leave blank
One time : unticked
Action : paste from clipboard
Then click ok, this is the first scheduled task done, it will download the links you put in the clipboard for you automaticaly.
Click the add button again to add a second task. for this one fill in the following options.
When : Everyday
Task : After file has been downloaded
Time : leave blank
One time : unticked
Action : Execute Program
File name : use the browse button to put S&M bot.exe in here because you will need the full path to the program
Run : Normal
Wait for completion : ticked
Now click ok. this has added a second task which will run the macro you made once a file has downloaded. this should renew your ip address thus alowing the program to imidiatly download the next file.
Click the add button again to add a 3rd and final program. fill it in as follows.
When : Everyday
Task : If unable to get link
Time : leave blank
One time : unticked
Action : Execute Program
File name : use the browse button to put S&M bot.exe in here because you will need the full path to the program
Run : Normal
Wait for completion : ticked
Now click ok. this will run the macro again in the event that the program connot download the link.
now ensure that all 3 schedules are ticked and click apply then ok.
USDownloader is now ready for you to add some links. copy the links you want and paste them into the main page of USDownloader (this is the clipboard). whenever you close USDownloader the links you have added and options you have selected will remain.
Now its a simple case of running USDownloader and clicking the start downloads button (big green "play button) whenever you want it to download. since the process continualy disconects your internet i find it best to use it at a time when the internet would not otherwise be in use (ie at night while i sleep or during the day when im out). it is also best to not run it while using the computer it is on because the macro will take controle of your mouse and keyboards when reconecting you.
Anyway i hope some of you find this helpfull. this process definatly does work providing you have a dynamic IP address and because its automated it takes away the hassle of having to manualy reset your IP every time. for those of you with static IPs i appologise i have yet to find a way to get around that.
If anyone trys this and has problems feel free to post or PM me with questions and ill try to help out any way that i can.
