This guide will use Universal Share Downloader (w. captcha support) and a new n' improved router reset technique to hack the download limits of most online one-click file hosts.

This has been tested on a Airtel connection using the Beetel 220BX DSL router.

Step 1. Get Universal Share Downloader (USD) and the CAP OCR from WinCert.net Forums. USD with the captcha will automate downloading for you but cannot bypass the limits. Install both using the .INF files in the archives (right click, install).

Step 2. Get TTERMPRO from Tera Term Home Page. This app will automate the router rebooting. It enables you to use a script (macro) to send a reboot command to the router via telnet. Install the app.

Step 3. Look in the TTERMPRO folder for "login.ttl". This is a sample login file for the TTERMPRO terminal macro app. I modified it for use with the Beetel 220bx. Edit the file in notepad. Replace the bolded parts with your own specifics.

Code:
; Sample macro for Tera Term
;  Telnet login

; open Tera Term
;   command line = 'TERATERM myhost.mydomain' (telnet)
connect '[B]192.168.0.1[/B]'

; set username
UsernamePrompt = 'Login:'
Username = '[B]admin[/B]'
PasswordPrompt = 'Password:'
Password = '[B]password[/B]'

; login
wait   UsernamePrompt
sendln Username

wait   PasswordPrompt
sendln Password

; OK, auto login complete.

sendln 'sh'
sendln 'reboot'

Step 4. Start up USD and in its prefs, look up Scheduler (in the list on the left). Add a new entry set to "run everyday", "after file has been dowloaded". Choose to execute the program and put in "C:\Progra~1\TTERMPRO\ttpmacro login.ttl".

Thats it.

If all goes well, everytime USD completes downloading a file, it will start up TTERM to reset the router via telnet. This will give you a new IP and Rapidshare will let you download. No more limits. Works like a charm.

Friendly guys at Cap OCR System provided an update in less than an hour rapidshare changed to the new captchas on the 16th morning. The word is on the round that some of rapidshare's captcha coders are now members of the russian board which manages usd. I guess folks at RS are going to raise their premium membership charges, hence the brief "happy hour" stunt to highlight the benefits of a premium membership. Will not last for more than a few days since happy hour periods can be faked as in megaupload using rotating ips on tor (different time zones have different happy hours :tongue: ) or unless RS provides happy hours at variable times.

As an alternative try Cap 1.8.0.0 (RS 16.04.08) with RapidShareCom.plg by dvk. Has a 10-20% success rate. Or wait till our russian amigos build up a database of the new rotating cats captcha.

EDIT:

bah. they updated the captcha again

nothing works as of yet. users are urged to post the happy hour times if they get one. I got one between 3:00 to 3:30 in the afternoon.

What a cat and dog chase :rofl:
