How To Download Files From RapidShare The Easier Way
Translation: almost all aspects of human life is out there on the internet. Or another way to say it is: you can get anything that you need from the biggest library on the planet – as long as you know how to find it. This can be a good thing and also a bad thing. But let’s keep our mindset on the positive side, shall we?
Where has modern technology taken us to? The place where almost every aspect of your life is coded into digital bits and bytes. Everything from documents to your working life, from favorite music to social networking; all that can be digitized has been digitized. And once something is in digital format, you can be sure that it’s available on the net.
If You Can Make It Complicated…
Pioneered by RapidShare, file sharing services are major players in the business of find-and-get-anything-and-everything. Even though the services’ original purpose was to facilitate web users to share files legally to people they know (or so they said), RapidShare and other similar services have evolved into must-visit “tourist attractions” for file hunters.
There are downsides to downloading files from rapidshare . The first one is the absence of search features. The reason is understandable as their service is supposed to be “personal sharing” without the need for a searching ability. You have to rely on third party searchingservices to find files that you need from RapidShare and other file sharing sites. The second downside are the hassles that you have to go through to download a file: starting from a file size limit, waiting time, absurd CAPTCHA, and other annoying things. While the reason is understandable – they want you to pay for their premium service – these annoyances are – well – really annoying.
…Why Not Make It Simple?
These unpleasantness gives birth to several tools to make our downloading life more comfortable. One of the famous ones is SkipScreen – a Firefox plugin that will “skip” the waiting screen. SkipScreen would be a perfect tool because it’s free and being a Firefox add-on it’s also available for all OS’s. But there are people who want to use similar tools without the need for Firefox. For these people, there is jDownloader. This Java-based application is also free and available for all OS’s.
