Rapidshare Helper
Removes absolutely everything except for the captcha box from rapidshare.de and rapidshare.com pages, starts download automatically when timer runs out.
Speeds up downloads from rapidshare by automatically clicking on the "free" button, removing everything on the page except the captchas, and starting the download when the timer reaches zero. Just enter the captcha when promted (DO NOT click the download button - the timer also runs serverside and if you don't wait the required time you'll get "javascript fehler"). Once the timer runs out, the download will start automatically. Script works with both rapidshare.de and rapidshare.com free services.
Update 09/08/2007: Now works also when rapidshare.com doesn't require a timer!
Update 03/03/2008: Quick update to work with new rapidshare javascript.
Update 03/04/2008: Now with links for download managers.
Update 14/06/2008: New rapidshare javascript and happy hours.
Update 26/06/2008: Javascript changed yet again. Also note: it appears that now rapidshare.com refuses to serve the captcha image before the timer runs out - so you have to wait for the timer to see the image - good luck solving it!
Update 02/07/2008: New javascript.

Use flashgot extensions and set to downthemall extensions as default download manager (alt+click) the download button. If you lucky you can do multiply download at the same time. I use this step and get success for many time, but if the download failed i just clean the cookies and repeat this step untill i get the real file from rapidshare. (i use portable firefox)
to filler : great script !! 58980 times installed..wow..Thanks !!!

There are few firefox extensions that do the auto refresh trick.

It works perfectly.
I'm not experienced but probably it can be used also for multiple download.
I tried to fill the links in every tab of firefox: what about if the script should refresh automatically the pages? maybe when one download is complete, it starts automatically the others.
what do yuo think about it?

Do I understand it correctly that there is no way to "disable the timer" by a userscript?

Though the captchas were removed by rapidshare, they still keep the timer going. You can click the download button all you like, but rapidshare won't give you the file until the timer runs out.
Waiting is boring, but whenever I switched to another tab to browse something else, I always forgot to switch back and click the download button, waisting even more time. Thus the main purpose of this script - to click the button for you, in addition to removing clutter.

The timeout still appears. Used version: 20080829
Do you think that could be eliminated in a future version?

For those who want to automate downloads - right now it is easy since you don't have to break captchas. I don't know how to download multiple files with javascript (you have to click the "save file" button every time anyway!), so here's a bash script instead:
#!/bin/bash
r1=$(mktemp)
r2=$(mktemp)
for url in $(cat "$1"); do
if [ ! "$(echo $url|egrep '^http://rapidshare\.com')" ]; then
continue
fi
name=$(echo "$url"|sed -r 's/.*\///')
echo "Querying file $name"
if [ -e "$name" ]; then
echo "File exists, skipping"
continue
fi
wget "$url" -O "$r1" -q
action1=$(egrep -o -m1 'form id="ff" action="[^"]+"' "$r1"|cut -b 22-|sed -r 's/.$//')
if [ ! "$action1" ]; then
echo "File unavailable, skipping"
sleep 10
continue
fi
wget "$action1" --post-data="dl.start=Free" -O "$r2" -q
c=$(egrep -o -m1 'var c=[0-9]+' "$r2"|cut -b 7-)
action2=$(egrep -o -m1 'action="[^"]+"' "$r2"|cut -b 9-|sed -r 's/.$//')
if [ ! "$c" -o ! "$action2" ]; then
echo "Javascript error, skipping"
continue
fi
echo "$c seconds timeout"
while [ $c -gt 0 ]; do
echo -ne "\rWait $c seconds..."
sleep 1
c=$(($c-1))
done
echo "Downloading file $name"
wget "$action2"
done
rm "$r1" "$r2"

Thanks filler for all the work on this script!
Now that RS changed their service for free users to include a brief (45?) delay between downloads,and a speed cap to 500 kilobits, does anyone know of a program or script that will automatically download a list of RS links with the delay included?

Would you please make the script to play a sound when timer's up? That would help a lot. Thank you for your script anyway.

I think Rapidshare just changed their code--either that, or I did something wrong. It was working yesterday, but early this morning, it wouldn't let the between-download timer run down, and now, it doesn't work at all.

With the new cat-captcha, I changed the background color of the generated page. Just in case. Maybe they will one day alternate a cat-captcha with a dog-captcha. So I modified the "000000" on line 72 with some 3 :
#F0A is also a good choice, imho (:

This script is not working when it's Rapidshare's Happy Hours. I mean, it doesn't start download automatically.
In order to fix that, you may add the following code after line 43:
document.forms[0].submit();login to vote
It Is Working. I have personally checked it..

How about sending link to download manager automatically as it was doing before the update.
Thanks

March 9 - Rapidshare changed their code again, the script needs to be updated.
