Was working great but has suddenly stopped working correctly. I think rapidshare must have changed the page code. The symptom is that when we finish the countdown ("93 seconds remaining" or whatever) and the big Download button appears, instead of "pressing" the Download button when the script reaches the end of its own countdown, it re-enters the URL and causes RapidShare to start the countdown again. |

@mattski, same situation here. It stopped working since last night. Actually, it didn't function as you described after I upgraded Firefox to the new version (3.5.2). Uninstalling FF 3.5.2 and installing 3.0.x didn't fix the problem. I hope the solution comes soon. Best regards. |

hang on, i will have a look at what has changed.. keep posted.. EDIT.. they definitely changed the rapidshare page, so i will have to review the process. this might be just a simple tweak, so it should be ready by tomorrow.. don't worry, i am using this script to download from rapidshare, so it is in my own interest to repair it;-) |

Hi fellows.. the script should be fixed now, please reinstall. Rapidshare have apparently noticed, that lots of people have been using this script (or probably one of scripts like this one). By the way, thank you for your support, I have never expected 60 thousand people to download my script;-) thanks. |

@H53: i'm thinking about making a separate script for hiding the ads (or maybe implement it as a greasemonkey config value), because it doesn't have much to do with automatic downloading;-) keep posted yeah, i've seen that other script ;-) well.. that's open source;-) i also found (possibly a modification) of my script working as a bookmarklet, which was pretty cool, actually.. good point with the version number and last modify date, thank you |

Very useful script, Pete. Thanks for your work. Someone asked before, but I want to amplify the issue.
As for my constellation, I just request a webpage on my router (as in GM_xmlhttpRequest) for a new IP.
Of course the router should not be spammed. ;) |

I don't really understand the need of your script. The only thing it's doing is autowait for 60 sec. until the limited waiting by rapidshare is aimed. I can tell you that once the file was ready to download after 15 minutes (=15x60 sec), I had to wait again for an extra 60 sec. Instead of waiting for 15 minutes, I was waiting for 16 minutes !! |

ramaflore: ok.. then don't use it;-) the point of my script is to be able to run unattended.. if you do something else during those 15 minutes, it's likely you will forget. without this script, you'd have to set up an alarm clock. with this script you don't even have to be at home while all the files are being downloaded. |

Hi iampete, this is a terrific script! I've been using it for a few weeks trouble-free but for the lat few days, this is what has been happening: when counting down to attempt a download while another file is downloading, in about 50% of cases the countdown goes through a few cycles, then stops - the page doesn't reload after reaching 0 seconds. When this happens, the file I wanted to download appears in my download folder with a size of 0 bytes. Out of 20 tabs left open overnight, 9 resulted in empty files and frozen tabs (which worked when I reloaded them manually). I'm using XP SP3 and Firefox 3.0.13. Thanks a bunch for your help! |

hashi: thanks for the suggestion of auto-close function, i'm going to look at it a little closer when i have time. as for the bookmarks.. unfortunately from what i've found out if i try to add a page to bookmarks from javascript, it will pop up a prompt for the user to confirm.. this is not a good solution for a "log" of failed and successfull download links. But i agree that kind of log about failed and successfull downloads can be handy, especially with the auto-close feature. I will try to figure out another place to save these links - ideas welcome.. |

Doesn't work with the german "version" of rapidshare.com. I changed some lines but the script just doesn't want to refresh the page. Wanted to change the page to the US version but it seems to be impossible without a proxy. |

This works for me, and I don't need to do the "hideAd" workaround. Find the following:
document.body.childNodes[1].childNodes[3].style.display = "none"; // rapidshare logo document.body.childNodes[1].childNodes[1].style.display = "none"; // hauptmenue Change to the following:
document.body.childNodes[3].childNodes[3].style.display = "none"; // rapidshare logo document.body.childNodes[3].childNodes[1].style.display = "none"; // hauptmenue |
