Aug 18, 2009 3:55am Undercoat User	Hi, Thanks for your script. Its really useful. However I came across some phishing links that are being regarded as real rapidshare links. Example/Image explaining it is here: http://i31.tinypic.com/2cy4c5i.jpg Mirror: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/7761/1014256... The problem was found at this address: http://www.rlslog.net/across-the-hall-2009-dvdr... (See comment #52, then #3 and finally #64) Thanks for your help!

Aug 18, 2009 11:48am yah Script's Author	Undercoat, .. Interesting information. It seems that Rapidshare itself is OK'ing these links. The script passes all rapidshare links to Rapidshare itself for verification. I think the script is actually de-obfuscating the re-director. This is the first time I've seen this. .. This has been fixed in the latest release. .. Thanks a bunch for the info, yah.

Aug 19, 2009 11:36am twinkle1452 User	Actually, if someone looks at the pic carefully, would see that the link was NOT rapidshare, it was rapidlshare, with an l in the middle.. Which is funny because it was id by the script as rs link.. The link is killed, but still i wonder why it shown as dead, since it is not an rs link to begin with..

Aug 19, 2009 12:39pm yah Script's Author	twinkle1452, .. The links are actually "rapidlshere". Since they are redirectors, they function as proxies pointing thru to actual rapidshare files. This script does not in itself check ANY rapidshare links. The script passes the links on to rapidshare.com which does a bulk check on however many you send. Unfortunately, the "rapidlshere" links passed the proxied rapidshare links to the script which sent them to rapidshare which OK'd them. It took a small code change to prevent this behavior. .. Hope this helps, yah.
