Rapidshare Links point to files that are hosted on the Rapidshare file hosting site. We have already shown you how to validate those links with the Rapidshare Links Checker without leaving the page the links are listed on. Many downloaders for Rapidshare have been developed and are currently available on the Internet. One of them is the Russian tool Raptor which proves to be a bit problematic at the beginning due to its Russian default language.
The language can only be changed in the options once the application has been installed which means that users will have to find their way through the Russian installation dialogs. That’s not a huge problem though for users who have installed hundreds of applications in the past.
The two images below demonstrate how to change the language from Russian to English.
Some elements of the interface will remain in Russian though but that is nothing to worry about. A list of Rapidshare links can be added to the Rapidshare downloader by clicking on the + icon in the top navigation menu. Other options include the ability to simply use [CTRL V] to paste them into the program’s interface.
The downloader will automatically download the selected files from Rapidshare. It is possible to add proxies in the application but it can practically be left running in the background because it does not require user interaction after starting the downloads.
