Rapidshire-how to download?!

[bra00724]

Hi,
This might be a stupid question from the old member like me but... how the hell do you download from rapidshire this days???
I have been downloading from rapidshire quite a lot before but after another change of the layout I can't figure out how to do it. When I'm trying to download file it asks me if I want to display insecure... something, I don't remember. I choosed "yes" then on the top of the page I see this new bar which you have to right click to download file, and then.... nothing.
Any help please. I don't think you have to be actually registered, right?

I use a firefox addon called SkipScreen that simply skip all steps from all download sites for me - it fills captchas, it skips time counters - so all I have to do is click in a link to download and forget about, when the file is ready to download a window pops asking me where I want to save the file. I strongly recommend.

You can also try FRD which is a popular downloader choice. Anyway, I downloaded a file from rapidshare just now to check and this is how it went:

first screen asks
1. if you want RSpro
2. save files to computer
3. save files to RS account.

Select 2, that is click download below "save files to your computer" then pop up appears to save file to your computer. If this is how it's not happening on your side, check your firewall and antivirus settings. Also disable noscript before downloading if you're using it. If it asks you "display non secure content" or something like that, click no, not yes.

When I'm choosing "no" nothing happens. I can't download. But if I'm clicking "yes" and then pop up button for download I'm getting somthing like this:
RapidShare ? Secure Data Logistics

What should I do now?

I think the file that you are trying to download is not valid anymore. When this happens, Rapidshare opens their homepage when you try to download instead of start the download.
It is happening the same thing with other files or just with this particular file that you are trying to download?

Can you share the download link please?

I tried couple of files. This is one of them: RapidShare ? Secure Data Logistics

I'm not getting a timer or anything just 3 options; rapidshare pro - save to pc - save to rapidshare account
Clicking the save to pc allows me to download the file.
No yes-no option involved at all. Might I ask for a screenshot of what it is you are seeing?

I'm able to download this file just fine. When IE blocks redirecting from https to http followed by notification to allow download, just like in this case, I've often encountered problems with it. I'd suggest you to either use a different browser or use a downloader program for rapidshare like FRD or any other you find suitable. Also check if your IE has a default downloads folder, it might be that the file is downloading to your temp files folder and you need to manually move it from there.

I'm using firefox 5 by the way, in case you want to try using the same browser I did.
