Download from RapidShare using alternative service

Underscore character above is h

You need to sign up and if there are any free offers you can earn MBs that way or
buy MBs. Using your cell phone it costs R2.00 to buy 8GB of data on RS. The Rapishare
links are interchangeable with the RapidS*it, just the domain name changes.

Note: This hasn't been tested by me. So use at own risk.

Hi,
I must say thanks for posting a nice service.

The site is working.
Yep I tried it out last night, bought a few MB. No extra amount of money was billed from my account. I've also downloaded a file just to check that all works well.

However, I don't think that this service would be useful for the demanding type of user where he/she would like the files to be downloaded immediately as these guys download the file /s at happy hour on rapidshare.
So you basicly pay them to download your file for you from rapidshare.

I'd definitely use this service if all fails.

What I do like using is:
http://rapid8.com

But thanks for posting. other services that people find would be useful as well.

Cheers!

You have to replace the underscore character _ with s. The site claims to be called Rapid's Hit - obviously the apostrophes don't translate into URLs.

I did do that thanks Peter but on http://rapid_hit.com/ac_login.php?rs=/ it says

WE HAD A DATABASE CRASH. ALL USER ACCOUNTS WERE AFFECTED. WE ARE WORKING ON RESTORING ACCOUNTS.

so I couldn't register.

It registered me ok, I even re-registered just now. Maybe you need cookies to be enabled or something. Then if I select pay by cell phone and I choose the best option I get:
"R 50.00 - Purchase 373600 MB" from ZONG.

Admittedly R50 for 373 GB of data is not too shabby.

I know that some ISP's shape Rapidshare heavily. Will this work with a shaped account?

It probably will as they shape via IP address or domain name and not content downloaded.
