Using this as an example, I click on "free" account, says the ticket is reserved and the counter starts counting down, I pick a server, and my download manager (Internet Download Manager) says the link is invalid, no matter which server I pick

Squirrel there your problem rite there...
u can't use a download manager with free acc on rapidshare

there is a prog called rap-get.. which allows u to download from all the file hosting places.

i put it here if u want it

Prog d/l link
http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=other&file=Rap_get.rar

nice prog, u just paste the download url in it and click the download button, u can queue yor files that need download and so forth u get the idea..

But jsut buy a Account, only costs like R300 or so for the year, well worth it.
and they get there download manager u can use called rapidget same type of style like rap-get.

Buy an account from them via PayPAl if you can...You wont be sorry....

By far and without any doubt the best investment I have ever made on the internet. Pay for the one month option and try it - it's less than R100.

I've tried a few of File Hosts and found them to be useless as most files I look for are hosted in rapidshare. Its definately a worthwhile investment. Is there a better alternative?

To disable that stupid counter type the following into your URL bar:
javascript:c(c=0)
and press enter while the counter is counting down

Immediately it will show you your code to enter to start your download. I also use a program called HideIP Platinum, so then u can also do more downloads at once :D
