Be advised downloading any material that is copyrighted without paying for it is illegal, no matter where you download the material. That is, using this method or any other P2P application.
Alright in this little tutorial I will teach you how to download any file without utilizing programs that will potentially harm your computer like LimeWire, Frostwire, Soulseek, or any other P2P sharing application. We will be using Host Servers such as http://www.rapidshare.com/, http://www.megaupload.com/, or even http://www.easy-share.com/.
So let’s begin. RapidShare is basically a German One-click hosting site that operates from Switzerland and is financed by the subscriptions of paying users. It operates as a pay service, allowing any member to upload files of up to 200MB. The user is then supplied with a unique download URL, which locates the file and enables anyone with whom the uploader shares it to download the file.
People all around the world upload files to these servers. Anything you could think of is on these servers and most people that upload any file to these servers share them online via forums, blogs, or any social network. These users post up unique URL links that will lead the user to appropriate download page.
For Example:
http://rapidshare.com/files/253612686/Mcafee.zip
This link will provide you with McAfee VirusScan Enterprise v8.7i If you do not want or need an anti-virus protection software do not download it. It is just an example.
Google is a great resource when searching for these unique URLs. All you have to do is type in rapidshare.com or any other file-hosting domain and what ever it is you would like to download into the search engine. Lets try searching for some music. I will search for Stratovarius' new album Polaris.
These are our results:
Try to stay away from www.rapidlibrary.com, www.fileshunt.com, and www.filestube.com, these are just search engines that attempt to compile the unique URLs that we are looking for. They could be a useful resource but tend to be confusing. For the meantime refrain from entering those particular websites. We are looking for user-friendly blogs or forums.
Click on http://kittyshare.blogspot.com/2009/05/stratovarius-polaris-2009.html It should look something like this:
If you scroll down the unique URL we have been searching for is revealed:
Obviously, the one we want is -->
http://rapidshare.com/files/234725959/Stratovarius_-_Polaris.rar
Now that we have our URL, copy and paste onto a new web browser tab or window.
The website should look like this:
Click on the Free User button.
Wait the small amount of time. And finally click Download.
There are other ways of getting these unique URLs. I mentioned the search engines, which tend to be confusing for new users, and forums. A good forum for music would be http://www.taringa.net/
Here are a few other forums:
http://www.tehparadox.com/
http://www.rapidrise.org/
These forums are online sharing communities and will provide you with help, if you ask for any. The forums are user friendly and will provide a search engine for the material within the forum, making it very easy to find the unique links.
There are endless possibilities as to what you can download from these servers. Every game, every program/application, every movie, every song, every e-book, literally anything that can be stored on a hard drive, you can find on the Rapidshare servers. Basically anything you’re looking for, your guaranteed to find. Missed an episode of your favorite TV series?, no worries you can download that episode right away. Need some expensive computer software, you got it! You can even download e-books on pretty much anything you can think of. But that’s not all, its gets better; Rapidshare is extremely fast when it comes to downloads. I’m talking downloading full DVD quality movies in a matter of 10-20 minutes. You are not capped, you can download as fast as your internet can possibly go.
