Flashget & Rapidshare

    I have a Rapidshare premium account.
    I have the latest Flashget.

    I'm trying to download from rapidshare through flashget. When I add it to the list and click download it downloads 5KB and then moves to the downloaded section as if it's finished.

    I can download from Rapidshare through firefox logging in manually.
    I can download other files through Flashget.
    I have added my flashget login details to the sitemanager and saved rapidshare as the referrer for new downloads.
    I've tried reinstalling flashget.

    This used to work fine for me without any issues and I've not changed anything on my computer AFAIK.

    Can anyone help out with this problem?

    Does it download a html file by any chance? I've had this problem with Internet Download Manager. Don't know why it does it but I've found (this is in IDM don't know about flashget) that if you save it as a text file and import it, that it downloads the files fine.

    Nope. I just get a corrupt 5KB rar file.

    Hmm I've never had that happen. How often does it happen?

    What happens when you try another download manager? Free download manager

    Edit: fixed link

    It happens all the time with rapidshare and flashget on my PC.

    I'd rather not fiddle about with another dl manager. I know it works fine for someone else so it's not a compatibility issue with rapidshare and flashget if that's what you mean? It must be something on my PC?

    I've tried clearing temp files etc.

    Also, from the Rapidshare FAQ I shouldn't have any problems..

    Which download-accelerators can I use?

    Right now we have tested the following programs successfully: GetRight, FlashGet, GoZilla and IDM.
    Please notice that due to the nature of the TCP-protocol and the fact that some download managers are poorly designed, its possible that your download logs show more traffic than you have evidently downloaded. However, this is not a bug within RapidShare because we log exactly the traffic leaving our network. The more streams you use in parallel, the more "overhead-traffic" might be logged.

    The problem appears to have magically fixed itself.

    Computers I shall never understand.

    The 5kb file is what you'd get if you don't have a premium account. For an example, I'll use a file from the Stranglehold demo. 
    http://rapidshare.com/files/56046932/Stranglehold.sfx.part02.rar
    For example, if you were to load that into rapidshare, and you didn't have it set up correctly, you'd only get 5kb, but if you got 
    http://rs216.rapidshare.com/files/56046932/Stranglehold.sfx.part02.rar
    you'd get the full 100MB.

    Once you load up Flashget, click Tools, Options, and then select Site Manager. Click Add, and then enter http://rapidshare.com into the URL box. Then add in your name and password, and leave everything the same.

    This way, when you add links (like in the first code box), the password and username will already be there.
