Simply disconnet the internet after connecting. The waiting time will lost!!!

It works only for dynamic IP adresses, beacause after each disconnect-reconnect you get new IP and rapidhare won't recognise you.
But if you have static IP, then this method won't work.

Alternative solution is to restart connection between your router and Internet. If you have access to your router, you can restart PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). How to do this, depends on your router.

Here is a guide how to make a script that will restart SpeedTouch 780's PPPoE:
You will need Albert Yale Telnet Scripting Tool - Link (this will automate telnet sessions). Extract it to somewhere.
Script for restarting PPPoE: Open Notepad and write

Kod:

192.168.1.254 23
WAIT "Username :"
SEND "Administrator\m"
WAIT "Password :"
SEND "***\m"
WAIT ">"
SEND "ppp ifdetach intf Internet\m"
WAIT ">"
SEND "ppp ifattach intf Internet\m"
WAIT ">"
SEND "@close\m"

*** - your router password

Save .txt file to the same folder where tst10.exe is. Last but not least, make a bat-file and write there:

Kod:

tst10.exe /r:***.txt /m

*** - your .txt file's name.

Now each time you execute bat file, you will get new IP adress.

With different router you will have to change the content of .txt file. It might be similar, I don't know.

You can use this script in rapidshare-download-programs (like Universal Share Downloader). In scheduler, you can make program to execute your bat file after each download so the program wiil download several rapidshare files in a few minutes.
