What is Rapidshare Download?
rapidshare-dl (Rapidshare Download) is a program which helps downloading files from Rapidshare using a Premium Account. The files to download can be specified as parameters, or they can be retrieved from a local file, an URL or from the clipboard.
Installation
If you use Debian, Ubuntu, or another distro which uses deb packages, you can download the deb package (rapidshare-dl-0.3.6.deb) and simply double-click on it to launch the installer, or you can add my repository to your sources.list file, so that your distro can inform you of new releases.
If you choose the second method, open the file /etc/apt/sources.list with your favorite editor as root and add this line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zootropo/ubuntu intrepid mainsudo aptitude update on the terminal, and install the application by writing sudo aptitude install rapidshare-dl.
If you use other distribution, download the tar.gz: rapidshare-dl-0.3.6.tar.gz, uncompress it, and execute the command make install with root privileges.
Usage
This program doesn't have a GUI, it has to be executed from the command line (Applications > Accessories > Terminal).
