Currently, downloading from rapidshare premium on Linux is a bit of a pain, especially if you need speed limiting / throttling to avoid frustrating others on your connection (sorry flatmates!)
The best solution I found was here:
http://www.g-loaded.eu/2007/09/15/use-wget-or-curl-to-download-from-rapidshare-premium/
but it’s all command line stuff which isn’t really appropriate in 2009 methinx… so i wrote a small python GTK front end for the whole process:
PyRSDownloader 0.1
PyRSDownloader for Linux
The program is very simple and a tad rough around the edges (first proper project in python, woop!), but it works nicely, especially if you connect it to Firefox extension FlashGot. Only dependancy is you’ll need GTK and python installed. See the readme for more detail on using the program, all content is GPL’ed so feel free to hack away!
