Megaupload which is another Rapidshare alternative for online file storage requires a toolbar to download in many countries. Though there are many tricks to download from megaupload without the use of toolbar but Megaupload also provides Megaupload download Manager which lets you manage, upload and download Megaupload files quite easily.
This desktop application is free and of course to upload the files you do not have to register. Megaupload Download Manager offers resumable uploads which are 6 times faster.

This Megaupload File manager is available for both free and Premium users but it is better to use it only when you have a premium account password because Companies like Megaupload often have a catch for free user download
The free user cannot bypass the Megaupload download limit but you can still use it for managing and uploading your files on megaupload. I have also written an article on how to get a “Megaupload Premium account” for free on this blog, so make a search and if you are lucky you will get a premium Megaupload account legally.
Download Megaupload Download Manager from here which is the latest version and works only on windows platform.Another alternative I suggest is Jdownloader.
Jdownloader Download Manager
Jdownloader (Download from here) is another Megaupload Download Manager freeware Software which supports Mac, Linux and Windows OS.
Moreover it also manages Rapidshare download and is one of the useful tool for any user where you can download several files from Rapidshare and Megaupload. Probably integration of search engine to search Rapidshare, Megaupload files would have been good! Maybe we can see them in the future..

The interface is quite neat and if you understand the explanation then you will be able to setup addons which includes automatically unraring a .rar file, IRC chat integration and also auto shut down after the download is completed.Check this list of addon for Jdownloader!
The features such as theme support ,Online Youtube video downloader and ability to download/upload files from Filefactory, Deposit files, Rapidshare and Netload makes Jdownloader a sophisticated download manager.

This tool:

- is simple
- is cross-platform
- is lighweight
did it work
thanx 4 this program if it’s working
If you’re only interested in downloading from Rapidshare, I’d strongly recommend the Firefox add-on “RDown” [Download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8376 ].
This allows you to copy as many Rapidshare links as you like, paste them into RDown, and then leave it to whir away merrily.
Jdownloader is great (I use it myself), but it is resource intensive, and if you’re only interested in Rapidshare, RDown doesn’t suffer from this problem.

A second tool worth having is SkipScreen [Download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11243 ]. This is great when you only need to download one file. Using some ingenious programming, it completely avoids the unnecessary pages you normally have to suffer when using a free account (countdown timers, captchas, multiple click-throughs etc. etc,), instead it pops the download window up almost immediately. It works on Rapidshare, Megaupload, zShare, Mediafire, and more.
Hope this is of help.
how can i download from rapidshare. i have try so many tricks but none of them are working. please help me..(“,)
Thanks! I didn’t know about JDownloader. When i tried megaupload download manager (with a premium account) few months back, it was very slow and memory intensive, hope its in a better shape now
