RapidLeech is a PHP script using which you input a RapidShare or MegaUpload link to have the file downloaded to your web hosting space. It will essentially give you one additional virtual computer to which you can download from major file sharing services. This is useful since RapidShare limits the number of files (based on file size) that you can download in a given time (This limit also applies to your RapidLeech installation - meaning, you can’t keep downloading for ever, the usual limit still applies).
Rapid Leech is a free server transfer script for use on various popular upload/download sites such as megaupload.com - The script transfers files from rapid share (for example) via your fast servers connection speed and dumps the file on your server.
RapidLeech works with Rapidshare, MegaUpload, MyTempDir, getfile.biz, webfile.ru. Once set up, you can not only download from these file sharing services, but also from any other direct HTTP URL.
The current latest vesion of RapidLeech is v2.3_build_23_08_2007. Below are the steps to set it up on your hosting space:
- Download RapidLeech from here and extract the contents.
- Edit config.php in configs folder.
- It’s theoretically possible to set a username and password to limit the access to your RapidLeech page, but it didn’t work for us. You can try it by changing $login to false and changing the $users value.
- Set $download_dir_is_changeable to false.
- Save and close the file.
- Upload all the folders and index.php to where you want to install RapidLeech. For security reason, it’s better to name this directory to something other than rapidleech.
- CHMOD files directory to 777.
- If you haven’t set a access username and password, use your hosting panel to do so. Else, others might mis(over)use your installation.
Visit the RapidLeech installation page. To download, paste the download link and press Download file button (you may leave the Referrer value blank). The downloaded files might not be visible when you click the Server Files tab. Simply click the Show Everything link. From here, you can download, rename and delete the files.

Pablo,
1. I wouldn’t know. I don’t have a premium a/c and hence didn’t check that feature
2. Not for me
3. You might want to visit their official site/forum and request for features/report bugs (first result when you google for Rapidleech)

1. The use of premium account does not function.
>> I can use my premium acc straight on the RL page, or in the config files, no prob at all
2. Checking “server files” returns code errors.
>> Something wrong with ur javascript maybe
3. This isn’t even ready for beta?
>> It’s already at version 2.3

works just fine, maybe the problem is not the script but the problem is in ur hosting…
some hosting might not allowed this kind of script.
for using the rs premium account, simply just put ur acc and pass and save
after u hit the download button, it will leave u in a blank page, it’s because ur server is downloading the file from Rs then it needed to upload it again to ur server.
so if u r downloading a big file, u need to wait.

Rapidleech is the best script for transferring files from rapidshare to your server, especially when rapidshare is blocked at your office or school. Transfer the files first to some server and download it from there, I found a tutorial on how to do it properly on http://www.ThePinoyGeek.com
