Download Rapidshare using CURL via socks (optional)

If you have rapidshare account, you can download using curl.

How it works…

1. You must login from browser to rapidshare account to get cookie (kue)

2. Curl version must greater than 7.11.1

Okay now in action:

curl -L -b /home/henry/Download/cookies.txt http://rapidshare.com/files/33983428/unrar-3.7.5-i486-1.tgz -o unrar-3.7.5-i486-1.tgz

and if you using proxy socks, just add –socks yourserver:7777

Special thanks:

Just to drop by a note,
RSConsole is a Rapidshare.com Premium file download accelerator and scheduler for Linux, Unix and BSD.

I’ve just tried it, and it works like a charm. Probably the best Rapidshare Premium downloader around that’s open source.

You may also log in from the command line using curl by typing the following command:

curl \
–cookie-jar ~/.cookies/rapidshare \
–data “login=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD” \
https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premiumzone.cgi \
> /dev/null
