These days there are many places from where you can share and download files. Among the most popular websites is Rapidshare and MegaUpload. There are millions of users using the services of these websites.
One of the potential problems with these type of sites is that it is not easy to download a few files at the same time. However, there are a few programs that allow you to manage multiple Rapidshare downloads. One of them is RapGet. Free Rapidshare accounts allow you download even large files for free; however, there is a timer that prohibits you to download files around the clock. RapGet in essence automatically downloads the files when the timer expires, and this way saves you a lot of time. Please note that this is a completely legal program, as it does not hack anything. It does not reduce timers completely, just merely helps you organize your downloads and automates a few things. What is interesting, that many programs of this type also work with megaupload.com, so in a sense you get two programs in one. Let me just add that you should be careful what you are downloading, and it might be a good idea for scan all files with your antivirus.
