About 2 months ago I’ve written a perfect way to unlimited rapidshare downloading. It can be a very perfect way if you have Cryptload configured correctly and also a router that works with it. I have a Belkin router and there is a strange 5 minutes and 5 seconds wait time which even the programmer of Cryptload doesn’t know what is causing it. Some people even have router that doesn’t even work at all with Crytload!

If you’ve use Cryptload before, you’ll know how RapidShare works. If not, I’ll explain really quick. For normal free users, you’ll need to visit rapidshare link, click the FREE button, wait for download ticket, enter CAPTCHA code and start downloading. When want to download second file from Rapidshare, you’ll need to wait for a while depending on how big is the file that you’ve previously downloaded before you can download the second file. Most people don’t want to wait so they just disconnect and reconnect. This will give you a new IP address and you can download without waiting.

Few days ago I found a new program which is quite similar to how Cryptload works but this time it is going to be flawless. Doesn’t matter what router you have, whether you are using ADSL modem to connect, it will work for you. The only catch is you must be sure that whenever you disconnect and reconnect your Internet, you’ll get a new IP address. So here’s another perfect way to unlimited rapidshare downloading…

The program is called (E)lephant written by Shlomi Kalfa (SK). You’ll find the the name of the author familiar because it’s the same person that created Universal Share Downloader or USDownloader. (E)lephant is a weird name to be used for a download manager which is able to bypass rapidshare’s download limitation. Well, I don’t think the name actually matter so much as long as it works!

This is how (E)lephant looks like. Nothing special, just like a download manager.

Before we can start using (E)lephant to automate unlimited downloading from RapidShare, you’ll need to configure it. Most important configuration is the reconnector. That’s where it will auto reconnect your internet connection to get a new IP address.

1. Once downloaded (E)lephant, extract and run (E)lephant.exe

2. Click on Options at the menu bar and select Settings.

3. Go to the Reconnector tab. I am not going to teach you on how to use the built-in reconnector because it might not work for everyone. I am sure that the external connector method will work for everyone with all types of connections.

4a. For people that is using MODEM to connect to ADSL.
Open notepad and type in the code shown below and save it as rasdial.bat

%systemroot%\system32\rasdial “streamyx” /disconnect
%systemroot%\system32\ping -n 20 127.0.0.1 >nul
%systemroot%\system32\rasdial “streamyx” “user” “pass”

There is 3 lines. First line will disconnect your current connection. You need to change the “streamyx” to your connection name. To know what is the connection name, see the title of the dial up.

The second line will ping localhost 20 times which is good to let your modem rest for 20 seconds before reconnecting again.

The third line will auto dial up to your ISP. Again, change the “streamyx” to your connection name, then “user” to your username and “pass” to your password.

Once you have the rasdial.bat file ready, try running the batch file and see if it will automatically disconnect your internet, wait for 20 seconds and then reconnect. If it works, continue to step 5. If not, check your connection name, username and password.

4b. For people that is using ROUTER to connect to ADSL.
You have to use Macro to record your actions in logging in to your router, disconnect and reconnect. I recommend using free macro Do It Again. Download and install Do It Again. Run Do It Again, go to Options and select Associate with .dia files. Now click the Create a New Task button. You will need to manually login to your router using a web browser to manually disconnect and reconnect your connection. Press SCROLL LOCK when you’re done and save the task with a name such as “changeip”. To test whether it works or not, go to the programs folder which is at C:\Program Files\Do It Again\ and run changeip.dia file. It should automatically open up your web browser, log in to your router, disconnect and reconnect your connection.

5. Check Use the external reconnector.

6. If you’re using modem, click the …. button to look for your rasdial.bat file and click Set button. For router users, browse to C:\Program Files\Do It Again\DoItAgain.exe and at the next box, enter changeip.dia (the name that you saved earlier) and click Set.

7. Now go to any sites that has RapidShare links. Use your mouse to highlight the links, right click and select Copy.

8. A small (E)lephant window will popup asking you to add the links. Just click Add button.

9. All links will be added to (E)lephant. The last thing you need to do here is to click the Start button to start downloading. You will notice that it can auto decrypt and enter rapidshare CAPTCHA codes and will reconnect your internet whenever it detects that you’ve have reached the download-limit for free-users.

In my opinion, software like Cryptload, USDownloader and (E)lephant is totally legal because it does not hack or exploit Rapidshare servers. It is only a download manager which has the capability of auto recognizing CAPTCHA code and also ability to run third party tools based on error message detected in Rapidshare. There is nothing they can do other than periodically changing their CAPTCHA images.

NOTE: (E)lephant is VERY new and I believe it has yet to surface on any blogs other than here in Raymond.CC. If you’ve learn about (E)lephant from this page and think this news is useful and you’d like to post it on your blog, be kind to leave credit and linkback to this post. Thanks and happy downloading!
