Im sure most anons know about the rapget program at www.rapget.com that lets you put in links from hosting services like rapidshare/megaupload/etc and it will download automatically for you, figuring out the waiting time, entering in any verification codes, so on so forth for you.
As my ISP uses proxy servers, most hosting services freak out and think im already downloading or just downloaded some file and screws me over with waiting time(why the hell cant they detect my real IP anyway, instead of just the proxy IP). Rapget allowed me to get a chance to download the file as i stood a chance of getting the download before the other people that use the same proxy.
At version 1.34 or 1.35, ive noticed that rapget just isnt working properly anymore. Previously if there was a waiting period, rapget would be able to detect it and set the waiting time accordingly. If i had to wait one hour to download the next file, rapget would be able to detect it, and set the program to try again one hour later. Now, it no longer does so. It just keeps trying again and again in whatever waiting time is specified in the options(default 5 mins, so it just spams it every 5 mins, even though the waiting time is 2 hours + or something).
So basically, for nearly 2 weeks straight, ive had the comp on 24/7 and not been able to get a single file. And for some reason, the program quietly closes itself after a period of time if i try to grab a sendspace.com file.
Does anyone know what the hell is going on? The author has a email address listed but never replies to any emails.
