RapidShare’s popularity as a service got developers to start rolling out all sort of tools to assist the end user in handling links and downloads in an easier and more comfortable way. Rapidshare Auto Downloader was designed with that exact concept in mind and is aimed at automatically downloading multiple RapiShare links.

After an ultra-fast installation, you can run the downloader. The interface is quite simple and organized, providing access to all of the program’s functions via several panels that hold the download links, the completed ones and a detailed report of each download.

The most obvious advantage of the software is that it can download multiple links; the downside is that it downloads them one by one and not simultaneously. The download list can be saved and loaded at a later time.

Other features include an auto shutdown option, a short or long wait period of time for downloads, the possibility to ignore the links with a "more than 200 MB files" message, as well as options to re-download any of the links.

Rapidshare Auto Downloader’s preferences allow you to integrate antivirus scans and to configure the sound and balloon notifications for various download scenarios.

To sum up, Rapidshare Auto Downloader is speedy and asks for very little system resources. If you’re a Rapidshare fan and you use their services on a daily basis, this utility can save you the effort of manually handling download links.
