Rapidshare problem, anyone else getting this?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Is anyone else having this problem?

I have a premium account with RS and have never had a problem downloading from various locations before (I have a laptop that I use at work, school and home). The day before yesterday I ran CCleaner and defragged my laptop's harddrive with PerfectDisk. Now I am only able to use Rapidshare at work but nowhere else. I can login to my premium account from other locations but I can't download anything! The error I get when I try to download from other locations is:

The premium account XXXXXX is already in use with another ip. It looks like this account is used on different computers at the same time.

Please try again later.

IP: XX.XX.XXX.XXX - YY.YYY.YYY.Y/YY.

I tried clearing my entire internet history via Internet Properties, but it didn't help. My laptop is EXTREMELY protected, so I'm 99.9% sure I haven't been hacked. I've emailed RS support FOUR FRIGGIN' TIMES and haven't received a single response. WTF?

Anyone know what's going on here, or have a solution?

Thanks!

yeah i have the same problem and this is what rapidshare support had to say

it is not a problem to use an account at several computers or with differentIP addresses but you can not download from different IP addresses at the sametime if they are not in the same subnet.

Example:

123.234.77.234 123.234.77.232

-> same IP-Subnet, simultaneously downloads possible.

123.45.67.89 123.45.60.11

-> not the same IP-Subnet, no simultaneously downloads possible.

It is also forbidden to share the account with other persons or to post logindata in forums. With the link "View Logs" in the premium zone you can see how much you havedownloaded on each day and from what IP-address. If there are IP-addresses listed that you do not know, please change yourpassword in the premium zone using the link "settings" and make sure that yourcomputer and email-address are secure so nobody could access yourRapidShare-account.

which means you can only sign up from one place at a time. and make sure you delete the old cookie if you want to sign up from somewhere else.

They did this probably to stop accounts being shared but still it screws up the people who usually log in from different places or has dynamic ip. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I've got the same friggin problem as you guys. I can only download 1 file at a time instead of before when i was able to download 8 files at a time using flashget. I have to clear cookies on my Browser and wait for 15min before i can download my next file. Its getting on my nerves. What to you mean by IP-subnet and all those stuff above i dont get it... rapidshare better fix this ****. How are you guys coping with the problem. i cant live like this forever.

it has something to do with our routers right? or internet connection

I think your first suspicion is correct, it's to stop people from sharing their accounts. I guess RS has the right to do this, but the the method they're using is strictly amatuer hour.

How friggin' hard is it to have your server see the difference between an account being used simultaneously from multiple locations vs. just being used in different locations at different times???

I suggest we all keep emailing our complaints to them so they will fix this crap. I doubt they'll bother otherwise.

Thanks leechers for sending RS into lockdown mode. Well done, ######.

Yes i have a same problem; my IP is dynamic IP; i check in FAQS they said clearly that premium account wont be check for IP but only cookies; and i am using premium account; but still having the same problem. I sent them many letter but recieved none; . They better fix it fast; or people will quit using them. They still waiting now cause some old files till host by rapidshare.

Pot callin kettle black aint it. Its not like there's some kind of share ratio that keeps everyone happy. :rofl:

Excuse me? I PAY for the rapishare service and I DON'T give out my account info to other people. There is no "sharing" of data amongst RS users, like you have in bittorrent; everything is hosted on the RS servers.

In other words, you're comparing apples and oranges.

hello everyone,

i got exactly the same problem with rapidshare, i have a premium account and previously i was downloading multiple files with download manager till thursday . now the same error comes , and with great difficulty only one file can be downloaded. i have tried removing all cookies from wherever i have used rapidshare but still it says the same. even changing the password has no effect . and getting a reply from rapidshare is next to impossible. i am wondering wether it is a problem of transparent proxies from Etisalat that is the culprit. Is it possible that they may have made some changes at their end.

Any suggestions?

milind

i create a new Premium account with rapidshare !

i am using one computer only

i did never give my account for any body !

i changed my password 4 times !!

and i trust that i have good security system !

the First link it is working good , but when i use next links give me the same ERROR !

They answer me same thing !!!

what is wrong ?

Please tell me ?? :wacko:

Everyone here has the same problem with premium account since the last few week - 1 week in my case - they all sent messages complain to rapidshare; they replied that they tried to fix it - in my case none are replied - . All we can do is switch to another service while waiting and curse them ^_^

Omg I thought it was somethin i was doin wrong!!! I got the same response from them that everyone else is getting and i was thinking huh that makes no damn sense when i have a dynamic ip......and i too am still gettin the error message and my download manager will not download any files unless i get lucky...this is annoying me

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
