How can I download Rapidshare files (I have premium access) on my Ubuntu server? It doesn't have any GUI.

I know what you're looking for: http://code.google.com/p/plowshare/ There's deb package provided too.
If you know the URL for the file you need, use wget or curl.
curl http://path.to.file.com/myfiles/file.jpg -o ~/myfile.jpg

i think this will fail in one of two ways: a) there'll be no direct download link for the file (on a non-premium download, you access it with a button); or b) he'll need to supply login credentials to access a direct download link. i'm pretty sure
curl
can supply those credentials (tho i don't thinkwget
can), but i don't know what those options would be ... and it'll depend on how rapidshare handles logins. any suggestions? Dec 23, 2009 at 23:37 -
you can add custom headers with wget too, so you can include the cookies from a browser (this only a theoretical possibility, and depends on many details of the website)– bandiDec 24, 2009 at 0:04
