rapidshare - dl problem
Something very strange is happening:
---
My download technique
As I am not a premium user, what I do is download a file, wait till it's finished, I go into my router login page and I disconnect and reconnect the connection hence giving me a different IP address - This in essence is rebooting the rooter. So once I have done this I have a different IP and once I then try a different Rapidshare file, it works fine - normally

I was download the game rFactor, and I download parts 1 - 16 with no problem, when it came to part 17 I couldn't download it, I though nothing of it at first, I disconnected and reconnected my rooter a second time, it still didn't work.
So, I removed all my cookies, restarted firefox, (reconn and disconn) and It still didn't work.
What I mean by "didn't work" is that it displays a message saying:
"You have reached the download-limit for free-users. Want to download more?
Get your own Premium-account now! Instant download-access! (Or wait 70 minutes)"
So what I did is to wait that amount of time in brackets. Then finally, it came up with the character recognition for me to type, I made sure I typed correctly but it then came up with: There was a problem, click here to try again. So I clicked, but when I came to type the characters it says, "you have typed too many wrong codes" So I waited for 10 mins and tried again and then it came up with the original problem again: it had set me a new time.

practice makes perfect, but if nobody is perfect then why practice?
