kih nyaknya (aka TMNET throttled down rapidshare download)

i was in the office working my ass out when suddenly my YM spat out another popup box onto my already full of YM-boxes desktop(disclaimer: i was working like hell...not fooling around :D)...and it went something like this:

jantan malang: buzz
jantan malang: woi ceper..rs mung kena virus, nnatang
betik bertuah: doh bakpe dok bang?
jantan malang: bang mung
betik bertuah: virus guana pulok?
jantan malang: slow nok mapuh...jok mmareng
betik bertuah: line mung aa tu...dok pon kih mung donlod blue...mahathir marah
jantan malang: kalu blue dakper...slow pon aku tebeng gok tunggu...nin aku donlod berita perdana...wat bbabi apa tunggu lama2
jantan malang: pah ceroh 5kb/s
betik bertuah: ke kih mung dok ingat tambat kambing..ssakuk gok tu

jantan malang: nasib baik aku bukang gay...kalu dok aku ambik doh mung wat jd laki
betik bertuah: mung jadi bapok mekap lawo2 pon aku tak mboh
[the rest of the conversation was about how to make a donkey fly...we concluded a donkey really can't fly...there's no flying donkey like the rumor goes *sigh*]

finished up my work chores, then it was the time to dust my brain off...jeez, haven't used it for a long time...
i ventured, it's gotta had something to do with TMNet throttling down their customers'(read victims') bandwidth when downloading from certain sites in order to keep their ass clean and maybe rapidshare had hit the jackpot...i'd asked him to use IP address instead of the usual domain address...after exchanged a hell lot of 'nnatang', 'brayok' and whatnot (he was really a dolt...can't help but to swear to get him through...haha), we managed to get the engine running on the full throttle...

apparently, our deary TMNet are throwing a nasty party in certain places...Sri Permasuri is one of them...
luckily, they were just playing with domain name filtering...so if you're one of the poor TMNet bandwith leechers, try this:

1) get the actual download link...(e.g: "http://rs127gc.rapidshare.com/files/123456789/fileToBeDownloaded.rar"...so its domain is "rs127gc.rapidshare.com")
2) now, go get its IP...you can ping its domain to determine its IP...or you could use any website that offers this kind of service (e.g: http://dig-nslookup.nmonitoring.com/dns-dig-nslookup.html)...
3) substitute the domain name with its IP...(e.g: so your new actual download link is: "http://64.215.245.128/files/123456789/fileToBeDownloaded.rar"
4) enjoy your download

but what if i wanted to batch my downloads, you asked...you really will be damned with tiresome chores of CTRL+C, CTRL+V, CTRL+f*****C, CTRL+f*****V...at the end of the day, you'll be running out of profanities...running out of wits, that's ok...but running out of profanities?...that's horrible with capital A!!..

pucker up and kiss this:
(things in mind: i've abandonned Orbit...and so have Aria2C...rapidshare hates them and would suspend your account if you were sharing your rapidshare account and having some downloads from multiple IPs...now i'm a IDM's slave..drats!)

1) i assumed you had setup your "site login" option in IDM and turned on the "Automatically start downloading of URLs placed to clipboard"
2) make a folder...name it whatever you want...start a notepad and copy this into it and save it to the folder as a batch file(with .bat extension): ====================================================================================
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set progFile=%ProgramFiles%
if not "[%ProgramFiles(x86)%]"=="[]" set progFile=%ProgramFiles(x86)%

if not exist export.txt (echo no exported download lists file&&goto :end)
start "" "%progFile%\Internet Download Manager\idman.exe"
for /f %%a in (export.txt) do call :getHostByName %%a

:startQ
set /p startDownload=Start the download queue? [Y^|N]:

if "%startDownload%"=="N" goto :end
if "%startDownload%"=="n" goto :end
if "%startDownload%"=="Y" goto :beginDownload
if "%startDownload%"=="y" goto :beginDownload
echo Invalid input
goto :startQ

:beginDownload
"%progFile%\Internet Download Manager\idman.exe" /s
echo ...done...
echo.
:end
pause
goto :eof

:getHostByName
set url=%1

for /f "tokens=2 delims=/" %%p in ('echo %url%') do set hostname=%%p
for /f "tokens=2 delims=@" %%q in ('echo %hostname%') do if %%q neq 0 set hostname=%%q
for /f "tokens=4 delims=: " %%r in ('ping -n 1 %hostname%^|find /i "Statistics"') do set url=!url:%hostname%=%%r!

"%progFile%\Internet Download Manager\idman.exe" /a /d !url!
goto :eof
===================================================================================
if you were lazy(doh! who's not?), the download link for the batch file is at the bottom of this entry

3) copy your links of download and your IDM will initiate your batch download automatically...put them in your "main download" queue but don't start the download yet...
4) export your download as a text file to the folder that contains the batch file...name it "export.txt"
i.e: Tasks>>Export>>To text file and select "Export Download Queue"
5) delete the download list in the IDM that you'd exported
6) double-click the batch file...when the whole download list were pumped in into the IDM, the batch file will ask whether you want to start the download...choose "no" to download later...or "yes" to start it immediately
7) done...you can delete the exported text file of download list if you want...

so that's it: copy download links, export, delete, run batch file, enjoy...

it'll be simpler had anyone generous enough to make a php file for this and host it on his website...i bet it's gonna be just 2-steps task...paste, click and copy...is that 3 steps?..nevermind...

don't ask me for that one..i'm a cheap bastard who are not willing to pay to any web-hosting provider to host my shikes...haha
besides, i'm not a php monkey...i'm a monkey poacher...arrrg!!

and here comes the junk...i know that...just suck on it :D...

Rapidshare Premium cookie (ssekuk)

this is not the ordinary stolen cookie tragedy where you woke up in the morning with sunshine on your face and wobbled to your favourite morning-spot only to find out your cookie jar was empty or better yet, your cookie jar was mysteriously missing altogether so you casted yourself to the corner of your room head between your toes feeling dejected...cheer up! they're just cookies anyway :D

if you're a rapidshare premium user and having "direct download" option enabled, listen here intensely...your cookie is not safe...it could be stolen...
how could it be stolen?...it's for another story...
so what's the big deal getting your cookie stolen?...rapidshare cookie is lame...it has the following format

user=xxxxx-yyyyyyy
xxxxx = your account ID number
yyyyyy = password in url-encoded format...

once it's stolen, your privacy is compromised...they could learn your password or utilize the cookie to get premium account priviledges...

unbelievable?..believe it...that's what happended to my account last week...no, it's not because of phishing sites...it's the cookie...i can swear on that...i don't mind if they used my cookie actually...but they used up all my bandwidth!...filthy dang thieves haha

so we have a few options to overcome this...

1) import/export cookie:
i use Orbit Downloader, the best downloader on the market..having tried other downloaders(flashget, DAP, IDM, etc), with lame Streamyx at my disposal, getting broken files is not a surprise...but with Orbit Downloader, i'd be scared to death if there's a broken file wahaha...

so here are the steps:
- clear all the cookies/cache of IE using all means you could find (e.g: CCleaner)
- login to your rapishare account to get the cookie set
- export your cookie (on IE goto File >> Import/Export >> export cookies)...save it as cookie.txt
- logout your rapidshare account
- open the cookie.txt and delete other cookies except this line:

rapidshare.com TRUE / FALSE 123456789 user xxxxx-yyyyyyyyyy

- then save it

so when you wanna download something from rapidshare:
- make sure "Clipboard Monitoring" option is enabled on your Orbit Downloader..
- browse to the site containing the dowload URLs using your favourite browser...
- copy all the URLs...the Orbit will pop up waiting for your action...
- open the IE, import the cookie (File >> Import/Export >> Import Cookies)...
- start the download...
- when the Orbit has initiated the downloads, you could now delete the cookie by inserting this URL to your IE browser...

https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premium.cgi?logout=1 <--- for rapishare.com acc
http://rapidshare.de/cgi-bin/premium.cgi?logout=1 <---- for rapishare.de acc

it would display "The Cookie has been deleted."..and yes, your imported cookie has been deleted...you could bookmark the URL if you want...

- everytime you wanna download, import the RS cookie, initiate download and delete the cookie...

but it has some major drawbacks...
say you download 20 files on one go...the files with "waiting" status on the Orbit can't be downloaded after you deleted the cookie...you're gonna have to wait until the last file had been initiated before you could delete the cookie...
or you let your friends use your account and they forgot to delete the cookie...
or you yourself forgot to delete the cookie :D...

so Aria2 CLI downloader comes to the rescue...

2) Aria2 with "Direct Download" option disabled
with "Direct Download" option disabled at your rapidshare account, no cookie will be set/used...and Orbit Downloader can't work well in this scenario...even if you used "Login to Server" option...and you can't use your exported cookie for batch download in Orbit..

but Aria2 can la boss...
pstt...with the same file, 160kbps for Orbit but 200kbps using Aria2 on my flimsy 1Mbps Streamyx...isn't it amazing? :D...promo aside, first, you should get your hands dirty before you could enjoy this awesome downloader...and oh! it's portable..you could resume your downloads anywhere...

because it's command-line downloader, meaning, there's no GUI, don't let it scare you away...even if you're an acute Windozer wahaha...
read and learn...usually, you wanna use it like this:

aria2c --http-user=RSUSERNAME --hhtp-passwd=RSPASSWORD -i url.txt -s10 -j4 --dir=D:\My Download

and there's a GUI for Aria2...(but you should alter it a bit to use http-user and http-passwd option because there's a small mistake in its c0ding...find all "password" instances and replace them with "passwd" instead)...

but i don't like the GUI as it will freeze there on your desktop on top of other windows while you're downloading files...or you're a Firefox die hard fan armed with Flashgot, with "direct download" disabled, it doesn't seem to work well with Aria2 on Windows...

so with the help of suitable amount of niccotines in my bloodstream, i made this lame batch file for my rapidshare need...it has batch download, single download, resume download (even for different download folder) and other basic shikes.. why not using C++ or something for GUI for this Aria2 you may asked...being busy and all that, i think this batch file will live a long life :D...besides, i love CLI :D...

so here's the batch file if you wanna give it a try...tested on Windows XP and Vista...you should 'configure' it in setting.txt file....no warranty, no help file, ask here if you got problems or just ditch it into your recycle bin :D...
