To use IDM with this site you
should follow steps below:
1. Please make sure that you have
installed the latest version of IDM. Old versions before 6.09 build 3 have a
bug with processing of cookies and may not work with sharing sites.
2.1. Please pay attention: you
should open Internet Explorer (exactly Internet Explorer, and not another
browser, independently of what browser you use for browsing the Internet) and
log in on the site as a premium user. To do this press "Login" (arrow
1 on the image). Then fill you user name and password, check "Remember
me" checkbox (arrow 2 on the image) and press "Login" (arrow 3
on the image). The site will set cookies in Internet Explorer which IDM is able
to use when you add downloads to IDM. Afterwards you can close the browser.
Please note, that you SHOULD NOT press "Logout" (arrow 2 on the next
image) in ANY browser. Otherwise, cookies will be changed.
If this
does not help, then maybe your browser does not save cookies. Please read here
for possible reasons and solutions.
To check
that your cookies are set correctly, open www.rapidgator.net in your browser.
You should be logged in. If you have to log in manually, then cookies are not
set correctly.
2.2. Don't
try to download Rapidgator links directly from other sites via browser context
menu.
2.3. Open
a link to a file you want to download in another window of your browser and
press "CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD" (arrow 1 on the image):
3. If you have free account on Rapidgator, you
will not be able to resume your downloads. This also means that you cannot use
a queue.
You need
to enable "Start downloading immediately while displaying "Download
File Info" dialog" option in "Options->Downloads"
dialog.
To
download a file, please do the following:
3.1 Open
the link in your browser and select "SLOW SPEED DOWNLOAD":
3.2 Wait
the necessary time:
3.3 Then
enter and submit the CAPTCHA:
3.4 Do not
simply click on download button. This site permits requesting temporary
download link only one time. If browser sends the first request, IDM cannot
download it. This why, you need to right click on this button and select
"Download with IDM" browser context menu item. Alternativelly, you
can hold "Ins" key to force IDM to start the download before browser.
4. Problem
may happen if you use some proxy. It is better if you not use any proxy at all.
If you absolutely cannot avoid using proxy, you should use the same proxy in
your browser and in IDM. Otherwise, the site will think that you use different
IPs for this download and download will fail because a temporary link can be
downloaded only from a single IP address. Please note that the same relates to
different applications that try to control your internet traffic and acts like
local proxy. It can be some kind of FireWall/Antivirus or other security
applications. If you use your browser via such application, you should use IDM
via it as well.
5. Also if
you use FireFox problems may happen if you use extensions from third party
companies to transfer downloads in IDM, for example Flashgot. IDM can perfectly
detect downloads itself but if you really want to use Flashgot, at least update
it to the latest version.
6. If IDM
still does not download from Rapidgator, this means that you did something
wrong in previous steps. Please check again.
