I am very much lazy person, if I have to do something twice. I like to do a copy paste. if need to do it more than that(2times) then I write a code. Downloading movies from RS is a pain for me. So, I have written a code to download them from the rapidShare site.

basically there is 2parts one,

Part 1 is getting the cookie form the site. You need an account (you can buy one from http://www.rapidearth.com/ )

Part 2 is downloading the files using the shell script.

Taking the cookie:


wget \
--save-cookies ~/.cookies/rapidshare \
--post-data "login=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD" \
-O - \
https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premiumzone.cgi \
> /dev/null

Now make a dl.sh I am really lazy, don’t even edit the code. make list.text file with urls, use it as input)


#!/bin/sh
while read LINE
do
wget -c --load-cookies ~/.cookies/rapidshare $LINE --no-check-certificate
done <$1

now, run it with

$ dl.sh list.txt

I am not trying to help anyone with this script. when I need this script, can not find the code anywhere. So, keeping it in the blog will help me find out next time!

Thank you.
