Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with Rapidshare. There are few other things to try, though:
Simple solution:
- Ask your customer to use another free data storage service. An excellent one is Dropbox (www.getdropbox). 2GB of space per user and he can place the files into a public folder and send you the direct link to it.
Or you can open an Dropbox account and allow the customer to upload the file(s).
There is of course no limit on how many times you can download a file.
Excellent support for Windows, Mac and Linux. Nobody is left out.
A-bit-less-simple:
- Use a proxy to connect to the internet (just for that, you can disable it afterwards)
http://www.rapidownload.net/tips/byp...wnload-limits/ shows some ways to 'bend' the limits of rapidshare. One of them is surfing using a proxy server
There are plenty of free proxy servers (see URL, there's another link to a list on that page). A proxy is a thingy in the middle between you and the internet. Everytime you surf the web, the server you're visiting - eg. Rapidshare - sees the IP of the proxy and not yours. That'd be a quick way to get a new IP.
Mmhhh, that's about what I can think of. I prefer the first suggestion (Dropbox) but it depends on the willingness of your customer to do some additional work.
Cheers,
Thomas
