Would like to download this myself but I get the typical pain in the butt rapidshare message off:

Quote:
You have reached the download-limit for free-users. Want to download more?
Get your own Premium-account now! Instant download-access! (Or wait 119 minutes)
....and the annoying part is I haven't downloaded anything!!

Thats why and many others hate rapidshare links.

If you're sitting on a Net access that is shared among multiple people (usually LAN at home or work) then you'll be seen as a single IP adress from the outside. As Rapidshare records downloads based on IP addresses - what else could it do?! -, it will tell you that you already downloaded stuff. Actually, no, you didn't, but someone from your LAN did.

(Sorry for the lecture if you already knew this... )

Your lectures are always welcome with me Joe

Yes I did know that and yes i am on a lan, but the other 2 systems are my kids and they wouldnt know what rapidshare is. And it wasnt me who downloaded from there.

I just dont like rapidshare and I guess rapidshare doesnt like me lol
