How to Avoid Rapidshare and Megaupload Download Limits and Wait Times

Internet service with fixed IP addresses.


First, figure out what your current IP address is by going to IP Chicken.com. Write down the series of numbers that are displayed. This is your current IP address.


Then, follow the steps below to get a new IP:



1. Go to Start->Run and type in “cmd” without quotes to bring up the command prompt. Hit Enter.

2. Type in “ipconfig /flushdns” without quotes and hit Enter.


3. Type in “ipconfig /release” without quotes and hit Enter.


4. Type in “ipconfig /renew” without quotes and hit Enter. You should now have a new IP address. Check your IP address at IP Chicken again and compare it to the one you got earlier.


5. Now, erase your browser’s cache and cookies.


6. Try downloading the Rapidshare or Megaupload file again.
