Step 3Configure For Ultimate Automation
I have added most directions as comments on the images below. Here are the details:
(1) Go to Options and make sure Clipboard Monitoring is ticked. (default).
(2) Go to Options > Preferences > General and set,
(a) If filename already exists: Overwrite. If you dont overwrite the program asks you for permission to do so before continuing. This is annoying because we want this whole business to go on unattended. Its also stupid, because you cant resume Rapidshare downloads. So just overwrite it.
(b) Remove completed downloads: Immediately. If you like to check on the download progress, and especially the average download speed of the completed downloads, then leave this on Never, so you can do it manually. I did actually leave it on for a while, to see what it was doing, but then I felt that the Feng Shui of my desktop improved when I clicked on FR and saw no files in the queue, which means All Downloaded Successfully!
(c) Shortcuts: whatever you like, wherever you like them :) Works
(3) Go to Options > Preferences > Connections and set,
(a) Max concurrent downloads: Set it to the number of filesharing services you are going to use. In this case, we are configuring FreeRapid for use with RapidShare only, so set it to 1. Rapidshare only allows one connection per IP anyway.
(b) Error attempts count':' Setting this to -1 means indefinite, which in my book means I'll definately get the file, once the server frees up. This step plays into how dependable the program is, and minimizes my interaction with the program once I set it up.
(c) Autoconnect time:' 'There is a window between downloads, which is approximately every 15 minutes I think. Setting this to 1000 sec = 16 min 45 sec, adds some buffer to that time, just for Zen purposes and also keeps the program from hammering RapidShare. In the future they might build in some defences, which will preclude these kinds of programs. So we add this restraint to adhere with RapidShare's rules (a bit) :)
(4) Go to Options > Preferences > Alerts and turn off the sounds. They fraked me out in the middle of the night, every 20 mintes kept hearing them. Plus, your boss might hear them too and get suspicious!
(5) Go to Options > Preferences > UI Settings and let the program minimize to the System Tray, so you dont have to look at it all the time. I dont like clutter on my taskbar, so system tray is great.
In the next step, we add some files to download >>
