Use Rapidstack To Find Favorite Rapidshare Download Links

find-rapidshare-download-links We have showed you tricks on how to MakeUseOf your Rapidshare accounts with some free Rapidshare tools here before. Now using a simple website we can also find rapidshare download links using a simple search filed.

Yup, you can now search for what you want and download it. I have used Google to find Rapidshare download links before but this site called RapidStack is just oh so much better!

Rapidshare does not maintain a directory of the files it hosts. It relies on users trading URL’s and bloggers posting them. But now this amazing site does what was impossible before.

(Just a FYI, I was not able to get to it using www.RapidStack.com due to some DNS issues but http://RapidStack.com works just fine!).

Let’s check it out. I will start off by saying there is no logging in, signing up or fancy options. But it does its job VERY well. I mean there is nothing else you need to do other than have a set of keywords that you want to search for. If you know the file name that you want, that will make it even easier.

You navigate your browser on any platform over to the site and type in a keyword just like any other search engine. I typed in Simpsons. I was looking for Sundays first High Definition Simpsons episode. I hit enter and got back this screen:

It took me about 40 seconds to get to 30% and about 2 minutes to get my full listings. But in all fairness their servers are getting bombarded by traffic from all the people catching on! You can jump in as soon as you see the first listing appear. Next to the title you will see how many Rapidshare links it found and in smaller text where they were snatched from.

Hit that “Extract Links” button.

You will then get a list of Rapidshare links to get each of your files. In this case the 6 files all make up a spanned rar archive that when combined and extracted – it will give me what I want!

You can copy and paste those links into your browser one at a time or even into a word editor that makes active web links from URL’s. Or, better use Linkrr to convert list of texh URLs to clickable links with a single click.

I have used a multiple file downloader for inputting long lists of URLs and it returns a page with clickable links. But when I went to grab the link for the site my Firefox told me that they have hosted malware in the past 90 days so I will not be sharing that link with you now.

As Karl clearly states at the beginning of the article :
