How to download from Rapidshare and Megaupload to your web space

Leech 4 youRapidLeech is a PHP script using which you input a RapidShare or MegaUpload link to have the file downloaded to your web hosting space. It will essentially give you one additional virtual computer to which you can download from major file sharing services. This is useful since RapidShare limits the number of files (based on file size) that you can download in a given time (This limit also applies to your RapidLeech installation - meaning, you can’t keep downloading for ever, the usual limit still applies).

Rapid Leech is a free server transfer script for use on various popular upload/download sites such as megaupload.com - The script transfers files from rapid share (for example) via your fast servers connection speed and dumps the file on your server.


RapidLeech works with Rapidshare, MegaUpload, MyTempDir, getfile.biz, webfile.ru. Once set up, you can not only download from these file sharing services, but also from any other direct HTTP URL.

The current latest vesion of RapidLeech is v2.3_build_23_08_2007. Below are the steps to set it up on your hosting space:
1- Download RapidLeech from here and extract the contents.
2- Edit config.php in configs folder.

* It’s theoretically possible to set a username and password to limit the access to your RapidLeech page, but it didn’t work for us. You can try it by changing $login to false and changing the $users value.
* Set $download_dir_is_changeable to false.
* Save and close the file.
3- Upload all the folders and index.php to where you want to install RapidLeech. For security reason, it’s better to name this directory to something other than rapidleech.
4- CHMOD files directory to 777.
5- 5. If you haven’t set a access username and password, use your hosting panel to do so. Else, others might mis(over)use your installation.

Visit the RapidLeech installation page. To download, paste the download link and press Download file button (you may leave the Referrer value blank). The downloaded files might not be visible when you click the Server Files tab. Simply click the Show Everything link. From here, you can download, rename and delete the files.
