1. Assuming this is the first time you're installing Internet Download Manager, download it and install it, and apply the
patch.
2. After installing, it should integrate with your Internet browser (IE or Firefox). You'll see some new things in your context menu.
3. Open up IDM and you'll see this interface.
4.(optional) Go to Downloads -> Options, and then go to the File Types tab. Delete all of the file extensions in the first box and all of the URLs in the second box. Doing this will prevent IDM from downloading every single file you click when downloading from IE or Firefox.
5. Go to the Site Logins tab. Press the New button. Change the URL type from ftp:// to http://. Type in rapidshare.com in the box after the URL prefix. Then type your premium login, with the numbers as your username and your password in the remaining boxes.
6.(optional) In the main IDM Window, you may want to edit your categories a little bit if you want to be organized. Otherwise, the downloads will end up in My Documents\Downloads\*category*.
7. To download from RapidShare directly instead of getting past a page with captchas, log into your RapidShare account from your browser. Go to options, and check the box with Direct Downloads.
8. Now test it out. Find an app with a few more than 2 links hosted on RS. Highlight a whole list in your browser, right click the list of URLs and then click Download with IDM. You should see a batch download window with the correct file sizes.
If you don't see that, but you get HTML files abroad, something might be wrong with your login. If you see some files with correct sizes but some with HTML, they may be have been removed by RapidShare or the server may be down (which isn't likely).
9. Check all of the boxes that you wish to download and set a download location. They will be put into a queue in IDM.
