The two manuals on rapidshare are not alone as I have problems in downloading other files from rapidshare, just to see I tried registering on Rapidshare which requires a user name & a password & a "real" email address to which they now send a email to activate your registration to enable "login" to download files. Well that doesn’t work either for the manuals nor for other download files either.
Back maybe as far as February Rapidshare enabled SSL encryption on their site & a whole “lot of great improvements” (to extract money from more users) hence why the "security warning window" comes up as the site is now a HTTPS instead of HTTP. But regardless whether you register it won't allow downloads to your computer or saving files to my new Rapidshare Account. I enabled “allow Direct downloads” in my account settings to no avail.
From reading lots of Net forum posts it seems there are lots of reported download complaints regarding the exact same problem with Rapidshare since they changed their format - Free does not seem to exist anymore although it is not stated anywhere if this is the case!! Their FAQs seem to suggest that the normal Free downloads are still available with waiting time, speed limits etc. although everything is brought with Rapids?? So maybe because I have no rapids (& I am certainly not buying any) it won’t allow downloads.
Well on browsing their FAQs, News etc It appears to me that they have made it so complicated it is now unusable to most novice users - if it is a particular setting in the browsers for SSL by now I would have thought they would have a solution on their FAQs so maybe should be renamed "RapidShare – Difficult Filehosting"
So the FF links appear to be now useless unless maybe you are a paid-up with "Rapids" RapidPro or Premium user. - there are other alternatives
poppyfields - the eLearn is too large to email - 113MB, most email servers won't accept any larger than 15-20 MB if that.
