I've done a lot of research on this subject because it is much more common for people to upload files using file hosting services such as megaupload and rapidshare. They continue to try to push on their premium accounts on to the daily users who don't really want to put up any money for downloading which should be free.So i've compiled a few techniques I've used to bypass the limits of free downloading accounts and leave you feeling just as content with yourself as if you had a premium account.Download Managers:Now with the prominent use of file hosts people have come out with working download managers that bypass image verification and waiting time of those here is the best one i've come accross:Rapget(https://suspended.stablehost.com/):By far the best download manager for file hosting sites. Not only does it bypass the image verification it also supports over 100 file hosts (megaupload and rapidshare for those who use it most) and even automates wait time. So downloading is simple as copying the link to the clipboard.Anonymous browsing (proxy etc.):I have had no luck with using proxies.period. There is no actually working proxy list that you can find on the web. Your best bet is using proxy services. The best by far is https://anonym.to/(then add the dl link here). That on the other hand has worked for me every time.Change your ip:Here are two methods to change your ip in winxp:go to Start-> Runtype cmd.exethen type the following line by line:ipconfig /flushdnsipconfig /release ipconfig /renewnote:i've tried this on multiple machines with different connections and it seems it doesnt work to well with dsl but on the other hand if you have cable this saves alot of time.For experienced users you can also stick those commands in a batch file for easy access.Reset your modem:go to your modem and simple turn it off for 20 secs and turn it back on that should do the trick. The only problem i have with that is it takes atleast 2 more minutes for you to get back online.Those are the methods that have been pretty effective for me.
