Having a similar problem to the above. Rapidgator links stopped working about a week ago. Premium Rapidgator account. Can download a link in browser or when using @#$%&. Have installed FRD on a different pc. Still not working.

I have the same thing with Rg. It seems Rg did something a bit sneaky somehow (not sure why they would screw-over their own business), I for one if I cannot solve it, then I'll not renew my account with them and go to Nf.

If you open a link in a browser in a new Tab; I use Wf and Chrome (I hate IE, so can't validate on that), then leave it awaiting download but do nothing with it at all, so looks like:

Downloading:
jetAudio_HD_Music_Player_Plus_v10.4.1_Amazon_sanet.st.apk

just leave it like that (I left about 15 links like this overnight), in the morning, every link failed with some error but if I did an F5 refresh on the page, the link worked again, so they must leave an element on the page, that expires or changes during the delay it is left for and I suspect it is this that breaks the Rg plugin, so I don't think it's a plugin fault per-se but still need to isolate exactly what changes on the page and what can be done about it.

I'm not a developer (and never really messed much with java but I'll do what I can and if I find it, I will of course let folks knaw, cheers, Martin.

Hi.
