After trying a few of them that didn't work I came accross this: http://jdownloader.org/download/index

JDownloader is open source, platform independent and written completely in Java. It simplifies downloading files from One-Click-Hosters like Rapidshare.com or Megaupload.com - not only for users with a premium account but also for users who don't pay. It offers downloading in multiple paralell streams, captcha recognition, automatical file extraction and much more. Of course, JDownloader is absolutely free of charge. Additionally, many “link encryption” sites are supported - so you just paste the “encrypted” links and JD does the rest. JDownloader can import CCF, RSDF and the new DLC files.

Hopefully some of you will find it useful. If you have multiple files to downoad using a free account from rapidshare this will automate it. Also for people who don't have a static IP it can disconect your router get a new IP and resume the download so you don't have to wait 15 minutes between downloads

Thanks for the tip.

I use Internet Download Manager (IDM) and it's excellent!
