Hi guys, just upgraded my pc, had Vista installed and everything works well other than when I use Flashget as a download manager and attempt to download files from Rapidshare. I've been using this manager and download source for years and never had a problem, but now Flashget disconnects the download after about 3 secs. Flashget manages downloads from anywhere else but not Rapidshare. I can still download from Rapidshare direct but not via Flashget. It's probably worth noting that I've installed the latest version (8 I think) of AVG anti virus. Any ideas? :huh:

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve.
Do you have a premium account with RapidShare?

I can generally not download any files, what can I do?

If you do not have a Premium Account, you have to deactivate a possible Download Accelerator. This resolves the issue in most cases. If you are still encountering problems, you could possibly be blocking our cookies. Cookies are required for Proxy User

Have you saved your user name and pass in Flashget?

Thanks Guys, yes I have a premium account and always log in first before I use Flashget to download so it doesnt need my login and password, or at least it never has until now.
