Proven ways to speed up download, skip pages, auto captcha on most popular file sharing services.
Today, the free file-hosting services are widely presented on the internet. These all services provide you a completely free file-hosting on the internet, allowing you to download, upload and share large files with your friends and family easily.
Rapidshare is probably the most popular service currently available for you. But, there are so much more similar sites that can provide you the same (and more) functionalities and options. I specially like and regularly use Megaupload, Mediafire and Uploading.com.
You have probably tried to download something from one of these sites at least once in your life. Then you should know how frustrating it can be to download something from them. In most cases, these websites have some restrictions for free users:
- Countdown – Most free file-hosting services gives you opportunity to download files hosted on their servers for free – but you have to wait before the actual download.
- Download Limit – In most cases, you would be limited to download only 1 file per time. Also, some services have limitations in bandwidth per hour, day or a month.
- Upload Limit – With free accounts on these services you can upload files with limited size. If you pay for the premium account, this restriction would increase.
- Speed Limitation – Some free file hosting services also have their own speed limitations. In most cases, you would not need more speed but it can be useful for fast broadband connections.
In this post I would like to show you some best and proven ways to bypass these unnecessary pages on the most popular free file-hosting websites. Of course, all these ways are completely legal and you can use all these ways completely for free! Enjoy downloading.
SkipScreen Way
This is the way I use to skip these unnecessary pages easily. It works pretty well and it is a proven way to bypass these pages completely for free.
This little useful application is actually a Firefox extension and you can download and use it now.
SkipScreen works with: Rapidshare, Megaupload, MediaFire, Uploaded.to, zShare, Sharebee, DepositFiles, Sendspace and much more on the way. [check supported sites]
Greasemonkey User Scripts
GreaseMonkey is a scripting application which enable anyone to create and develop easy and small scripts to change other websites behavior, style and functionality.
GreaseMonkey is originally created for Mozilla Firefox web browser. There are some extensions which enable you to execute GM scripts on other web browsers like Greasemetal for Google Chrome or GreaseKit for Mac OS Safari web browser.
I would recommend you some of the best user scripts which you can use:
- NoDelay – The script is designed to automatically bypass delaying tactics by the providers of the service, to reach the download link or to a point where human interaction is actually needed.
- MegaUpload Helper – Clears up the cluttered Megaupload page, leaving only the captcha box. Once the timer runs out, download starts automatically. You can also auto-fill Megaupload captcha code.
- Easy Download Script – This is a project with the aim to make files on file hosts sites to be easily downloaded like direct links with the minimum effort. Supports many services!
You can find many more scripts by visiting Userscripts database. All you need to do is to search through the thousands of available scripts completely for free!
Of course, there are some other ways with which you can bypass unnecessary pages on popular file-hosting services. I have posted here only tools I have personally used and tested. So, these are all just the proven ways to do this!
