Rapidshare Points Collector

admin — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 02:30:21 +0000

I have tried Rapidshare GetPoints v2.3.3, but I have never got it work, so I wrote this myself…

I have seen a lot apps claim that they can “hack”/”trick” rapidshare to give you 1000 points per hour or something like that… totally bullshit… the best case I have got is the app doesn’t work, and most of the time, it’s just another virus that steals your rapidshare account…

REMEBER: YOU DON’T NEED TO GIVE YOUR ACCOUNT NAME AND PASSWORD TO COLLECT POINTS!!!!!

As stated on Rapidshare website: “Each time a Free Users downloads your files, you gain points. You get a RapidPoint for each download, provided that the file is bigger than 5 megabyte and the user has not generated more than 3 RapidPoints in the last hour. Premium users can generate for you up to 255 points per day. Your files have to be stored in the Collector’s Zone or the Premium Zone so that we can assign the download to your account. RapidPoints can be exchanged for a Premium Account, or to extend your Premium membership. For this, you can go to the menu option “Redeem RapidPoints” in the Free Zone or Premium Zone.”

The appplicate is simple. You upload a file larger than 5MB into your premium or collector account. Copy the link into the application, and click start. The application will keep download that file as a free user, which generates 1 point every download.

The problem is one IP can only generate 90 points every day. Therefore, you need to run this application on at least 3 different machines (IPs) to get the maximum points (255) Rapidshare allows to generate everyday.

The solution I come up is to get a few free PHP web sites, like the one I am using www.ueuo.com. And use PHP to download the file through that web server. I do have a set of scripts that can successfully download files from Rapidsahre.com as free user. But I am too lazy to clean it up, and put it here. I will see whether people will use this or not first. Don’t wanna put a lot efforts and just get wasted…

The PHP one includes two parts. One is the PHP scripts that used to download files from Rapidshare.com as a free user. The second part is a JAVA app, that periodically call the PHP scripts. PHP cannot be run as a daemon, so you need a app to triger the PHP script periodically.

Randomize the sectors to create a secure file system

This is a idea I have talked with Remzi just a couple days ago. The basic idea is trying to divide an important documents into several small pieces and hide them on different computers with in a cluster. It’s kind like the P2P software, bittorrent. His idea is that if the pieces on different computers can move around within the grid, it will increase the security. But my argument is how novel this idea is? It doesn’t sound to be a great Ph.D. topic, maybe a paper through. Anyway, trying to do some research on this…

Here are some references I am looking at:

a place to archive my various ideas

Well, I have started the Ph.D. quite a long time ago, but till now I still haven’t found a good and novel idea. It’s not that I have no idea at all, but just keep losing interest on things. And moreover, it’s probably because of the lacking of the background researches. So I am trying to use this blog to keep tracking all the ideas I had as well as a place to manage the references.

Hope this will work…
