Here in this tutorial i am going to discuss about how to use wget to download files from rapidshare easily.
I am writing this tutorial because when i wanted to download multiple files from rapidshare i found the
easiest way was to use wget than any other material. Also there wasn’t any tutorial available which

Here I am going to explain how to use it in linux systems and for windows users i am planning to write
another tutorial separately.

$username= rapidshare username
$password= rapidshare password
