As most of you probably know, Rapidshare is going to delete Files from XXL Premium Accounts which haven't been dowloaded for more than 90 Days. 

I used the following Procedure to refresh the Download dates for all my files 


1: Start Flashget, go to Options, Connections and set simultaneous Downloads to 1 

2: Go here for all your files 


Code:
https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premiumzone.cgi?export=13: Export your Rapidsharelinks, copy them into Flashget. 

4: Fill in your RS details and select a floppy disk/Small USB/Virtual Drive to save files to. 

5: Due to the lack of Freespace the downloading of the File is aborted and Flashget tries to download the next on the List. 
This goes on until all Links are "downloaded" 

6.Copied the links to a notepad then imported the links to RS. Of course they pinged back as not enough space and it did 867 files in less than 10 minutes

IT REALLY WORKS


Direct your d/l manager to somewhere that has ZERO space available or very minimal space like a full flash drive, virtual drive, or a full floppy disc. 
Set your download manger to only download 1 link at a time 
Start your downloads. 
RS thinks your downloading a file so it changes the date to today, but your computer actually isn't downloading anything. 
Your d/l Manager will filter through all the links attempting to download something til it s done. 
When it's complete, clear all your incomplete downloads from your Manager's cache and reset your Manager to your preferences to your previous setup. 
Log into your RS premium account and if you look at the last download dates they will all now say todays date. 

I am new to both this site and rapidshare, so I hope, if what I say proves wrong, (although it worked for me) you will bear that in mind and not rip me to shreds.

OK here I go...
I went to my rs premium page to view the stats (I am pleased so may of you are downloading my first set of files) and noticed each file listed is selectable. Out of curiosity I clicked on a file name and my browser downloader popped up. I cancelled the download. I then refreshed the premium page and noticed the file download count had increased by one, the last downloaded date had changed to the current time and my total download count had not risen.

It strikes me that this is a quick and simple way to overcome the 90 day rule.

Obviously if you have a huge library of files this method may be more time consuming than Jormungund's excellent instructions, but may be of use to some members.
