Proxies by Chris4 on 04-21-2007 at 12:18 AM
Proxies never seem to work for me.
I'm trying to get around the rapidshare 'You have downloaded too many files' message. I've tried numerous things (like ipconfig /flushdns, etc.) but no success. I've downloaded some programs (Tor, Privoxy) but they don't do anything. Note: Bookmarklets do not work for this situation.
Soo.. back to the problem. I have SwitchProxy Firefox extention. Any proxy I try and add just never works. It's simple enough, you click Add on the toolbar, then anonymous, then load a list of proxies.

So once I apply the proxies (see the toolbar in screenshot below), I just get 'The connection has times out' or 'Page not found' or 'Server not found'.

I don't think it's something I'm doing wrong (tell me if I'm wrong), I think proxies just don't seem to work for some reason?? Any idea why?

But I'm pretty sure you can't get around rapidshare's system.

If you're on dial-up, modem etc and have a dynamic IP, just disconnect from the Internet and then reconnect to get a new IP. If you can't find a way to do it via software, pull the plug on your modem/router..
At least this is what works for me

another way if you're on a wireless connection, just leech off someone else

quote:You found a free proxy list somewhere on the web. The proxies on these lists generally don't work. They just close but they remain on the list. If you went through the whole list, you might find a working proxy, or you could find another list that has long-standing proxies that you can expect to still be operating.
