How to download files from Rapidshare (with your premium account)

Motivation

I recently bought a DS207.

I've been searching around the forums/wiki for any info on where to place the global wgetrc so I can add my RS credentials to allow DL station software (which actually uses wget for http/ftp downloads).

Tried to put it in /root/.wgetrc (user wget prefs) but didn't work for downloads queued by the DL station web or redirector s/w.

Then tried a lot of places (like /usr/syno/etc, /etc ...) no luck!

Then I applied a simple, yet effective, workaround:

moved the original wget to wg

  DS-207>mv  /usr/syno/bin/wget /usr/syno/bin/wg

created a shell script named wget in the same dir of the original wget with the following code:

  #!/bin/sh
  if echo $@ 2>/dev/null | egrep -e rapidshare.com > /dev/null
  then
     WGETRC=/usr/syno/etc/wgetrc
     export WGETRC
  fi
  /usr/syno/bin/wg $@

made the new `wget' an executable:

  DS-207>chmod 755  /usr/syno/bin/wget

created my `wgetrc' file in /usr/syno/etc/ with the following contents:

  http-user=my_rs_username
  http-passwd=my_rs_pass
  header="Cookie:user=my_rs_cookie_value"

Add a rapidshare download to your Download Manager or Redirector and enjoy.
