RapidLeech was a PHP script designed to act as a proxy. You installed it on a high-speed server. You gave it a link from RapidShare. The server downloaded the file at blistering speeds, and then you downloaded it from the server. More importantly, it allowed "transloading"—moving a file from one host to another without touching your home computer.
RapidLeech was open-source, which meant it was a magnet for developers in the underground scene. The original base script was functional but often lagged behind the security measures implemented by cyberlockers. RapidShare and its competitors were constantly updating their APIs to prevent these very scripts from working. rapidleech plugmod eqbal rev 42 prerelease t2
