Presenting RapidSucker: Grab rapidshare links under your Unix/Linux (and MAC?)

First things first: The link

I've hacked a rapidshare links downloader / grabber or link collector. The current version is written in Python and runs from the shell console. To start, download it and edit the variables on top of the Python source to tell the program your user and password. You can also use a config file if you feel more confortable that way (take a look at the start of the source.) Once you have told it your rapidshare premium access data just run it (python rapidsharesucker), paste the links on the console, and push enter. It should start downloading the files to the current directory.

Currently it is no more than an ugly hack. In the future I plan to add an option --gui to show a graphical interface so Ubuntu users can also use it. Windows porting would also be nice, but a low priority since there are other tools there. Patches are welcomed, of course.

Tool works perfectly, and is far more easier to use than any other tool I've used so far (windows)

One "feature request": a way to limit the amount of concurrent downloads. This way I can schedule a whole bunch of downloads for a whole night. We have a download limit, but during off hours the amount of Gigs downloaded only count half, so this way I could be downloading for several hours...

Anyway a big thank you for creating this cool script.
