or someone having public enum myBool{ TRUE, FALSE, FILE_NOT_FOUND } (yes people do this!, one example was on thedailywtf.com awhile back) Mine was more of a retorical question... Let make a bool and call it "bSaveData" but only save the data when it is false! I mean why do people do these things :( :mad:

First you cannot believe that message.

Second there are any number of HTTP headers and/or sections they might use to deny your request. Have you sniffed successful downloads using a browser to see what Headers / Sections are present? Unless RapidShare documents an API that is probably the only way you are going to figure it out.

I have seen a Orbit downloader log while downloading a rapidshare file: 2008-05-06 02:17:07 Connecting rs266gc.rapidshare.com:80 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Connected 2008-05-06 02:17:08 POST /files/96986359/1517356/MyPet.rar HTTP/1.1 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Host: rs266gc.rapidshare.com 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Referer: http://rs266.rapidshare.com/files/96986359/MyPet.rar 2008-05-06 02:17:08 User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Content-Length: 66 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Accept: */* 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Pragma: no-cache 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Cache-Control: no-cache 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Connection: close 2008-05-06 02:17:08 HTTP/1.1 200 OK 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Date: Mon, 05 May 2008 20:46:37 GMT 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Connection: close 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Content-Type: application/octet-stream 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Accept-Ranges: bytes 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Content-Disposition: Attachment; filename=MyPet.rar 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Content-Length: 5518769 2008-05-06 02:17:08 Start receiving data How to use this in my C# App?

The lines in the log look like a DateTime stamp followed by HTTP headers. If you use HttpWebRequest you can access/change HTTP header information. The problem you are having is this. You open a WebBrowser control, launch the page and the user enters the catchup info and clicks download. When this finishes you capture the URL of the file once it is suppose to start downloading, that is the Navigating event you captured. You cancel that request (ending the server connection) and then try to launch a web client to download from the now expired URL. I seem to recall sending e.Cancel=true; is the same as pressing the "Stop" button inside IE. What you might try doing, without getting into the HTTP headers is just move the e.Cancel=true; below your web client download (since you never opened the page, it might let you download it)

Yes, Ofcourse it will download, but with the default download manager of IE. I don't want this. I want to download it by the app itself. Problem is that catching the direct link of the file on Rapidshare server, I am not able to download it. I think you get my point and that is here I am stuck.

No, it won't download in IE until the Navigating event exits. I'm asking you to do the following:

    private void rapidWebBrowser\_Navigating(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs e)
    {
        string filename = @"C:\\test.rar";
        Regex pattern = new Regex(@"http://(\[0-9a-zA-Z\]+)\\.rapidshare\\.(com|de)/files/(\[0-9\]+)/(\[0-9\]+)/(\[^\\r\\n\]+)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
        string match = e.Url.AbsoluteUri;
        if (pattern.IsMatch(match))
        {
            WebClient client = new WebClient();
            Uri uri = new Uri(match);
            client.DownloadFileAsync(uri, filename);
            e.Cancel = true;
        }
    }

and if this doesn't work, you can use download and use WireShark[^] and WinPCap to record a successful request from within IE and reverse engineer the "good" request header requirements and you're set. You might also be able to use FireFox with live HTTP headers plugin that allows you to view HTTP data... Yet if not canceling the event until AFTER your file download fixes the problem; none of the header stuff would be required.
