Procedure
1. The first thing to do is to download "jDownloader" HERE
This comes as as .zip so you need a program to extract the application itself. Download and install the trial version of winrar.

Now extract jdownloader using winrar (right-click on file -> Extract files) .


2. Create a shortcut on your desktop, as shown below in Image A, so you can find the application easily in the future.

3. When you start it up, pick the language you want as shown in Item 1,image B.

4. Next you will have to select the download directory. This is the directory where the files pointed to by the file sharing links will be saved, as jDownloader fetches them, and also where the contents of these archived files will be extracted to. So just select a directory on a drive with lots of free space, as shown in Item 2, Image B. Then click “Ok", Image B.

5. Next you will be asked if you want to integrate jDownloader with your browser. Just select “Cancel” as shown in Image C.

9. Go to the web page containing the links you want to download, select them all and also select the password, then right-click and select “Copy” (See Image H). Note down any password, as you may need it in a later step, if jDownloader doesn’t automatically recognize it as the password.

10. The Link Grabber in JDownloader automatically picks up the links you copied, inserts them in a package (item 1, Image I) and checks the validity of the links. Valid links will show as “online” in the “Status” Column. (see Image I)

If the links don’t all show as online then don’t waste your time with that set of links, just right click on the link package, select “Delete” and go look for a valid set of links.

11. If the links don’t automatically get added to a package and instead look as in Image J, then just click Item 1 to create the package.

12. Now check that the archive password has been set by double clicking on the package name (Item 1, Image K). A dialog pane will appear at the bottom of the application. Item 2 (Image K), should have automatically received the password you copied in step 9. If the password is wrong or missing then just type it in. If you want to change location of archive download and extraction for this package, from the default location specified in step 4, then click the "Select" button and choose the new location (Item 3, Image K). Close the dialog pane by clicking item 4 (Image K).

13. If you have version 0.5.949 or later, then you can just click the blue "start download" triangle, at the top left of the application (circled in red, Image L), to move the package to the download window and then jump directly to step 14. If you have an earlier version then you must right-click on the link package again and select “Add selected package(s)” (Image L).

14. This will add the link package, and all the links within, to the download queue (Image M). If the links are from Rapidshare.com then before the download starts you must accept their “Terms of Service”, so select items 1 and 2 in Image M. Now select item 3 (Image M) to show the contents of the link package and how the download of each link is progressing.

15. The first link will now have to wait for approx. 2 minutes before download begins. Each subsequent link download will require a 15 minute wait before download can commence. This is limitation of downloading rapidshare links, without paying for a Premium Account. (Image N).
