Rapidshare
Just recently when I try to download a Rapidshare file it comes up with this message
Your IP-address is already downloading a file. You have to wait until it is finished.
Anyone any ideas whats happened and how I can solve it

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.This normally happens when you try to download a second file while you are already downlading one.
If you ARE doing this you have to wait for the first file to finish.
If you are NOT doing this maybe you have a browser window open that WAS downloading a file but it has now finished. If so close the first browser window.
If you are only downloading one file then I am not sure what has gone wrong.
Are you perhaps sharing your internet connection with another person in the house and THEY are also downloading a file ?
If your ISP allows you to use a proxy server for browsing you can try other IP addresses which may not be currently hosting another customer's Rapidshare download but there is no way of knowing if these other servers are also being used for Rapidshare downloads or have surpassed the limit.
