RapidShare No Limit DLer?

It counts the amount of times that people have downloaded that file. Unless you can change their internal clock... :/

What does that have to do with how long you waited? It's been downloaded 10 times, therefore you didn't wait the full 30 seconds? A site can very well log file times, but they don't. Firstly, because undownloaded files would whore up their log space. "At [time], [user] can download [file]." If [user] never downloads [file], that permission will be stored there for quite a while. For such large sites, that's not a good thing. It's complicated to calculate how long to store that data. You can't erase the permission too soon, because you don't know when they're going to click it - they may have left the window open until the timer went away and did something else, only to find they can't download the file when they return. You can't erase it too late, because the longer you wait, the more of these permissions that get built up, the slower the site loads.
The best option, and what they do, is to not log permissions at all. Just redirect to the file when the timer runs out. How do I know this? As I said before, I've bypassed the timers on *every* famous free host by doing nothing buy using just JavaScript to decrease the timer prematurely to 0.
So, @Minora, I win. GTFO. That code was off the top of my head.

You know what's funny is rapidshare does exactly that. Leave for a while once the timer finishes and you have to restart the timer.
