Do you usually download content from free Internet storage sites such as RapidShare, MegaUpload, or YouSendIt? Are you tired of having to keep an eye on your downloads so that they are not interrupted or suffer inconveniences? You need to know then that there are applications that take care of this kind of task for you, and although there are many good ones, RapGet is undoubtedly one of the ones you should not miss.

Indeed, when we talk about RapGet, the first thing to say is that it is a download manager with integrated support for the free sites mentioned above and many more in the segment. Its developers explain that it has support for more than 60 storage sites on the web, so you will seldom have problems downloading your content.

And from which sites does RapGet allow you to download files? Of course, from RapidShare, MegaUpload, or YouSendIt, others such as SendSpace, TurboUpload, etc. If you are used to working with these Internet sites that allow us to upload various files and then pass the links to someone else to download the contents, a download manager should not be missing on your computer.

If you have tried your luck with jDownloader, the program that we could consider a reference in this field, you should know that the operation of RapGet is not too different since almost everything we run is done in the same way. First, you only have to copy the site link where the file you want to download is located and then go to this application to insert or paste it, which takes a few seconds.

At that precise moment, the file in question will start downloading, and you have the advantage that you can completely ignore the procedure, letting RapGet do it for you without worrying about anything. A benefit of using a download manager like this one is that as it supports the transfer of several files simultaneously, you can leave many pending in case you have to leave home.

In the same way, you should know that RapGet has a lot of configuration options that will allow you to improve your user experience with this platform, some of which we want you to know because they are handy. For example, you can determine how many errors downloading a file the program must support before discarding that content or choosing the maximum bandwidth the application uses.

The latter is vital since RapGet allows you to limit the bandwidth the service uses, so you can reserve part of it to continue surfing the web or performing other tasks. Unlike the downloads we perform manually when all the bandwidth is occupied in these processes, we can eliminate that inconvenience.

In the same way, RapGet offers you to set alerts that tell you when a file that you have left downloading has been completely downloaded. You should also know that you can translate the program into other languages. In this case, it is crucial to consider that you must have a reliable Internet connection since the package with the new language must be downloaded from the web. Otherwise, you will not be able to use it.

Finally, as RapGet does not require any installation, we are again in the presence of a portable program, which means that we will be able to run it on several computers throughout the day quickly and easily. Especially those who have to work with more than one PC throughout their day will find essential allies for their tasks in this application.

How about RapGet's user interface? A bit boring, although we appreciate the icons that are there to facilitate the execution of some of its main tasks.

Focusing on the best of RapGet, we must point out that it is an application that is, above all, easy to use since even novices can learn to copy and insert links into it in just a few minutes. Also very useful is that it allows you to schedule tasks or warn us about completed downloads. And, of course, we would not expect less; it is a service compatible with most web storages, allowing simultaneous downloads, something almost mandatory for these managers.

Regarding the negative points of RapGet, we have found that this application cannot skip the delay times that some storage sites have. This is not too serious a problem, but since other software is capable of doing so, it had to be mentioned.

RapGet is an exciting download manager in that although it doesn't reach the level of jDownloader in its version with installation included, it has nothing to envy to the portable alternative of the king of the segment. So, if you haven't had any luck with jDownloader, you should try it.
