I am also having some problems with vista.

I have just bought a new computer which comes with vista home premium 32 bit version. I have a premium rapidshare account and use download accelerator plus to download files from RS.

Since switching to using vista, I cant download files anymore. When I put the link into DAP it just downloads a 5kb file. I have checked the DAP and RS settings and they match those I use on my XP machine. I have also tried to download the same files through both vista and XP, with the file working normally when using XP but on vista I only get the 5kb file. I guess there must be something about vista which does not like rapidshare. My DAP programme will download other files normally through vista, its just when I try to use rapidshare I have this problem.

Does anyone have any suggestion to sort this out?
Thanks
Jimmyw

Can you try downloading using just your web browser and see if that works? If I remember RS doesn't officially support DAP so I'd recommend switching over to FlashGet (which is much better than DAP anyway, imo).

it could well be the 25gb limit message, or it could be what happens to me sometimes - the cookies aren't transferred into your download manager properly and rapidshare thinks you're not logged in

Make sure you have your download manager setup correctly or like Jason said, try a different one.
