Oh, right...never mind. Either way, with all RS downloads, every file is the same size except the last one which is usually smaller. If you've got one in the middle that's a different size, it's a bad download. Delete it and try again.

OK, I've deleted part 38 now.

However, I cannot re-download part 38 or download part 39 because RS is still insisting that my IP address is downloading a file at the moment. Could it be a temporary glitch on the Rapidshare site or does it have to do with my computer in particular?

Has this happened to anyone before?

I had a similar problem. It was telling me to "wait 100 minutes" for something like eight hours, then it finally said "wait 1 minute" and let me finish.

The signing off thing would only help if you have a dynamic IP address, I think that's what he's getting at. If your IP changes, the site might be "fooled" and think you're a new person, bypassing the glitch that thinks you're still downloading and need to wait your turn.

The best solution is to take a flash drive to a public computing lab and skip the waiting/one-file-at-a-time BS of RS. Or you could send them money, but that kind seems like a waste for just one fan edit.

RS just decides to be stupid for awhile and eventually fixes itself.
