One-Click-Hosting is one of the current trends you will most likely come across if you often want to download something on the internet. It has several pro's, as it doesn't require the downloader, nor the uploader to register anywhere, it is free and it works pretty easy.
The con's are often, that files have to be splitted because of size limits, captchas and download-limits.
The most used of those services is rapidshare i assume, which has all of the beforementioned con's.
The downloadlimit can easily be circumevented by reconnecting to the internet, if you have an dynamic ip-address, which is pretty common where i live. This still takes some time and i don't like to do this, because there are sometimes connections you just don't want to drop.
You could let all this stuff handle your computer, if there wasn't the problem with the captchas to be filled in.
There are different solutions which are able to fill out the captchas and download your files for you, one
of these is called cryptload, it's huge and filled with binaries and only made for windows. The last time
i checked it also required routercontrol to reconnect, but since i like my linux more that software is out of question.
I am not a big friend of java, but the fact, that the programm called jDownloader is written in it, makes it perfectly usable on my ubuntu linux.
It still has lots of bugs, but i got it running and it works pretty fine and fast, fills out the captchas, downloads the files and searches your clipboard for usable urls.
It supports several hosters through plugins, has an awesome amount of configuration options and is available for free there:
