Rapget is a download manager especially designed for file hosters like rapidshare (all together around 60 different file hoster are supported). Rapget also recognises the code very often has to be entered before the download starts. All one has to do, is to enter the link to the referring page where the file is hosted.
Usually the download speed is very slow, so best thing would be to droop all your links into Rapget and then forget about it for the next few hours. Or let do Rapget all the work during night.

abc.net.au: "Led by Iggy Pop, The Stooges blasted out of Detroit in 1969 with 3 albums of manic rock 'n' roll like 'No Fun', 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' and 'Search & Destroy'. Notorious for their wild live shows, the band would eventually influence the birth of punk in the late 70s and thousands of rock bands ever since, including The White Stripes. The reformed Stooges will be in Australia for the Big Day Out, so we're celebrating at triple j with a one hour retrospective on their music. You'll hear plenty of hits and some classic interviews from the triple j archives." Listen here

razmesinai.com: "Raz Mesinai was born in Jerusalem in 1973. His first two decades were spent in frequent transit between Jerusalem and New York City, where he became immersed in both the worlds of traditional Middle Eastern music, and the dub and hip-hop scenes of the eighties and early nineties in New York City. He became involved in the avant-garde, downtown music scene of New York City, performing, improvising, and leading his own ensembles on percussion, piano and sampler.

Mesinai's electronic and electro-acoustic music exists at the crossroads of composition, sound design and modern studio production. His acclaimed recordings under the moniker Badawi, and as one half of the seminal duo Sub Dub (with John Ward), are difficult to classify, but have been called hybrid electronica/dub/percussion/avant-garde compositions. Since 1999, Mesinai has been releasing music under his own name as well, including three releases on John Zorn's "Tzadik" label"

From Safe, his latest release:
I said oblivion
From older CDs:
Enter the heretic

wnyc.org: "Mercan Dede has taken the electronic groove and beats out of the DJ booth and melded them to traditional instruments like the darbouka, santur, and ney. The result is something like Arabic techno-folk and on this New Sounds, Dede presents tracks from his latest record, “Su.” The name means “Water,” and the CD features collaborations with Indian singer Susheela Raman, TransGlobal Underground sitarist Sheema Mukherjee, Tunisian singer Dhafer Youssef, and many others."

Black Emperor. We’ll also hear from Clogs, the bassoon-driven, viola-employing quartet, and the Icelandic band Sigur Ros.
