I don't care for RapidShare, myself. Too many limitations unless you spring for the premium account. But I digress...
I NEVER use Internet Explorer to download files from RapidShare. I'm always getting error messages if I try it. So if I want to get a file from the RapidShare site, I make sure I use my Firefox browser. Have never had one problem since.
Hope that helps. And for anyone who wants to upload a file to share, Please, consider these alternatives:
