RapidShare Link Checker (Article)

[Lord Anubis]

I dunno how useful this is to others, but it sure makes checking links alot quicker for my site. 

Here is a RapidShare Link Checker that you can use in an Custom Action, Article, or Center Block.

RapidShare.com Link Checker is a tool to check and verify the validity, availability and existence of files hosted and shared on RapidShare.com 1-click web hosting service. The utility is useful when you have a list of RapidShare-URLs or download links, where all files must still available for download to be useful. Using RapidShare.com Link Checker, all download links will be checked to see if the link still working and all files exist on RapidShare servers.

If the file does not exist, the link will be shown in red. If the file exists but the server is down, the file will be shown in yellow. If the file is available for download, the link will be shown in green.
