I to was having problems using AOL to download from Rapidshare. The error was using a false IP.
Solution is to go to rapidshare in AOL, there you will find the http? link for the download file. Copy this then open Internet Explorer. Insert this http link into the top space and press return. This should bring you to 'rapidshare' once more. Now scroll under to 'FREE', press this, enter the 'secret code' and the file should download. It does for me every time, no bother.
Hope this works for the frustrated 'rapidshare' users
