Authenticating And Downloading from rapidshare with ASP.Net/C#

Question

Hi I am looking for a way to authenticate my premium account from rapidshare and then once authenticated start a download. I have seen this done so many times in other languages but it seems its impossible to do in the one language i know (C#).

I have taken this entire project and converted it to C# so that i could debug it easier but it hasnt helped at all, most because the original project never used authentication and i have no idea how to do that. I should not that i am doing this in ASP.Net.

If someone can just help with the authentication i should be able to get the downloading correct.

Thanks

I don't know how you're doing your downloading or what type of authentication they're using on their end, but you can use the NetworkCredential class with WebClient if it's Basic HTTP (like twitter, for example). Something like the following:

WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);
string data = client.DownloadString(new Uri(some_url));
