I don't think anyone likes waiting for the download link to pop up after the captcha, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned SkipScreen here.

It does just that; skips the wait screen for most file sharing sites and lets you download the file instantly. iono bout you guys, but I think this is the most awesome add-on you could want here. Works for Firefox.

P.S. Should this be stickyed as a useful topic?

SkipScreen KICKS ASS. I've been using it for RapidShare downloads since it auto reloads and waits for the consecutive timer to countdown so it can grab the next file as soon as it's made available.

For MegaUpload it literally skips the wait time which is amazing. For RapidShare it still has to go through the timer but at least it download DLs as soon as it can so you don't forget about it until the link expires and you've gotta wait again :D. Highly recommended addon.

Yeah, RapidShare makes you wait about 15 minutes between downloading files. Weird.
