Problem with Rapidshare

This problem is really annoying, and it happens all the time. I tried googling for solution but I just can't find any.
First is the conflicting IP address. This can be solved by refreshing the page over and over until you get the download ticket. The main problem is what happens after that. They prompt you for the 3 digit code and server. After you click 'Download', they will tell you this error message:
This is not a direct link by the way, I can access the password protected folder and the file is listed as 'Okay'.
I've tried IE, Opera, Firefox as well as clearing cookies and cache, but nothing seems to work
Note: In IE, the .zip.html page is automatically downloaded as zip, so I can't open the page.

Download-session invalid. Please click here.
Possible reasons:
* Download-session expired. Direct-links last a few minutes for free users and a few days for premium-users.
* You requested this download-session from a different IP than yours. If you use AOL, try a different browser.

Sorry to laugh, but.... 
Refreshing to get the ticket is the problem. It messes up the servers to think you can get your download. Just wait after downloading. I tried proxies but it wouldn't work.
