Many file hosting services like Rapidshare, Megaupload, Media Share, etc., sites will present you with number of Ad screens and ask you to wait to download a file. SkipScreen is a Firefox add-on that skips all these screens and presents you with direct download option. No more waiting and irritating ads screens by using SkipScreen.

It will be very frustrating staring at the screen while the seconds count down before you can download a file. Clicking through multiple ad pages to get the final download link can be really irritating. This is what you will usually see if you want to download files for free from file hosting services like RapidShare, Mega upload, Sharebee, Divshare, zShare and many others.

We may go to another tab thinking of returning back to the site once the countdown has completed. But sometimes we return to the site long after download section has expired so you have to start all over once again. SkipScreen will free you from this normally frustrating situation.

Install this plug-in and let it do all the background work before it presents you with the download option directly.

How does this work?

Install SkipScreen to your Firefox web browser and restart it to start using.

Now click on a RapidShare link or any other link to download the file. Now sit back and relax or work on other tabs.

SkipScreen will continue working in background skipping all unwanted screens.

A window pops up with download option click on save to download file to your computer.

This plug-in will make your life very easy and simple. May be this add-on is a great bypass for us to download files but it is not encouraged by file hosting sites. But SkipScreen is constantly updated to work better and is adding more sites to the list. Currently using this plug-in works on following sites:

• RapidShare
• Megaupload
• Mediafire
• Sharebee
• DepositFiles
• Sendspace
• Divshare
• Linkbucks
• Uploaded.to
• Link-protector and many more

When you use this Plug-ins with other plug-in like AdBlock pages will load faster and you can get the download option quickly. It is a great Firefox add-on to manage download.
