I think that there are some programs that allow you to bypass the bit that recognises your IP on rapidshare if you Google for them.
Failing that, if you have a dynamic IP, then just logging off and back on again will change your IP address.

As well as what Sandra said, clearing your cookies when logging off and on again will also help.

I think you can get what is called a proxy server which means you are accessing websites via a third party and cannot be traced.  Whether or not they charge for the service I don't know.

I think anyone using cable broadband uses a proxy server Clive, I don't think it gives any degree of invisibility  :dunno:

Apparently Anonymizer is the answer according to a quick Google search.

Besides, if you could hide your IP completely, most websites, including RapidShare, wouldn't work anyway.
