Extract the ZIP and upload the contents to a folder (e.g., /leech or /transfer) inside your public HTML directory.

Edit php.ini or use a custom .user.ini:

max_execution_time = 0
max_input_time = -1
memory_limit = 256M
post_max_size = 0
upload_max_filesize = 0
allow_url_fopen = On

Set the following directories to 777 or 755 depending on your server setup:

Apache’s memory footprint per process can kill your VPS when handling multiple leech jobs. Nginx with PHP-FPM is far superior.

  • Upload split – Works again on 32-bit systems (>2GB files).
  • Fixed ZIP packing – No more corrupt archives on large sets.
  • Removed dead hosts – Uploaded, Filefactory (broken APIs).

    • Navigate to configs/config.php and edit the following:

    $options['max_file_size'] = '0';  // 0 = unlimited
$options['upload_html'] = true;
$options['download_dir'] = 'files/';
$options['temp_dir'] = 'tmp/';
$options['admin_login'] = 'change_this';
$options['admin_pass'] = 'change_this';

    For MySQL support, edit configs/mysql.php.

    If you find a server running RapidLeecher v2 rev43 today, do not put it on a live production server without heavy modification.

    1. Remote File Inclusion (RFI) Rev43 was written before modern PHP standards. Many of its functions still use include($_GET['page']) with weak sanitization. A malicious user can often execute arbitrary code by manipulating the URL.

    2. Shell Upload Vulnerabilities The upload script in rev43 trusts the file extension provided by the browser. A user could rename a .php backdoor to image.jpg with a PHP header, upload it via the leech feature, and gain instant access to your server.

    3. Exposed Configuration By default, rev43 stores sensitive data (FTP passwords, premium host logins) in flat .php files inside the /includes/ folder. If your server misconfigures PHP parsing, a visitor can view these as plain text.
