A web server (Apache/Nginx) with PHP 5.6 or higher (though many rev43 builds are now PHP 7.x/8.x compatible).

Some ISPs throttle traffic from file-sharing sites. By using a VPS or Dedicated Server with RapidLeech, your ISP only sees a single stream of data from your own server.

Set the files/ folder permissions to 777 so the script can write the downloaded data.

Moving a 10GB file from one host to another via your server takes seconds or minutes, compared to hours on a home connection.
