I don't know rapidshare but first you will have to pass their login page. So you could generate a POST request with the necessary URL u & p in it.

After you have established that you are allowed access you can generate GET requests for the files you want to download. It seems you need the combined filename and unique rapid file id for each file.

This can all be done with LWP. I think the examples mentioned there resemble what you need?!

I would like to mention that for automated communication with websites you can also use WWW::Mechanize.

Could you post some of your LWP code?
