wget & rapidshare

Hello people,

I have a question concerning wget and rapidshare. How I can download from Rapidshare (have a premium account) using command-like tool wget. It seems pretty easy, but I always get only very small file (5KB) something like html. Please correct me if I am doing something in a wrong way:
1. I save a cookie by typing the following in Terminal
wget \
--save-cookies ~/.cookies/rapidshare \
--post-data "login=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD" \
-O - \
https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premiumzone.cgi \
> /dev/null
2. I try to download by typing this:
wget -c --load-cookies ~/.cookies/rapidshare hxxp://www.rapidshare.com/files/blablabla.xyz
11:45:21 (273.06 KB/s) - `blablabla.xyz' saved [5224/5224] While original size of the file is let's say 95 MB Smilie

Seems like the main link is redirected further and I get just a shortcut? So, the question is how to obtain original file? Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thanks for support!

There is one more internal redirection at rapidshare, I think, which should prevent direct downloads, I guess you'll have to ask their technical staff whether this is true, and are you able to use "wget", whose syntax seems correct.
