Hmmm
so when you click on any video now it defualts to real player. I would say you need to make vlc media player your default player.
All you have to do is right click on a file, go to open with, then check the last item which should be choose defualt program.
From here you should see a new pop up with options for possible programs that will open the file. Select vlc and them make sure that you check mark in the bottom left....Always use selected program to open this kind of file. That should resolve real player doing anything.
As far as rapidshare goes that is odd. Have you tried going back lately to see if it still does it? Maybe the link has been removed? If you could post the link you are trying to download from that could help
Here's the thread with the link I followed:
