Depending on where your downloading from each can be a tad different,
Rapidshare can be difficult for new people to figure out.
Most all links given will lead you to another web page which will hold the file your looking to download,
You just need to locate the download link, which will usually say just that somewhere on the page.
If your looking for a certain rom, Just ask, I'll try to give you a download link and instructions step by step if need be,

If you already know the page address that your having trouble downloading from, Post the link and I will try to help you.

this is true depending on how its looked,
downloading it and deleting after 24 hours is not illegal
downloading it as a backup for games you alreadyhave is not illegal
downloading them if you own a licenced flash cart is illegal in some places but no others
downloading it because you are a cheap person who cant be bothered buying it is not illegal so long as nobody blabs

The 24 hour rule is a net myth , it has no basis in the law.
There is no evaluation period unless specifically allowed by the copyright holder
Distributing copyright material without consent of the copyright holder, regardless of how long the down loader keeps it for is illegal.
Downloading copyright material without the consent of the copyright holder is also illegal. There is simply no getting around it.
The "24 hour rule" is a clear example of why you should never take legal advice from software pirates. There is no such rule; downloading a copy of copyrighted software not intended for distribution is always illegal, no matter how long you have it.

Yes it is illegal,
Even if you own the original game, you are not entitled to download a copy of it. Copyright law clearly states that the only copy of software you are entitled to is the one you make yourself.
Before posting things you don't fully know do a little research first, its easy,
use Google :P
