[META] Megadownloader and megatools are no longer able to bypass "bandwidth limit exceeded" error?! | Megalinks MegaDB [META] Megadownloader and megatools are no longer able to bypass "bandwidth limit exceeded" error?!

Hey, I was just downloading some files from mega and I noticed that megadownloader shows error after downloading 5GB.

2017-06-03T13:56:10:133 [ID#28] >>> Connection error when downloading file avr-G0T.S05E08.Hardhome.1080p.bluray.HEVC.AAC.5.1.x265.mkv - System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (509) Bandwidth Limit Exceeded.
   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
               at MegaDownloader.FileDownloader.ChunkDownloader_DoWork(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)

Also while trying to download files with megatools I get error 509 which is basically the same.

Do any of you have this issue as well or is it just me?

~~EDIT: I get the same error with jdownloader as well, although it never really worked for me~~

~~EDIT 2: So far, the only way to download from mega is with using VPN and switching your IP every 5GB's~~

EDIT 3:

What we know so far: | Megalinks MegaDB What we know so far:

Mega patched the bypass for bandwidth limit which megadownloader and many other downloaders were using so we are no longer to able to download large files (5gb+) without changing IP address.

Programs confirmed not working: Megadownloader, megatools, jdownloader, mipony.

Currently only ways to download files that exceed 5GB in size are:

1.Using VPN and megadownloader. Once you get the error stop your downloads, exit megadownloader, turn on VPN and switch to a different location, open megadownloader again and resume. Downloads should continue fine. download speed I'm getting with free VPN(it is throttled by a lot, but at least it works)

2.Using VPN and megasync. Import files to your account and start downloading with megasync. When the 5gb limit is met use your VPN to switch location. Download should resume in a couple of seconds. (credit: /u/WrenchMonkey319)

3.If you have a dynamic IP, you can reset your router or use Reset-TCPIP.exe (credit: /u/Vitus1992)


I will continue to update this post as new info comes along. Our only solutions so far are that someone hopefully finds another bypass(highly doubtful), or migrating to a different host.

I'm now able to "bypass" the 5gb limit by just getting a new local ip + rebooting my laptop... Weird, I know, but I figured out this was possible when the 5gb limit wasn't network wide.

Edit: I created a batch script on Windows, containing these lines. This is how I get around the current limit. Be sure to run this as an administrator.

@echo off
ipconfig /release >nul
ipconfig /renew >nul
netsh int ip delete arpcache >nul
netsh int ip reset >nul
netsh winsock reset >nul

for /F "skip=3 tokens=1,2,3* delims= " %%G in ('netsh interface show interface') DO (
    IF "%%H"=="Connected" netsh interface set interface "%%J" disabled
) >nul

for /F "skip=3 tokens=1,2,3* delims= " %%G in ('netsh interface show interface') DO (
    IF "%%H"=="Disconnected" netsh interface set interface "%%J" enabled
) >nul

All of my downloading is automated on another computer, so it would be great if I could get jdownloader or megadownloader to run this batch file when the download stops...

Edit 2: Almost 300gb downloaded with this method so far. Why the downvotes? I know someone smarter than me can create a cross-platform solution, and remove the need for rebooting.

Edit 3: Works without rebooting as of now!

[-] Treshnell | 3 points | Jun 04 2017 15:55:51

Yeah, you'd have to use a vpn and then use that to change up your ip

permalink

[-] dxrth | 2 points | Jun 04 2017 18:46:48

This doesn't effect or rely on your external IP, so I see no reason why it matters. Maybe there's more settings that need to be reset in your use case, I'm not sure. But, if you meant static LOCAL ip, then yeah, that is an issue! Make sure your local ip is dynamic.

permalink

[-] TimeLord-007 | 3 points | Jun 04 2017 08:51:37

I think jdownloader can run custom scripts. Try going to the reconnect settings. I don't know how it will handle the restart though. You might need to make another script which opens jdownloader and resumes the download upon startup.

Edit: Just confirmed that jdownloader can run windows batch scripts, still, you might need to have a new startup script to start jdownloader.

permalink

[-] dxrth | 2 points | Jun 04 2017 08:54:57

Ah! True. Also, I may be able to remove the whole reboot step. There was a time when I was testing this that the download started again, before the reboot had a chance to start... I'll keep my original comment updated if I find a fix.

permalink

[-] TimeLord-007 | 1 points | Jun 04 2017 18:14:24

Then it'll be fine I think. Just found out that I have a forced static IP by my ISP. Hopefully you can work through it!

As of 2nd July 2018, this method doesn't work for me. My network card kind of "reboots" but always gets the same DHCP IP from the router. TBH, this did feel like too good to be true considering it said that I will need no kind of reboot, BUT this is the first I am downloading through MEGA.NZ and I have already downloaded a 6.3 GB file from MEGA and needed to download another file of 6.5GB and Jdownloader2 threw the error which brought me here.

I've officially finished my MegaDownloader bypass for Windows.

No reboot required, of your computer, router or modem.

If you would like to test it out, here's the github.

So far, I've tested on about 4 machines, if this doesn't work for you let me know!

Edit: This ONLY works because of a bug on MEGAs side when using Megadownloader.

Is it possible to automate this with the JDownloader Reconnect feature?

permalink

[-] dxrth | 3 points | Jun 22 2017 16:36:42

I haven't tried yet, but I don't see why not!

What I would do:

  • Run JDownloader as an admin, so it can elevate the .bat file correctly.
  • Reconnect Method: External Tool, and then select the .bat file.

JDownloader might say it fails when testing, but if you see your network adapter disable and re-enable you should be good.

It works for me but i have to turn off my modem/router manually. What i did to get it to work was, run the Bat file as Administer, then logged out fully of Megadownloader, then i turned my modem/router off and back on. Redid the bat file as Administer and finally reloaded Megadownloader as Administer. Works every time i do that. Its a pain, but at least i dont have to wait every 6 to 8 hours. P I am on Windows 10 64, ethernet/WiFi.

You can look at the batch file to see if there's anything you do not trust. But no, all this does is reset your network on your computer. Nothing is effected outside of it. It's a glorified hard reboot.

You can open the file with notepad and see what it does, if you're not trusting of it. A batch file is just a list of commands pretty much. But to the point, what this does is reset your network device on your computer only. It's a glorified reboot, without rebooting. Somehow this resets your limit with MEGA.

Otherwise back onto the topic in general, when I intermittently use Mega-related links such as in the past few days with the discussed Mega-changes, it's a blend of paid VPN with IP-switching/megatools (see /r/megalinks side bar) and paid premium multi-hosters that support single/multi-part direct mega links (i.e. not encrypted/multi-directory folders, most have daily-total bandwidth limitations to popular non-mega hosts such as uploaded/rapidgator but are generally unlimited to Mega itself).

Be weary of the premium links generators / cbox-related, these worked the same as Megadownloader, by clearing the appid/session id to be able to bypass the traffic limit. I doubt any of them paid for the traffic since this trick was for free. Paying them would mean getting ripped of.

If we're discussing alternative hosts then maybe we should look at the idea of decentralizing it all, otherwise we'll run into this again at some stage in the future.

The best example I can think of is what fitgirl does with her (or his, who knows!) game repacks. She splits the files into multiple rars and then uploads to multiple hosts using multiupload (https://www.multiup.eu/). All the files are compatible with each other, so if one gets taken down there'll almost always be a second or third replacement available and it solves some of the bandwidth/storage limits by distributing among multiple hosts. The only downside is that some of the hosts are a little shitty in terms of ads or slower speeds, but again you can ignore those hosts in favor of others. I've used this system to download several of her repacks and its worked pretty well, particularly for big files.

Any thoughts on this?

For some crazy reason, the free account transfer cap was enforced by the mega browser plugin. The thirdparty downloader tools didn't cap you and the mega server just assumed the plugin would handle it. It looks like they've finally changed the server end to enforce the transfer caps.

Are we sure the MEGA server behavior is based solely on IP address?

Speaking as a developer, it is usually not a very good idea to design server rules solely around IP address alone because it is quite common for a single IP address to represent whole groups of people (think companies, etc.) and not a single individual. Limiting by IP address alone is thus usually not effective/proper and what we normally do is use something like IP address in combination with, e.g. User-Agent or other HTTP headers that more uniquely identify a person.

So, have we tried rotating User-Agent header? other HTTP headers? to see if that gets around the block?

permalink

[-] Uniquestusername | 4 points | Jun 05 2017 05:05:54

In my hostel all of us share a single high bandwidth connection and therefore an IP address. Mega was unusable without megadownloader since about 300 of us have a limit of 5gb a day.

If they were looking at anything other then IP they would know it was independent users sharing a connection no?

permalink

[-] slowmotionrunner | 2 points | Jun 05 2017 06:05:40

Let me be clear that I'm speculating here... I don't have any proof of this, but here's how I see it:

This situation in your hostel is very, very common. In places all over the world, there are many instances where multiple people have the same IP address because they all share the same network: hostels, hotels, companies, apartment buildings, dorms, coffee shops, homes, etc. It would be very, very bad programming (and business) IMO for MEGA to build logic based solely on IP address alone because it would potentially block millions and millions of users who share an IP address. For example, you use up the 5 GB limit and now nobody else in the hostel can use MEGA? That doesn't make sense.

So, what is typically done is that they identify an user, not solely on IP address, but on IP address and something else. It's that something else that I'm interested in. If we can identify what that is, we might be able to randomly generate it, rotate it around, spoof it, etc. so that a single IP address and multiple something elses can look like multiple users and thus get around the 5 GB limit.

In fact, you can help me prove this theory. If you and your buddies at the hostel can collectively download more than 5 GB it means that MEGA isn't identifying users by IP address alone because you all share the same IP address. For example, you download 5 GB, your next friend 5 GB more, and 5 GB after that for a total of 15 GB -- that would mean that a single IP address can download more that 5 GB.

permalink

[-] Uniquestusername | 3 points | Jun 05 2017 06:20:42

Sorry I wasn't clear in my first post. I meant 300 of us have a limit of 5gb a day as in all of us, collectively, can only download 5gb a day. If I download 2gb and my friend downloads 3gb, that's it. The whole hostel gets the bandwidth exceeded message with an 8 hour timer or something.

One thing to note though, is that when I used the mega app, I could get around the limit. This is useless for big files though, as my phone's file format system can't handle downloads bigger than 4gb. So if I download a 6gb file, it consumes 6gigs of data, but after it crosses 3.99gb, I think it starts overwriting the already downloaded parts. This is based on the fact that at the end of the download the file has a size of 3.99gb and seems to be corrupted.

This is from a couple of months ago though so maybe they've patched it now.

Anyway, I hope this proves they're only using IP.

[-] LMX7 | 2 points | Jun 05 2017 13:45:35

One external/global IP address assigned to the primary router, after that they get internal/local IP's. That's normal for a dorm... no ISP provides 300 global IP for just one plan, be it the best and most expensive. At most I had a plan with 32 global IP's from my ISP, but each devices had to go through the same switch for the ISP to get unique MACs and return unique global IP's, not the most ideal unless a very expensive switch was used capable of handling the traffic.

[-] Uniquestusername | 1 points | Jun 05 2017 06:38:57

We're all on a common server. We take lan cables from the server to routers in our rooms. It's faster than the hostel wide wifi.

I can't check cause I'm not at the hostel (summer break). It did say your IP has exceeded the bandwidth though and I can't think why else all of us would get locked out like that.

Maybe they check the IP of the first device which in this case would be our server? In a home I guess that would be the router.

permalink

[-] LMX7 | 2 points | Jun 05 2017 13:40:18

Yeah, it's just the IP address... and if you're talking about companies, then they can pay for it and throw that under costs of operation.

The big issue was with that dickhead who screwed them out of money, see the torrentfreak articles about it. And add to it that many were pissed on rapidgator for limiting premium users, and then there was the uploaded mass premium accounts wipeout. A lot of people flogged to MEGA after that.

hi everyone, thought id make an account and give some good news. I was downloading a large 45gig file an hour ago and it was split in 4.9gig pieces. I normally have 3 files downloading at once, so it started doing that. what surprised me though, was the fact it didn't stop after it downloaded more than 5 gigs. in fact it finished one and didn't start another part, but continued downloading the other 2 files. I managed to download 15gigs on one sitting. I hope they don't patch this either. so the workaround is as follows, in settings indicate a larger number of parallel downloads, maybe 3 or 5. I have yet to try another batch of files, but I will update the thread if I succeed.

permalink

[-] Theeye12 | 6 points | Jun 05 2017 04:16:17

This seems to work. Make sure your file is under 5 gigs each, add them all in one batch, match the amount of files with the number of parallel downloads in your settings if you want to finish in one shot and go for it.

permalink

[-] indominusspecks | 3 points | Jun 18 2017 13:38:21

This only works for the first package of files you download. If you download a second package the same problem will occur. Ex: I downloaded Black Ops 2 (20 or so gigs) with like 5 parts with 5 parallel downloads. But, when I went to download a second game, the download speed stalled and I had to use my vpn again.

So make sure you shove all the files you want to download into one package and then download with # of parallel downloads = # of files.

permalink

[-] Theeye12 | 1 points | Jun 18 2017 14:49:59

Yes you are correct about how it only works with your first batch of files, i should have been more clear. Putting it all in one package is the best way to do it. Ive had some instances where ive downloaded 4 gigs, then a larger file (about 25 gigs) after in parallel and it downloaded completely, though sometimes, one of those parts i downloaded didnt complete. Meaning that you dont necessarily have to start from scratch, you can maximize how much you download by insuring that at least one of the files in your batch doesnt take you over your 5 gig limit. The rest will download regularly.

One of my favorite things about MEGA (and the previous incarnation Megaupload) is that it had a very high retention rate. You could find a MEGA link 2 or 3 years old and the files could still be online. With most other filelockers you're lucky thier links are still online after 6 months :(

The best alternatives to MEGA right now are either google drive or amazon cloud. But those services are also some of the most susceptible to DCMA takedown requests.

And both can easily do content matching since the files aren't encrypted.

[-] Elibroftw | 1 points | Jun 22 2017 22:35:12

Okay so what if someone were to attatch a small animation to the lets say movie they uploaded to gdrive. Would that be able to match? Or what if people split up the movies into parts or even .rar/.zip. My biggest point is why not compress the movie into several different .rar's and then the user just has to extract the first part. Good idea??

Some of these delete files after a specific amount of time (lewd.se deletes files after 90 days). You should also mention that in your post. Also, another one is nya.is, max 3 GB, stored for an unlimited time.

[-] Pissymon | 10 points | Jun 03 2017 18:27:02

This most likely happened because of the guy yesterday who made a script to make hundreds of mega accounts at once. Now they are locking down their shit.

[-] douhaveanygreypoupon | 18 points | Jun 03 2017 19:28:58

Not really, mega were already in the process of restricting their services. first it was the storage quota and now it's the bandwidth. They want to push you towards a paid account, a downloader would've had no use for a paid account while 3rd party tools could bypass their limits.

If they were truly interested in locking down their registration they could easily implement IP checks, captchas or even SMS verification to really fuck people over.

If you don't you mind me asking, how do you split a single download into multiple parts on megadownloader?

permalink

[-] douhaveanygreypoupon | 10 points | Jun 03 2017 21:00:47

pCloud is misleading. You're given 10GB initially, the remaining 10GB is unlocked by inviting other people and having them upload. To unlock the full 20GB you need to invite 10 other people (you're awarded 1GB extra per person).

The shared links also only have 50GB of bandwidth per month; for a sub that is nearing 1,000+ concurrent users it's not really feasible.

He probably means that due to IPv4 address exhaustion, each ISP gets a limited amount of IP's of v4... meaning clients of those ISP's, will most likely get 1 to 3 static IP's or a different dynamic IP if available. The thing about dynamic IP's on smaller ISP's is that they tend to resurface after a few rotations. Now back to IPv6, it doesn't suffer from address exhaustion, so ISP's can give each client a fairly large number of various global IP's. Since MEGA limits traffic per IP, it would be a lot easier to get a fresh IP on every request. Bottom side, MEGA sees that and might do a block restriction (since the idea is not for people to get restricted but for them to cough up the fukkin 5 euro per month for the plethora of data everyone leeches), in which case, neither ForceBlade nor devendo don't get networking, either. So you lost nothing...

permalink

[-] loudambiance | 1 points | Jun 27 2017 00:31:58

Or, my ISP assigns me a range of IPv6 (fairly large range), that I setup in my router. My router then assigns IPs in that range. So, I can self rotate inside that range all I want, and have thousands of IPs to switch between.

Doubt it. The cap is enforced by the server now. It used to be only enforced by the mega plugin and the third party tools didn't bother with it at all. You need to repeatedly change your IP to get a new 5GB allocation or buy a mega account.

There's an app called google opinion rewards that allows you to earn google play credit by taking surveys.

Hope this helps!

Yeah try adding free mega account (use temp mail to register on mega) to your JD2. If it still doesn't work import the files to your mega folder and copy that link and try it with JD2 then.

permalink

[-] LMX7 | 3 points | Jun 05 2017 13:52:10

You needed Megadownloader for the appid refresh (aka to download unlimited). Now you need to keep your appid to download from your traffic. Use JD2 instead, since Megadownloader just became obsolete, come back if things revert. On a side note, if everyone in need of MEGA coughed up the 5$/€, in a few months they would get enough money to be safe for a while.

In the settings, there is username & password field but they are not activated (they were not needed).

If the dev is still working on it, the new version should activate it.

The other alternative is JDownloader. You can add your Mega account details under 'Accounts'

Alright so I tried using the first solution in OP and it works well.

I used a FREE vpn called Betternet which claims to have no bandwidth limit.

https://www.betternet.co/

I went into incognito mode on chrome and copied my mega link into megadownloader. I then clicked "Connect" on the Betternet desktop app. Afterwards I added the links and started the download. The bandwidth is throttled but I'm still getting a decent download speed. I'm getting around 4-7 MB/s whereas I usually get 17/18 MB/s. And this is with 2/3 parallel downloads. Also whenever the download speed drops to 0.00 B/s or megadownloader appears to stall or there's an error in one of the downloads, I disconnect from Betternet then reconnect and it resumes downloading. Whenever you do this it changes your IP.

I tried this method on 3 separate 10 gig downloads and it worked consistently. Although it's definitely not as fast as before, it still works very well.

When i'm on mega website, I can't restart the download without refreshing the page (which causes the download to start over) And with the mega downloader app, it doesn't even start. Why did you say that you go into incognito mode on chrome, and then you talk about megadownloader ? It's not related to the browser, is it ? It works half way for me, but now I need help to figure out how you set it up so that you can continue the download after disconnecting/reconnecting the VPN, without starting all over again.

Halp, plz ! :)

permalink

[-] indominusspecks | 2 points | Jun 18 2017 13:33:55

Ok so sometimes I've found that even after disconnecting reconnecting the vpn, the download speed will still stall. So, I first pause the current download and exit megadownloader. I then disconnect the vpn. After that I reconnect the vpn and open up megadownloader again. It should work, but if it doesn't just play around with disconnecting vpn and pause/exiting megadownloader.

Also I've been using the desktop version of the app (not sure if you have been too) and my downloads usually start after mega verifies the files. I haven't had any problems with that.

I mentioned the incognito thing because I made a mega account (too lazy to sign out) and didn't know if it would affect how much I could download after the bandwidth limit.

Note: I forgot to mention in my original post that whenever you get an ERROR in your files you have to right-click and reset the download so you can start it over.

Another Note: I've noticed that if you are about to start your first download of the day (if you have a package of say like 6 files of a tv show greater than 10 gigs) if you set the number of parallel downloads to 6 (number of files you're downloading), mega will ignore the download limit and download all 10 gigs of the package. However this only works for the first package you download, but the download speed is much, much faster. After that it's back the vpn.

[-] figpetus | 1 points | Jun 03 2017 23:03:18

You may be able to automatically get your internet provider to issue you a new ip address which will allow you to download again. It depends on the type of router and firmware you have and whether or not your provider gave you a dynamic ip address (which they most likely have, usually you have to request and possibly pay more for a static ip).

permalink

[-] TimeLord-007 | 1 points | Jun 03 2017 23:19:07

So I have comcast, and their router. I tried ipconfig /renew but that doesn't change my global ip. JDownloader doesn't have a script either, and the webinterface doesn't help. Could you tell me more about Reset-TCPIP.exe?

[-] figpetus | 1 points | Jun 03 2017 23:39:44

I'm not up to date on that, but you can try the UPNP method and see if it locates your router. It might work, I just tested it and it worked for me.

Comcast gives out static IPs for most residential customers so I don't think this method would work. Get a portable hotspot from T-Mobile, it's dynamic and the download speeds are better than my Comcast line.

So, people are talking about changing the filehoster, which would be such a shame since this sub already made it to 40k subs by the power of mega, but the stated alternatives are hosters I personally never heard of, and neither have many people here. If we moved to one of those unknown and, for some people, "weird" hosters because they might be more complicated and what not, this sub would loose the majority of its readers. Maybe some uploaders, too. Also storage caps would prevent bigger files which is just shit. Finally, the point I wanted to make this whole time: what about Zippyshare? It´s free and has neither a storage, nor a download cap, which is so perfect for our needs. Correct me if i´m wrong or missed something about this hoster, but when I used it, it worked great. What do you say?

It is much easier than doing a restart/renewing your IP every 5gb.

Once you start downloading, simply close UltraSurf and the speed will come back up. UltraSurf 16.03 https://mega.nz/#!VaoSibjJ!3IQqvzPfhRc7ZvvdvpeXTlFbzzsHOhaPNn06RanIHhg

Just tried it in Koplayer android emulator, there is a download cap however it seems to be significantly larger, around 3.3 GB.

EDIT - Using a desktop VPN I was able to download most of the remaining file, the app appeared to glitch and wouldn't show how much it has downloaded in the notification bar but in the application a progress bar did show. It did stop downloading however a few force stops of the app and re connections of the VPN and the remainder of the file finished downloading

Good find... I've used up the desktop 5gb traffic, then proceeded to download on the phone and it went on without a problem. The desktop traffic however increased, it's possible there's a limit here as well. I'll investigate further. Update: unfortunately it's not a working solution. It does however bypass the 5GB / 6h limit we have on desktop, up to 15GB after which the app crashes. Update 2: aaaaaand not anymore. At 5GB the app crashes...

How to use the Opera VPN method: With Opera browser enable OperaVPN in the settings page. Once quota is reached DO NOT switch to a different country. Disable the VPN from the settings page and then re-enable from the settings page.

Switching the VPN on and off or switching to a different country does not bypass the quota. Go to settings.

It's all based on appid, I didn't go into detail, but I'll check tomorrow to see if the counter upps on the first 15GB. Otherwise, just logging on with a free account, and using those 15GB should make it alright, then switching back to premium. Update: yeah, downloaded 18GB so far, counter upped by 13. 5GB free every 6 hours, or so. In 6 hours it'll probably do that again.

Connection Manager and add the servers supported here:

Socks5 must be checked.

Get the name on NordVPN's page and add it as a host on JD2. Port is 1080, than add your username and password. Maybe a lot of those servers would not download because probably someone took the same idea, but, for example, for the 292 US servers, all of them have SOCKS5 support, so you might be able at some point.

Megadownloader can't stream the file to IDM.

Megadownloader's purpose was to bypass the limit... overall it was an unfinished app, abandoned, which gives off a lot of errors. Sometimes it would finish a download but it would have been corrupted. JD2 is a way better app than MD and IDM for downloading from Mega.

http://www.vpngate.net/en/ Download it, it's free, use a vpn to continue when the limit appears, you'll lose speed, but if you deactivate the vpn without pausing the download it'll continue with your connection, when the limit appears again, do the same.

Tallow diverts all traffic through TOR, so you'll have a new IP and fool MEGA's download cap. But since it's basically layered proxies, it'll be much slower.

[-] Someonethatisnthim | 1 points | Jun 03 2017 19:25:53

You can do it either way. For me it was after since I didn't know about the whole limitation few hours ago.

Also a thing you can do: If your PC is always on like mine, just go to options > configuration > general and under connection check "in case of error, retry the download each x minutes" in mega downloader. That way the program will continue to retry the download until 8 hours are passed and then it will simply continue. :)

CyberGhost apparently doesn't have any quota, but you have to wait in a queue and the software has a limitation of 3 hours per connection (you can reconnect, but you have to wait another time in queue and so on...).

Edit: oh, and about Windscribe: if you use the option "Claim Voucher" and enter the code 50GBFREE you will get 50 gb free per month.

That's strange. Do you share your internet​ with anyone else? Limit is 5gb's (sometimes even a bit more if you are using megadownloader)

You might wanna check if someone that you don't know is using your IP. If that's the case it can lead up to much more trouble than simply being forced to wait in order to download stuff from mega.

permalink

[-] GlitchBob452 | 1 points | Jun 06 2017 22:12:36

Nope, just me. Though I think I figured out the cause. I had tossed the link into MegaDownloader, because I didn't want any browser issues (sometimes Chrome or Firefox can run out of memory, generally FF). But behind the timer window, the download had just resumed once the last few seconds counted down. MD and Chrome were both downloading the same file... so that caused it all to fuck up.

[-] KHymatim | 1 points | Jun 06 2017 23:15:53

If you want to use a VPN without giving them a credit card then use PIA and use the pay by gift card option. You give the site the pin codes/id of the card and they will make an account for you with an amount of days of usage the site thinks is appropriate for what you traded them. The site has a list of gift cards they accept like Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. When I first started out using PIA I gave them a $25 Walmart gift card and got 135-ish days and for some reason when I gave them $20 Walmart gift card I got 78 days so it varies. PIA has a non-rooted android app that works very easily and smoothly. Another positive thing is that with a VPN you get the chance to torrent which allows an even easier method for you to find something when this sub can't provide it, just read up on it if you don't know what you are doing to avoid trouble.

I've used PIA before (i have time left on my account too) but stopped using them because i don't like their privacy policy nor their money-back guarantee, their client is also slow to connect and if i recall correctly i had issues with latency with their client and much lower transfer speeds. You should try both services yourself though to see which one is faster for you.

Also, did you check the link?

Here is another:

https://thatoneprivacysite.net

What i like about Mullvad is their generous offerings with their money-back guarantee (30 days no questions asked), they are stationary across the EU and US and you have various payment options available to you too. I've not had a chance to try out their support yet, but my speeds are on point, loadtimes are fast and it's a nordic VPN provider with a swedish privacy policy with supposedly no NSA, so i am happy.

/u/zoemu , /u/SpiinDeX is correct that Opera VPN (any free VPN service for that matter), is suspect to similar terms. Opera's Free VPN is handled by another 3rd party and you're pretty much going down an uncontrollable spiral of intrusive privacy policies & terms of usage on top of more and more partnering platforms; it simply gets worse.

Whether that's important to you or others, is certainly your choice but better to inform/PSA others in case it indeed is of an important matter to some - beyond standard written boiler plate conditions, this becomes more concerning/revealing as you actually start visiting and reading through their individual (lengthy/legalese) privacy policy/terms of usage web pages. | Megalinks MegaDB Whether that's important to you or others, is certainly your choice but better to inform/PSA others in case it indeed is of an important matter to some - beyond standard written boiler plate conditions, this becomes more concerning/revealing as you actually start visiting and reading through their individual (lengthy/legalese) privacy policy/terms of usage web pages.

I discovered Megadownloader after it was already nerfed, but I still find it more useful than the standard Megadownload webpage because I can define a target drive and download speed, both of which are very important.

BUT. | Megalinks MegaDB BUT. What the app doesn't do is resume interrupted downloads, which is obviously a problem now that Megadownload is going to cut downloads off every couple of GB.

I need an alternative. Something that works like Megadownloader, including the two important features I cited above, but also is able to resume downloads like an app from the mid-90s.

[-] InsertNameOverHere | 1 points | Jul 17 2017 20:46:02

Megadownloader can resume downloads also, I believe there is an option where you can set the downloader to retry interrupted downloads every [random increment of time].

Just posting here so everyone can benifit.

What is currently working for me is when I hit the limit, I close my downloader (megasync) and start my VPN (Windscribe). After it connects, I start Megasync and it starts downloading. After a minute or so, I turn off the VPN and the downloading continues without issues. It does drop for a few seconds but then starts again.

[-] LMX7 | 6 points | Jun 05 2017 13:34:54

Not really since what you download is encrypted... they can only track the encrypted bit count, not the contents, plus most illegal contents get DMCA'd rather than being used as a honey pot. Once the links are marked for deletion, they can't be traced back to any user who uploaded or downloaded. That's the whole point of the MEGA system. Like I said, what's visible from the outside is only the quantity and that's what you pay for. As a side note, you get 1TB+15GB/day... that rounds up to 1.45 TB.

Don't worry .You can't pass the limit.You have to wait 7 or 8 hours to continue your download after the limit exceeded.

And it is not always 5 GB .Sometimes mega can change it to even 1.5 GB :(

My question also, but... Clearly something more going on with some downloads I have sitting in JD2 and Mipony(OS X). A couple recent movie links (8-10 GB) will not start, just sit there with the exceeded message (JD2) or endless countdown (Mipony). Comments here suggest that maybe shouldn't be the case. Other things will download, mostly episodic links of less than 5 GB.

As far as I understand, the block is based on IP's not on account types (unless you have a premium account)..

And buying shared premium account wouldn't be convenient as it can get banned,bandwidth can be spent a hella lot faster..

[-] zyme_ | 0 points | Jun 03 2017 19:25:25

I haven't tested since 3 days ago, but for me Megalinks has always worked like this:

  • Up to about 5GB will Download (I pull in 6.5MB/s using chrome with Mega Extension), download auto resumes if page open after 7 hours.

  • Different browsers on same internet IP don't fool it, even using different accounts and that's with or without the extension.

  • HOWEVER switching to a different computer on my LAN has it's own separate 5GB download allowed before the 7Hrs pause. <em>(Same intenet IP)</em> | Megalinks MegaDB (Same intenet IP)

[-] GldRush98 | 1 points | Jun 04 2017 01:37:10

That's how it used to work and how megadownloader was able to bypass the limit. Unfortunately the change today is now IP based and not easily bypassed without changing your ip, which isn't always easy to do.

Is there really a big problem here? I mean, outside of the hardest of hardcore downloaders, most of us can probably be just fine with 5GB per 7 hours or whatever it is.

For larger files, why don't the mods get together and just look into approving one or two other sites that seem to do a good job with larger files and have decent download speeds without crazy malware? Then we have the same old system for megalinks, with just a few added sites that are known to be good speed and accommodate larger file sizes. Nofile.io seems like a decent choice for larger files, as does Stack (though that requires registration and an invite).
