[META] Temporary solution to Bypass "bandwidth limit exceeded" [MEGA] | Megalinks MegaDB [META] Temporary solution to Bypass "bandwidth limit exceeded" [MEGA]

As I said in the title, there is one way to avoid the "bandwidth limit exceeded" without using vpn, witout changing ip etc

Well, I'm really not good at explaining, I'll try to do my best.

1. | Megalinks MegaDB 1. I have been visiting the site and it does not stay online all the time | Megalinks MegaDB does not stay online all the time which means that when it is offline you can not encrypt or download anything even if the mega links are working

for this reason I propose that if any of the users that belong to u/megalinks have the possibility of maintaining a website 24/7 | Megalinks MegaDB I propose that if any of the users that belong to u/megalinks have the possibility of maintaining a website 24/7 and that they want deploy your own Megacrypter, there are some instructions in [megacrypter] (https://megacrypter.com/) to be able to implement it


Well this is getting a bit extensive | Megalinks MegaDB Well this is getting a bit extensive

This is the site shurcrypter.se | Megalinks MegaDB shurcrypter.se To do the test: if you have an file (mega link) that is larger than 5G preferable | Megalinks MegaDB larger than 5G preferable to know that it works, go to https://shurcrypter.se/ and encrypt the link.


EDIT: some errors are detected like "mega_edlurl" I do not know what it means in some cases it is possible to download and others do not. Well in any case I let you decide if it works or not as long as the site is kept online. | Megalinks MegaDB EDIT: some errors are detected like "mega_edlurl" I do not know what it means in some cases it is possible to download and others do not.

In simple terms, how does it work? How does it bypass the limit?

permalink

[-] n0197exe | 11 points | Dec 05 2017 18:24:09

Well, in reality that doesn't bypass the limit, what it does is that when encrypting the link, the final link will be with the url of the server on which the megacrypter is implemented making us believe that we are not downloading from "mega.nz"

I guess I'm lost too.

Is this to get around downloading files > 5GB

or

Is this to get around downloading > 5GB every X hours per IP

After skimming the github quickly it looks like the following is happening:

  • Implemented the MEGA json api in php

  • One of the features/abilities exposed via the json API is to create a temporary download url

  • Seems the loophole (not necessarily the intent of megacrypter) is that the temp download urls aren't/don't count against your IP quota

  • Didn't make it through all the code, but I'm guess after the temp mega download url is made available, some HTTP forwarding trickery is used to make it "look" like the link is being download from mydomain.xyz when in fact it is being downloaded from mega.nz

So ... if this works while hosted on some janky sometimes up website, it should theoretically work on a self hosted DO droplet or a self-spun local VM and skirt around the bandwidth limits. The traffic isn't being forwarded between you and mega, but (again, guessing) the http request/responses are so you're still downloading straight from mega even if it looks like you aren't. I'd be curious to see a packet trace on the traffic to see what the headers are saying is going on.

so far, doesnt work :/

yeah, in some cases I receive that same error which I do not know what it means, but when I try start another download this download perfectly.

Ive attempted it with your link and 2 other links, all over 5gb and i get the error on all 3, even while trying 1 link at a time. :(

edit | Megalinks MegaDB edit

Holy shit it does work. I attempted it with one of the massive Southpark posts, ofc the files arent 5gb+, but it is downloading the episodes individually and i know i hit the Mega cap just prior to trying this method. | Megalinks MegaDB Holy shit it does work.

Do you mean that it only lets you download multiple files up to 5GB each?

permalink

[-] MiDNighTzx10r | 6 points | Dec 05 2017 21:50:23

No. I had one of the massive SP posts sitting in my mega list (in megadownloader) I copied the urls, encrypted them as in the OP, put em in JDL and its downloading all of the episodes individually (rather than 1 massive link)....so the episodes vary from like 50mb to 250+mb but it is downloading them all.

I dont understand what you're asking then.

the 3 files that are single links and over 5gb, still havent dl'd. but the single link SP episodes DL just fine (and its been over 5GB in total)

[-] ErikEBZ | 2 points | Dec 05 2017 20:48:50

Well, it works but as you said, i downloaded 5 gb and my bandwicht limit is 1gb, so it works, but now as you said, now i try to keep downloading its says "file temporarily unavailable" (using jdownloader 2) i will try what happens in a couple of hour.

i think that if someone create a website with 24/7 would be magnificent person.

[-] Valar_Morghulis7 | 2 points | Dec 06 2017 00:58:57

Pretty sure it only works with download managers like JDL

hope it works ever since the inception of mega.nz i've never seen the bandwidth quota messages till later this month and god i hate them

Worked the first time for me, but every time after that I keep getting an error of "Temporarily Unavailable (shrcrypter.se)"

If you want, try to download a different file (another link), I do not really understand those errors, in some cases they do not let me download some files but with others they work fine.

Did you try using a download manager like JDL?

Is it a requirement or just a suggestion? I'd rather not use any programs so this site seems interesting

permalink

[-] AvidVideoGameFanatic | 2 points | Dec 06 2017 14:47:02

It's a suggestion, I think? I haven't tried it without a manager, but the site does say

Remember that protected links will only be downloadable with a manager unless you activate the domain-lock protection (see advanced options)

You could try activating domain-lock protection.

I found they offer an ad free installer themselves and that one didn't trigger anything xD. Now I'm getting the error others are getting but I'll keep trying.

Thanks again

just pay $5 for 1TB bandwidth from mega its well worth

Thanks for the tip OP! The bandwidth limit in my neck of the woods has become ridiculously low, and the website you recommended is working as we speak.

[-] TJHookerWithAPenis | -4 points | Dec 05 2017 19:50:13

The easiest way is to pause the download before reaching the limit, reset your connection (if your ISP assigns you a different ip every time you reconnect) or switch vpn exit nodes, then resume. This only works up to mega's 10GB limit in chrome (afaik it's lower in other browsers).

permalink

[-] n0197exe | 9 points | Dec 05 2017 19:57:16

Well, but I think if you have static ip, when you reset your connection you will get the same ip.

permalink

[-] TJHookerWithAPenis | -1 points | Dec 06 2017 00:59:33

You might be surprised to learn that I specifically stated the condition that your ISP has to issue a new IP on each connect for it to be true, and then I said that switching exit nodes on a VPN would do the same thing. But whatever, people like to downvote shit.

permalink

[-] n0197exe | 2 points | Dec 06 2017 01:10:55

I understand that I also use sometimes a vpn but in some cases if you use a free vpn and other users use it, this might generate the same ip and it would be showing quickly with the limit without having reached 5GB, so if there is a way to avoid the change of use of vpn I would use it, each one decides which is the best way to download.

So they did it because it's posted elsewhere, even though it's correct, relevant to this post, and was not yet posted as a reply. And furthermore the sidebar isn't always visible (like on mobile) and the actual location of the answer in the sidebar is buried in the comments of a different linked post, which means it is entirely possible that someone might not have seen it or might have forgotten it exists.

I stand by my statement that people like to downvote shit, because in these circumstances it was entirely unfuckingnecessary.

Why do you think snatched content is on Mega ? if they could afford a mega subscription they would've bought the content they want to download in the first place .

Idk it's fairly cheap. I don't pay for it myself but I used to when it was megaupload.

Also the same reason I pay for a seedbox, convenience. Id rather pay than wait.

LOL your saying that on a pirating site. Paying for anything defeats the purpose of why people are really here.

Paying to quickly and easily mass download pirated content? Ok, i guess I'm the outsider then.

$7/month for all the space I need and 60/MBps down, is not worth it? I fail to see how.

The content is free and accessed freely. If you can't understand that then you're too dense to speak with.
