I had noticed a while ago on some of my movie sites they had started renaming their files, after talking with one of the site ops he told me he noticed that if he didn't put the release name & just abbreviated it the links last longer because the link scanners look for file names when trying to kill links, I started doing the same thing & it does seem to work along with putting the mega link & decryption key separate, & put your files in a folder, if you do this your links will last longer. My Deadpool post from 5-14-16 is still up, all the other Deadpool links from that same time are dead.

Do you think my files will be fine if I just name them with the number and episode name? I usually stuff shit in folders with only the initials and season number for shows but for my SU uploads I call them things like "4.4) Mindful Education" and link directly to them, so far I don't think anything's gone down but I'm just making sure.

What about files which are not shared? I have multiple drives with stuff imported from this subreddit and other sites. Would those be in danger of being taken down too? Renaming every file would be too much of a hassle.

It isn't very difficult if you've say..a list of episodes from a tv show. You can just use ES file explorer, log in to your mega account using the " cloud" storage. Now just select all the episodes and tap on the cursor "I" icon on top... You have a few good options there for batch renaming

That's what I'm talking about, like this post [MOVIE] The.Wizard.of.Oz.1939.720p.BluRay.x264.750MB-Pahe.in [750.9MB]
The file name is TWoO1939720p
I think this kind of naming is very important both for the health of a link and the survival of a site. In addition to no active links on a page with the link and key separate one can prevent takedowns.
When I say no active links and a separate link and key I mean this information in the first comment: Link: #F!739ARHbh Key: !m3nSB4wx11we2DlHoTv7wk
How do you get to an encrypted link?
Non-working example link:
Link: #F!739ARHbh
Key: !m3nSB4wx11we2DlHoTv7wk
https://mega.nz/ + link + key
https://mega.nz/ + #F!739ARHbh + !m3nSB4wx11we2DlHoTv7wk
https://mega.nz/#F!739ARHbh!m3nSB4wx11we2DlHoTv7wk
All MEGA links are encrypted in such a way. If you look at any of them you will see the same pattern with link and key. In fact if you create an active link that has only the link value (https://mega.nz/#F!739ARHbh) a user will be prompted to enter the decryption key.
Does Mega really go and take down movies and stuff? I mean, it's Mega after all...
Just wondering why it doesn't seem like everyone and their mother is putting pirated content on Mega? Seems quite low key at the moment?
The reason it is so low key is that most people will be using torrent sites like pirate bay and stuff, which is good for us, because if everyone started using mega then corporations will start taking more action against people sharing stuff on it. They haven't yet because millions use torrents while only thousands use mega for illegal downloading, at least that's what I think it is, but don't quote me on this

I put my links in a text file and then post a link to the text file. Have stuff from nearly 200 days ago that is still up.
