[META] is it possible to download sequentially using mega downloader?

Not sure what you mean by sequentially, but you can

force it to only download one file at a time. Under Options, Configuration, bottom right, number of concurrent files.
You can order the downloads by increasing/decreasing the priority of the items in the main list. Right click the item, then pick increase/decrease priority. If you pause downloads you could work through the list and get them into the order you want before resuming downloads.

This is for MegaDownloader 1.7, not MegaSync.

I know that can happen. What if there's one file. Is it possible to watch it the moment I click download, just like torrents.

No.

I would like to piggy back his question since you seem knowledgeable.. when I download a folder with other folders inside it will download all files and stick them into one folder, and take the rest of the folders and put them on the same level as the original.

Any idea what causes this?

[-] ruralcricket | 1 points | Nov 22 2016 07:21:41

I've had it do that also, but the resulting folders were empty at the end. I assume it's a bug in MegaDownloader.

Ahh, yea mine were empty too. It's a bummer of a bug then. Oh well, cheers!

This happens to me as well. It's a bug in the software.

Nah

There must be some way! It allows streaming to VLC. Can't it direct output to a file instead? I don't know a lot about how this stuff works. Just guessing

Edit: is to it

[-] IgnoreMyName | 1 points | Nov 22 2016 12:34:04

No. To put it simply, Megadownloader downloads each file in pieces and pieces the said pieces together after it's done downloading. That's why every file you download will finish downloading and say 99% complete as the last 1% it is recompiling the parts and saving to your storage of choice.
