I'm technically on a headless server but I can easily fix that. I'm just wondering if there is a megadownloader to bypass the limit on Linux. Thanks everyone for the amazing uploads!

Megatools. https://megatools.megous.com/

To download a single file: megadl --path '/location/folder/' 'https://mega.co.nz/#12345'

However ive had trouble downloading multiple files. But moving the files to your account first, then downloading it from there works: megasync --username '[email protected]' --local '/location/folder/' --remote '/Root' --download

Note that '/Root' refers the entire directory for you mega account, you can be more specific.

How do we install from terminal ? I have ubuntu on my vps. I want to install it there. apt-get install doesn't see it as package and on the official page it says there is "pre-packaged in the package repository of your distribution" but how can I get that via terminal only ? Also building from source is also not explained clearly. I am not very good at linux just if there is complete guide I can follow.

Edit : NVM, I found a guide to compile it from source. https://wiseindy.com/it/how-to-install-megatools-in-ubuntu-14-04-5-lts-trusty-tahr/

I know this is super uber late response but I just did it about 3 seconds ago on ubuntu by running 'sudo apt-get install mega-tools'
