[META] Anyone Having slow download speeds? | Megalinks MegaDB [META] Anyone Having slow download speeds?

I'm trying to download something from Mega, and I have 100 download speed (10megabytes/second) but the download goes at 50-100kb/s instead. It was working fine yesterday. I tried downloading from different sites and the speed is fine. Anyone else have the issue or suggestions? I'm downloading from the browser.

Try megadownloader. Never had a problem with it.

I second megadownloader. It's fantastic.

crashes for me. for instance, i am trying to download 1 movie from that giant clint eastwood mega folder that was posted here. when i load the link, it begins downloading all the movies. so i click on all the other movies, then right click, then choose remove from list. then the whole thing crashes. i'm unable to even use it.

You can use Jdownloader to select the specific links you want out of a a massive folder. Delete the ones you don't want. Highlight the ones you do. Right click go to create DLC (which I think is under other). Save the DLC file and then open that in megadownloader.

If you do get jdownloader though make sure you get one without adware.

It's weird because I get 1/5 of my regular speed on Megadownloader. I was wondering if it could be something in the settings.

Go to the configuration menu and make sure that "Limit speed to _ | Megalinks MegaDB __ KB/s" is unchecked. I also tend to set the parallel downloads to 1. The default settings have it downloading three files at the same time, which can lower an otherwise great download speed to something like 3 MBPS because it's being shared between the files.

Thanks for your reply. Those settings were already exactly like you mentioned. The speed seems to be somewhat normal now. The issue could be on Mega's end.
