[meta] megadownloader corrupt files | Megalinks MegaDB [meta] megadownloader corrupt files

in the last couple of days when i tried to download files (be it video files or compressed files) using MegaDownloader the resulting files turned out corrupted, can't play or can't extract them. when i tried downloading the same files via browser they turned out fine, no problem what so ever. did anyone encounter this as well? i'm using V1.7

I've had the same problem. I resolved it by changing the settings to download only a single file at a time. If the file is compressed (zip or rar), you can check the integrity using 7zip when your download is complete.

Options... Configuration... In the General tab, in the lower-right, set "Number of parallel downloads" to 1. Then click Save.

okay but what if it is just one file? why is it still getting corrupt?

[-] chagmed | 1 points | Apr 02 2017 09:25:56

Is parallel downloads set to 1?

[-] 2D-Not-PG | 1 points | Apr 03 2017 01:43:27

sent you a PM - let's try to figure this out

so did you guys find any way to solve the problem aside from changing the number of parallel downloads?

[-] chagmed | 1 points | Apr 06 2017 09:25:18

What usually works for me:

reducing parallel downloads

pausing download briefly before restarting

resetting my modem

trying the same download using JDownloader
