You can use r/ProtonVPN. It's by the guys over at Protonmail. It's fast enough and whenever hit Mega's bandwidth limit you simply have to reconnect and you're assigned a new IP. Also, there are no data caps although you're stuck with free servers which are fine upto 100-150ish Mbps, more than that you gotta go with the paid ones.

But there's no quotation marks around 50GBFREE. And "Claim Voucher" isn't something they have to enter, and nobody would be like 'oh this is Claim Voucher not "Claim Voucher", must be the wrong button'. :P

Make sure to use code SOS60GBS for 60 GB per month
Edit: doesn't work anymore apparently
SOS60GBS
Is this permanent, like the 50GBFREE code?
[-] KidneyMuncher | 7 points
juse use one of those when you sign up. after you sign up, go to options and click claim voucher, and enter the other code. now you get 110GB. its perm baby
Oh damn, that's great! Thanks
Edit: It just reduced my account from 60 -> 50 :( it didn't add
[-] KidneyMuncher | 4 points
it worked for me in the beginning when the codes were first released. This was like over a month ago. Maybe they fixed the bug? :(
Aw damn :( Thanks anyway though. I'll try again another time and see if it works. Did it immediately add up for you, or did you have to wait?
[-] KidneyMuncher | 3 points
you should put the 60gb code in there, to regain the 10gb back haha. or make a new account. i think it was immediate, but I forgot.
I'm going to try making a new account and input the 50gb code in the account creation stage and see if that works. Will report back.
Update: No, it didn't work :( that's okay, the 60gb is still pretty good.
[-] KidneyMuncher | 3 points
at least now, you have multiple accounts, so if one runs out, you have another one LOL. that reminds me, that's a good idea. I'll make multiple accounts too. So its kind of like you have 100gb, but just spread through different accounts
[-] cosmicblue24 | 4 points
Does multiple accounts work for you on Windows? For me the application always detect the new account and says that you cannot use multiple accounts and to log in to the old account :/

I bought a lifetime access for Windscribe in November of last year and have been using it ever since. It's pretty solid. My only advice is to start and stop the Windscribe client by hand, don't leave it running when you shut down for example. Otherwise there might still be a Windscribe service running, that you can only find in the Task Manager and if the firewall is still on you can't access the internet without knowing what's going on. Also, sometimes after a few hours I just loose connection and it wont reconnet automatically, so I have to stop and start again. I use MegaDownloader for downloading. When I add multiple files, I select them and hit force download, I can download much more than 5 GB without having to switch locations. You can also increase the limit in the options. If you get the "Bandwidth limit exceeded" error, switch locations and "reset" (not sure how its called in the english version) the downloads, then hit force download again and it'll resume. Downloaded over 100 GB in the last week without too much hassle.
[-] Wolfensteinor | 1 points
Can confirm. I was also able to download without a limit as long as I download everything I want at once using force download
before anyone just blindly starts using this please take a minute to read the privacy statement. https://windscribe.com/privacy . i would recommend using Nord https://nordvpn.com/ or pia https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ . also this seems to be a relatively new company

[-] KidneyMuncher | 7 points

Also works using Proxy servers in Jdownloader. Just add bunch of free proxies and enable them all.
My comment might be a bit redundant but for anyone on mac osx you can do pretty much exactly the same thing (shown above on windows). Just download megasync for mac and windscribe for mac. When megasync tells you to upgrade just connect with windscribe and close the app then restart.
If you have any problem using the above procedure on mac feel free to ask :)

I have a free ProtonVPN account, they currently have a wait list. It's a new service and the client is a bit flakey. Can be used with OpenVPN client for you Linux users. I just tried Windscribe. My free Proton account maxes out my 1MB/s down, while Windscribe is only getting 200-500KB/s (bytes). I'm in a US location & used "Best location"
https://protonvpn.com/pricing
/r/protonvpn
I'll start using your solution as well. Thanks.
Quick question, do the limit the amount of bandwidth used on the free teir? I might try the next teir above.

No limit, just very few egress ip addresses. But there is a wait list for the free accounts.

For those of you willing to pay a little, I recommend Real-Debrid. For β¬4/month, you get unlimited traffic, and you can also add your Real-Debrid account to JDownloader and then download MEGA links directly from JD as usual with no limitations.

I keep getting a corrupted file once I finished downloading. Any help or similar cases?
I get the usual 5GB downloaded, then it basically pauses/stops. So I turn on Windscribe, excit completely out of Megadownloader, reopen, and select the file to continue and it will download (most of the time).
But once I go to open the completed file, there is an error. Is it because I exited out of Megadownloader with a half way completed download?
(Can I simply pause the download, turn on windscribe, and then hit resume? Or do I 100% have to exit out of megadownloader?)

Has anyone tried SoftEther, it's a free VPN service created by some JP college students. If anyone is interested in trying it I uploaded the files needed to get it running proper on ZippyShare. It's legit. Western PSO2 users, myself included, used to when Western IPs starting getting blocked.

[-] TurdCrapily | 1 points
This bandwidth BS is pissing me off. In order to get a new IP from my ISP (Concast) I would need to leave my modem unplugged for 12 hours or more. A simple power cycle will not work. And the "50GBFREE" code also does not work. I get an "Invalid voucher code" error when I try. Lastly, the PIA proxy seems to be over used because I get nothing but "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" errors. Fuck Mega!
[-] Wolfensteinor | 1 points
I've been able to bypass this error for a while now using 2 methods.
What I do is load all the links I wanna download to Megadownloader without starting the download, and once you finish loading the download list, select them all and right click and force download.
This way it finishes downloading all the files at once even their total size is more than the limit but after it finishes you can't START another download for 6 hours.
Second method is, when I get the download limit exceeded error, I ran the CCleaner and rebooted the PC and I was able to download more. I think doing this resets the Mega's timer/clock or whatever.
Please someone try these and confirm?
can you elaborate a bit more on what you mean when you say not to start the download but force it to download? as far as i know, the only way is to let it start asap right?

Piece of advice to most non-American users!
If your country uses a system without fixed IP addresses (unlike what the US has), simply restarting your internet connection via the router will work just as well as using a VPN like /u/vcdupper, without losing out on any download speed. To do this either go into your router menu via the browser and restart the internet connection there or simply unplug the router and plug it back in. You'll have a fresh IP and after restarting Mega you can continue downloading :)

Also alot of cable companies only fix the ip to a DHCP pool in regards to the MAC that they get in bridging. So if you change the MAC on the wan port of your router. BAM new IP. In alot of US cases.
permalink
[-] chimbi | 19 points | Jul 20 2017 17:57:26
if the account is binded to MAC address, by changing (faking) the MAC, the ISP will not recognise the device and you will stay offline.
permalink
[-] SergeantHindsight | 8 points | Jul 20 2017 20:13:15
To the cable modem yes. but the cable modem passes the dhcp to the end user device, This can be your router or directly plugged in. So if you reboot the model since it caches the mac on the user side after you plugin whichever other device or change your mac it should work fine.
permalink
[-] chimbi | 4 points | Jul 21 2017 13:29:30
The IP address will be assigned after the authentication successfully passed. If the authentication is based on the MAC address, by changing it you will not pass validation.

Yes, my router is a SophosUTM VM in an ESXi environment. I can have up to 8 public IPs if I need but if I ever need to switch my IPs I can just change the MAC on the nic.
Edit - Most IPS do not allow multiple IPs but mine does.
permalink
[-] chimbi | 2 points | Jul 25 2017 09:08:31
You are changing the MAC on the Router and not on the Modem. So you can connect as much devices as you want behind the modem and it will works, you can even start your own ISP bussiniss. I'm just curious: how it will work if you decide to buy a fix IP, how the ISP will know that your account desires fix IP address. And, what is the bandwidth you are paying for, and what is the bandwith you are getting on each interface?
permalink
[-] SergeantHindsight | 2 points | Jul 25 2017 15:59:22
Not sure why you think this is crazy, it really isn't. You don't need many public IPs to be an ISP. You only need one. You can NAT everything else. So yes even you can have as many devices as you want now as long as you have your networking right. Bandwidth isn't by the interface it's by the modem. I have 500 meg down and I get that shared across any of them.

[-] chimbi | 1 points | Jul 25 2017 19:00:42
It's strange that ISP is allowing multiple sessions without any authentication, that you can take as menu IPs as you want (it's still time of IPv4). You mean PAT not NAT ;) as you are translating port (on one public IP address) to a private IP address. NAT would be 1:1 public2private. I still don't get how the ISP would be able to assign fix IP to desired account if there is no any kind of authentication.
permalink
[-] [deleted] | 1 points | Aug 28 2017 05:17:07
Wrong. I use comcast and changing my spoofed MAC address that my wireless router uses (that attaches to the cable modem) I get a new public IP address after it reboots. Sometimes I need to re-sign-in but that's all.
You should brush up on your DHCP. A server would just see a 'new' address and give it a 'new' IP address then, just like what actually happens instead of what you think.
permalink
[-] chimbi | 3 points | Aug 28 2017 16:00:07
That's not the same. As u said: "re-sign", you are, most probably, signing-in by using PPPoE session. That's how the authentication works for you. Since your radius credentials are bound to an DHCP pool, by resetting connection you will always get a new IP address.

[-] chimbi | 3 points | Jul 21 2017 13:15:25
Actually its depends only on the ISP itself. Usually, per default, you are getting IP from the DHCP pool and the fix IP or IP range (typically corporate service) cost some extra money.

Generally, your router (your LAN) is not not less secure with a fix IP address then with a DHCP one. But there is a benefits of using Fix IP, it's much simpler to maintain access for LAN devices that have to be reachable from the internet (mail server, web server, file server...) or to maintain VPN tunnels (site to site...) . You can simple have a NAS in LAN that should be reachable from the internet, by having fix IP you can forward desired port to the LAN IP of the NAS, and NAS will always be reachable over the same address.

Except not in many cases. Typically your IP is tied to your modem's MAC address, unless you change that MAC address you will be stuck with the same IP till your DHCP lease expires. You'll want to change your MAC address.

[-] Vepanion | 5 points | Aug 29 2017 11:01:56
That's how it works in North America. In other places you just need to restart the router (or disconnect from the internet and connect again). I know what I'm talking about, I've done it a million times.

For comcast I know it is the MAC address of whatever plugs into the cable modem. Luckily mine is a great ASUS router, it has spoofing MAC addresses built in.
I just change it by one digit on the end of the MAC address, reboot the router and BAM new IP.
This should work for anyone w/Comcast in America :)
