I use megalinks because I am able to download shows/movies that would otherwise not be possible because of dead torrents. I know what kind of speeds to expect, as well as the added security of having encrypted downloads.

no, torrenting from public trackers. I just gave up torrenting at home all together.

Well tbh im kinda broke, have shitty internet and i cant use torrents due to the way my internet is set up and mega is end-end encrypted and I found a lot better quality and quantity shows on here and other sites.

Because I love the people that post links on here. I know how much they love posting links and without me here they would feel like they have no purpose in the world. The reason i'm here is because I give them purpose.

I use it for the requests when i can't find a torrent
It gives me a chance to share content that I think is hard to find or hasn't been released in most territories. And unlike torrents, you don't have to wait on seeders to connect.
Not worrying about the seeds for a torrent, mega has consistent speeds
No copyright notices
No ads when searching for things
Easy to find high quality downloads
Mega has end-to-end encryption
Less chance of a fake download
Safer for software
I'm cheap and like free things
Like torrents, it's a sharing community and I like people to share
Edit : clarifications

HBO in my country provides game of thrones in crap quality so i get it in glorious x264 here
r/megalinks is a wonderful community
MEGA has a streamlined super-fast service that is #1 in
BTW, r/megalinks is growing fast. Check out http://redditmetrics.com/r/megalinks. The # of subsribers has doubled in the last 7 months. There was also another inflection point sometime in the first week of July 2017 that has placed us on an even steeper trajectory. Not sure what happened then to drive growth.
I just hope this community can retain its character as it grows.

The Australian government has just sent to every internet provider in the country a list of torrent sites and TV share sites that they must block access to. Word is getting out, albeit slowly, about alternatives.

Saves me time vs ripping my discs + I get exposed to things I'd have never known about otherwise so I can further drain my wallet and waste time filling my life with empty media instead of relationships.

Very friendly customer experience, reliable, not too many ads, great Reddit community.
Torrent, VPN and even Tor is blocked in my university.
[-] TheOriginalDJShotty | 0 points
Create a Windows environment on a USB stick, restart the university's PC so you can change boot device order, boot to that USB and you can forget the blocks and restrictions imposed by whatever OS the university has installed.
But I use both windows and linux. Nothing seems to work. I think they have installed some kind of firewall which block all VPN, P2P traffic amd ofcourse Tor.

Hi guys, I'm wondering what's the best way to submit a link ? Does it have to be the most encrypted possible ? Because I'd like my links (music) to last as long as possible.
How do you do it ? Is is possible to get some informations about that ?
Thank you very much, I just started submitted a few links.
Check out what /u/douhaveanygreypoupon is doing with his posts on HBO series TV shows. Steganography with megadownloader is a great way to keep the links alive if you don't mind restrictring the downloads to one application since there is no way to see the actual links themselves.
Other than that, you can use Base64, link protectors, having people solve math problems, and editing the links so that certain characters should be added/removed to get the actual link.

Thank you very much!
Ease to use, fast and safe. It is the prettier and nicer daughter of megaupload.
torrents totally illegal with extreme prosecution where I live ex. download a torrent and you have a 95% chance of getting a letter in the mail from a lawyers office for a 500euro fine. only direct downloads are allowed. ( due to a loop hole). Megalinks gives me access to fast downloads of great content.
[-] OccasionallyWeDie | 2 points
Public torrents are unreliable for older releases because they usually have few to no seeders.
I'm not a member of any private trackers.
Other direct link sites like Warez-BB are still okay but my Rapidgator premium membership ran out last month.
Premium link generation sites are a massive pain in the ass and the sites seem to get shittier/less reliable every time I use them, and will involve at least 3 minutes of clicking through ads regardless.

Don't want to pay for a VPN to download torrents, but I also don't trust "free" VPNs. Megalinks provides most of the content I want, in the quality that I need it. Plus,like rednight39 said, it's great for finding new content.

Because the dirtywarez forum shut down and this is now the best and easiest place to find Game of Thrones.
[-] [deleted] | 1 points
Randomly used it to find things dead via torrent. Now all I do is fulfill upload requests.
First, I don't want to use torrents for anything. Second, I actually came to megalinks once GoT season 7 started - I pay for netflix but not hbo so yeah. Aside from GoT, I'm getting anime movies in HD so I'm happy with this.
Because this is a place where I can find a lot of stuff I can't on torrents.
My only problem is that MEGA's free service is absolute dicks so gotta pay up for a signature.
I like to try before I buy when it comes to movies, if I like it, I buy it, if I don't, I delete it.
As for TV shows, it started when FOX stopped releasing The Simpsons on DVD and when they refused to release any more Modern Family series on Blu-Ray and went DVD-only in UK. I never have time to sit in front of the TV so having the shows on a hard drive for me to watch as I'm working or doing something else is perfect. If producers released their shows on Blu-Ray, I wouldn't need to download them.
Love the community of megalinks. The downloads are more vetted, so low chance of any malware or bad quality.
End-to-end encryption is a plus of MEGA, but the bandwidth limits are so annoying now, even with a Pro I account I'm still only able to download 5Gb a day, it seems, despite the 1Tb Bandwidth Limit I'm given.
No Seeders required, unlike Torrents.
I find new shit I'd never even think to look for because of this subreddit. I'm really just interested all of it and this sub has filled my 500gb movie drive in a week. Lots to watch. No real other reason then I don't know what I like really so I just download it all.

I mainly use overseas subscription-based Newsgroup Servers for content, but they typically get takedown notices for popular new releases within 2 to 3 days of a posting. So unless you get it right away, it will be gone. Megalinks gives me a last chance avenue to grab some of the titles taken off newsgroup servers without having to use the dreadful torrent scene.

REALLY wanted Star Trek TNG. Found the (still up!) page five pages deep in a google search for "star trek tng free download."
Thanks to Megalinks, I've never had to torrent a day in my life.
[-] Synyster-_- | 1 points
Reliable speeds, you know the exact encode and quality.
Plus everyone is really friendly on here, which is probably the main reason. :) great community
[-] Greekian123 | 1 points
Megalinks is just so much more convenient. No-one likes using VPN's to torreent. Mega doesn't use p2p so my isp doesn't even notice. I get download speeds up to 14MB/s so I'm not complaining at all. The community regularly updates the subreddit and ads are non-existent (i.e. TPB). Plus you can make requests and chances are someone will fulfill your wish :D
Open Directories got to be too reliable.
unreliable?
No, reliable. Mega's always been iffy for me, if I don't hit the bandwidth limit something else goes sideways. Hell even some of the zips I yanked today are corrupted for some reason straight off this sub. Plus I'm on mac so no external downloaders
but that's not the question :D
