It would be great if it were mandatory in this sub that all files above 4.5Gb shared, should also have an extra link added as well such as zippyshare or google drive links.
[-] PricelessPersuader | 28 points
That's to much work. If that where the case I'd just not upload anything over 4.5GB
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 3 points
Not really google drive uploads 5x faster than mega. I get around 2Mb/s on mega, but gdrive I get +10Mb/s. It also helps keeps the file alive even if the mega link goes down and you need time reuploading on mega. Even if you don't want to share the alternate links in the post you can pm it to requesting users as a temp backup.
Not all uploaders might have high upload speeds, time and some users even have to deal with data caps. Making this mandatory would mean uploading the same content twice (or thrice) so you're not necessarily saving time.
Also gdrive limits files/accounts when a file is constantly being downloaded by multiple users, 15GB limit per account instead of 50. Great recommendation as a backup but not a really good one as a rule.
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 1 points
Correct gdrive does limit accounts for 24hrs when downloaded many times, which is also good as it lowers the popularity of a post and reducing a file being permanently taken down by users. Making multiple gdrive accounts are fast and can be done easily on an android phone. Zippyshare as the other alternate is fine too as it uploads fast even though the 200mb limits. Both can be uploaded while uploading to mega. Sure it will take more time and bandwith but at the end of the day it will be a real convenience for the community in this sub.
You keep pretending that uploading to zippyshare is just a matter of bandwidth. There is more work required to actually split huge uploads into 200MB chunks. The larger the share, the greater the work. It's unfair to burden uploaders with this.
[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 10 points
Everything is free, but comes at a price. Either the uploaders take the burden to make it easier for you to get free content or the downloaders figure out how to get said content themselves (either at a cost of time and/or money)
I wish people would just use megasync and deal with the 5-6 hr timeout. At worst it takes a day to grab a 15-20GB file. Is that really that bad?

Voice of reason here. Thank you. Our consumer culture requires today's download to finish yesterday...
[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 6 points
why can't i have my free stuff now?
Either pay for a vpn to swap IPs every 5GB or pay for the mega acct. Like I said before, everything can be had for free, but comes at a price. The uploaders shouldn't be the one taking the hit here (space, bandwidth, time, etc) just b/c the downloader doesn't want to figure out how to work within (or around) the restrictions.
It does upload faster but i have problems downloading huge files in gdrive it just doesn't download or download always fails.
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 1 points
Use IDM when downloading from Gdrive. I notice when you download multiple Gdrive files with the browser the files just get stuck or fail, whereas with IDM you can download multiple files without those problems.
Not all uploaders even follow the current simple rules, and you want to impose this kind of requirement? There are plenty of sources out there with alternate links to other hosting providers. r/megalinks is unique in that it's the best source for
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 1 points
Correct mega will always be the first prority links in the sub. However extra alternate links will also be a great help for all users especially just for files that are very large and will take ages downloading with the 5gb limit or vpns.

The burden cannot be eliminated, only shuffled around. It would not be fair to shift the burden onto uploaders.
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 1 points
Your newer uploads all have zippyshare links. Why say it is a burden when it is really helpful. Keeping links alive will always be a burden to uploaders and we just have to deal with it.
Why say it is a burden when it is really helpful.
I say it is a burden because it is. The fact that it is also helpful doesn't make it less of a burden, technically speaking. It's a burden to split 100GB of content into 200MB files. That is something I would never want to see required of uploaders.
Ultimately, the community will decide! It's been around long enough, most likely b/c of the easy-going nature here. But if most users want to impose your ideas, then I say let democracy take its course :). I just want to make sure the counter viewpoint was presented, b/c so many users constantly whine and complain on here w/o understanding what is required to deliver them their precious entertainment :)
I've said it a hundred times. If someone wants zippyshare links specifically, don't complain about it on r/megalinks. Take what you get, say thank you, and move on. :D
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 1 points
Lol I'm like a dictator now imposing ideas😄. Yeah i get what you saying now. Never used this discussion thread before so I thought it will be a great place for a debate for an issue like this. Thanks for your's and the other commenters views and I look foward to this sub evolving for the better in the future.
Or people could post more x265
Then it has a lower file size and stays under the limit
And after my VLC failed to play a few h264, I am avoiding 264. No point in downloading a few GB and then I cannot watch that
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 1 points
True x265 is better for smaller sizes. Not sure why x264 is not working for you on vlc. Try updating vlc or download potplayer on your pc or mx player on your phone.
A lot do but not all, yea.
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 0 points
Correct man and the large file posts with no alternate links will always have users in the comment sections requesting for alternate links.
Fortunately, there are already alternate solutions for alternate links!
As an uploader, you know that!
If someone wants alternate sources, they already exist. Go out there and use them! Don't force anything on uploaders.
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 1 points
It might be easier for video uploads, but for finding music sources they are sparse, and torrents are the best quality sources. Thats why it is feasible sharing alternate links besides mega. It saved me from finding and downloading and uploading torrent files again many times even after i lost my storage device.
[-] zackogenic | 1 points
I just wouldn't upload if that was a rule
Not sure if this has been previously discussed. But, can we have a way to mark dead links?
[-] indigo6alpha | 6 points
We'd thought of tasking the AutoMod or a custom bot to do this, but now I think we need to establish a proper format for posting links before we try doing this.
[-] Kill_Me_Now_World | 6 points
Would it be to much work to be able to report posts as "dead link" and have mods sort through all the reports?
[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 2 points
would you want to wade through tons of dead link reports when half of them could easily not be dead?
between the base64, the salts in the b64, the salts in the b64 output, the remove the bold, password is my name, password is sub name, password is sub name with caps, etc there's potential for so much PEBCAK or ID10T occurrences that this is probably the last thing the mods want to be dealing with
[-] Kill_Me_Now_World | 3 points
That's why I asked if it would be to much work. I'd be willing to sort through some and clean the sub up a little bit.

If my max screen resolution is 1366x768 am I an idiot for downloading 1080p res content over 720p? I figure on my screen the 1080p must be downscaled or something right?
[-] PricelessPersuader | 5 points
You have to use a higher bit-rate for 1080p so it's going to look better regardless if your screen res.
[-] mredofcourse | 2 points
That's a bit misleading. You (should but) don't have to use a higher bit rate for 1080p over 720p. If you don't use a higher bit rate, the quality will likely be worse for 1080p (unless you overkilled on the bit rate for the 720p).
Example: a video at 720p that's 1GB may have no compression artifacts, while that same video at 1080p that's encoded to be 1GB may have significant compression artifacts.
No. First because even though you'll still be getting a 1080p downscale that's still better than a 720p upscale. Your monitor is 768p after all and not 720p. Second, 1080p requires a higher bit-rate so it'll almost always look better independently.
Most of all though, what matters is if you can notice the difference.
[-] Kill_Me_Now_World | 2 points
You should be able to tell the difference between the two yourself...?
[-] TheGoodSheep | 3 points
Sometimes you only get what you want from pages like YourSerie.com. If you've ever been to that place you know what ad hell you have to endure to finally get to the MEGA link.
What kind of add ons do you use to prevent tabs from opening and maybe making life easier on ouo.io and all these countdown/captcha pages?
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 1 points
Never tried jdownloader on YourSerie.com but when im downloading links from the fitgirlrepacks site, as soon as you copy the link jdownloader automatically gets you a simplified captcha in the program and after typing the text you can continue straight to downloading.
[-] TheGoodSheep | 1 points
Has nothing to do with jdownloader, it's about the way to get the link in the first place.
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 1 points
Yeah just tested it doesnt work on yourserie. They got multiple linkshrink ads. It helps though with fitgirl getting past captchas/ads in multiupload for the links.

Unfortunately its a game site. Try http://snahp.it for series.
[-] TheGoodSheep | 1 points
I love this site and prefer Zippy over MEGA, sadly they mostly have the 1080p 10+ gb versions of movies. The only reason I still use YourSerie is the offer of smaller sizes movies/tv shows.
[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 3 points
You can try psarips as well. They have mega and openload which is a great alternative. If you use seedr you can paste torrent magnet links and it uploads it to their torrent cloud and you can then download it with idm or jdownloader.
There are userscripts that kinda help with all the linkshrink ads but unfortunately you can't really bypass them since they started adding google captchas. If your main problem is the popups you can install an extension such as uMatrix or NoScript depending on your browser and customize it to your needs
Yourserie is a pain alright.I have learned to right click & open links in a new tab as sometimes you get lost & can not get back to the original search page so have to start all over again.I find that http://twoddl.co has better quality links these days including zippyshare.

No, not really. I tried ScriptBlock, but it doesn't avoid the background popups and generally not that much. My hope lies with the next Google Chrome updates.
Hi everyone. Does anyone here use KODI to watch their media? I’ve noticed a lot of people posting special features with the films. Is there anyway I can connect the special features to the film similar to how you can do Specials in TV Shows?
[-] BigBadNova | 4 points
I don't know of a way to do this with kodi but plex automatically does this if the Feature folder is placed within the corresponding movie folder.
[-] PricelessPersuader | 2 points
Plex does a great job with it.
[-] tiiiiimmmm | 3 points
As far as i know there isn't an easy way of doing this mostly because no one seems to be keeping track of the extras to be scraped like they do for TV. Unless someone else knows if they actually added this into KODI I think you need to install an add-on and add features manually to have KODI manage them: http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Extras
You can also read about nfo files which are used to scrape info here: http://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files

x265 1080p 10bit,is this format can be transcoded smoothly in a raspberry pi 3? Or any way to have a very cheap plex server with 1 1080p x265 10bit transcode?
I’m sitting on a pile of DVD ISOs collected from multiple sources what is the optimal setting to use in either handbrake or whats recommended here. I have a somewhat modern pc (nvidia video card, Win10) with plenty of space.
[-] tiiiiimmmm | 1 points
Optimal in what way, size or quality, performance or accessibility? Whatever settings you use if the source is not progressive scan (most if not all DVD sources) you will need to set Detelecine (Filters Tab) to default and the FPS to 29.97 to avoid blended scenes.
I should have been more specific but I'm looking recommended setting for Plex playback for both audio and video encoding.
[-] tiiiiimmmm | 1 points
Do you stream to a lot of machines at the same time? How strong is the machine Plex is running on? Are you more concerned about quality or size? That's still much too generic of a description of your needs. All I can tell you from that is don't encode in x265, Plex can't handle it natively and transcodes which takes a ton of resources.
Size doesnt bother me too much I just don't want a jumbo size like 4gb for one 720p dvd rip ( I want some compression just not a lot where SCI-FI movies look like crap). Computer its streaming from is a Dell R710 Server 2x 6-Core E5645 2.40Ghz with 72GB ram in a VM of Ubuntu
[-] tiiiiimmmm | 1 points
Are these actual DVD ISOs or are some of them Blu-ray? DVDs don't support HD resolutions. You probably want to encode at CRF 18. This will give you good results without having to mess with the settings too long. If you are encoding HD you can set the CRF higher to between 22-26. I would set the encoder preset to medium but the lower you set it the longer the file will take to encode but the smaller it will be.
[-] mredofcourse | 1 points
All I can tell you from that is don't encode in x265, Plex can't handle it natively and transcodes which takes a ton of resources.
This is dependent on the client. More and more clients are supporting HEVC (x265). For example, Plex will direct play HEVC to an Apple TV running the latest tvOS as will it to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac with the latest OS. The Nvidia shield and others also support HEVC with Direct Play via Plex.
HEVC offers a significant quality to bit rate ratio over H.264 and others. If your clients support it, I highly recommend thinking about using it.
[-] tiiiiimmmm | 1 points
Good to know. I have been moving my whole collection to x265 but I don't run a Plex server and was unaware it could direct play x265 to devices that supported HEVC. I agree with you that if your devices support HEVC, go for that.

[-] 8_Some_Chicken_Shit | 1 points
Use handbrake and convert it to 720p x264. Depending on how fast or slow you want the conversion to take place depends on the quality you want and each of the sliders explain it well. X264 runs better on devices. I wouldnt recommend 1080p x264 as the file might go past 4gb and you know how phones are with fat32 storage.

Sounds like a hit or miss, you can ask the seller how many users are sharing the same account/transfer quota per account. Keep on mind that biggest plan is 16TB monthly quota so the seller obviously has access to more than one account and also he must be able to make a profit somehow.
Been using IGG Games for a while and as of late they've switched from mega to megaup. Anyone know if it's a valid alternative?
PS - It's megaup(dot)net if you want to do a quick google search
Edit: Looks like they haven't stopped using mega, just added in megaup as an alterative. Couple of the games don't have mega listed as an option so just assumed they switched over
How do i get the links from here? Sorry for asking, but a lot of stuff uploaded here cant be downloaded by mega, it always stops midway and ask for an account that it also does not let you download even a whole file, any chance of getting some of the files from here in torrent or something like that?

I was thinking about adding some more features on the megalinks site.
I would like some feedback on one of them. What about a way to generate automatic mirror links?
The user submits a public mega link and then that folder or file is imported to an account and exported to get another public link which is returned to the user.
And the account where the link is exported will be one of the accounts they have generated on the site.
I would like to know if people would use it. Because I can't think of any other reason to make a mirror link other than to post it on site or somewhere else.
Also what other features would you like to see?
I really hate that Snahp.it's Link Protector has added ads recently. Boo.
Sorry, but they're the least worst option possible. You're free to use an ad-blocker if they seem too intrusive.
At the time when they became a preferred link obfuscator they had no ads. Now they have added them to take advantage of the mega traffic. They obtained their status by being ad free. Maybe we need another ad free solution.

Opinion: [FLAC] should be [MUSIC]
You wouldn't list movies as [MKV] The Dark Night
Also, [GAME/PC] should be [GAME] and list PC in the name/description, etc
This makes filtering and searching much easier.
