I love this sub. Thanks guys. Thank you. I go to the boarding school, and you see most torrenting websites are blocked by the school or Telecommunications of India. I didn't want to rely on streaming, because lag(especially because my friend is in the dark corner of dorms...where the wifi is really weak). Another problem is that my older brother spoiled me, when we watch stuff together by stuff in good qaulity...seriously I remember one time we watched Iron Man 3 in really really good quality, that we would pause, and just look at the details in the snow... thanks guys. Thank you. I love you all.

Does anyone have the link to the site that auto uploads to mirror sites?

I can't recall what it was. But it's a website that allows you to log into your other accounts poke Mega, Zippyshare, etc and only upload the file once. Then it would auto upload to whatever other accounts you were logged into.

Multiupload i think

[-] ThisAintMyFirstRodeo | 3 points | Dec 05 2017 00:59:19

I tested the following sites and they seem to do what I wanted.

http://multimirrorupload.com/
http://www.uploadmagnet.com/
http://www.mirrorcreator.com/

Someone DM me about File & Image Uploader, but haven't tried it. I'll upload some things tomorrow and see how that works out.

File & Image Uploader

Don't bother with Z-O-O-M. I used to use it but was told by /u/douhaveanygreypoupon about it being a scamming tool and I have moved away ever since. I'd suggest you do the same too.

your best bet would be torrents or other ddl sites that split them into chunks. I just dont see that type of material getting posted here frequently, aside from the odd ppv that vcdupper posts

IDK where else to turn and ask this (on Reddit), so I'll try asking it here in hopes there's a computer expert out there lol. Is this a decent laptop?

https://www.samsclub.com/sams/acer-sp315-51-757c-i7-7500u/prod21372884.ip?xid=plp1117-elec:product:1:3

This Saturday (9th) it'll go on sale from $799 to $599. And I desperately need a new laptop (current one is from 2011 and it's got no battery and the screen wires are fried). Does this seem safe for a mild user? Literally only use to watch movies on VLC, download movies (from here), Chrome, Microsoft Office, Spotify. That's about all I do.

Like is Acer a decent brand?

Might be a bad place to ask on Reddit, but I thought I'd try.

Thanks gusy

[-] Dakloth | 3 points | Dec 08 2017 19:35:01

For 599$ thats a pretty good laptop and will do much more than what you need it for.. Brands like Acer or Dell dont really matter as much anymore as much as whats inside or a particular model. in the future you might ask questions like this in r/buildapc.

permalink

[-] simplefilmreviews | 2 points | Dec 08 2017 19:39:43

Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it! I'll probably pull the trigger on it. Yeah I wasn't sure if simply 'building a brand' was as important now as it was years ago.

Thanks again!

permalink

[-] Dakloth | 3 points | Dec 08 2017 19:48:15

oh, and if you want to compare that laptop to other laptops on sale check out r/buildapcsales. Its a great subreddit. I highly doubt you'll find as good of a deal for 599$ though. The specs on that laptop are great.. The only problem I see is the graphics card isnt amazing (but you arent doing intensive gaming), the HD is 5400rpm instead of SSD (which will slow it down a little, but if the rig you are using is from 2011 it'll be lightning fast comparatively), and its touch screen (just personal preference). If you purchase it the first thing i recommend is getting rid of the bloatware like mcaffee and getting a better antivirus like avira.

permalink

[-] simplefilmreviews | 1 points | Dec 08 2017 19:54:19

That's what I was curious about, that hard drive thing. Is that 5400rpm vs SSD a big deal?! I don't really know the differences, but I do have an external harddrive for movie files from megalinks. But obviously keep some on the computer itself.

Yeah I definitely need to get rid of bloat like mcaffee! Woof lol

permalink

[-] Dakloth | 2 points | Dec 08 2017 20:03:30

The 5400rpm vs SSD is probably not a big deal for the type of stuff you are doing. SSD will save some power and be much faster especially when it comes to boot time. When I upgraded my machine to SSD i was amazed at the 20 second boot times. I would say that the SSD is probably twice as fast as the 5400rpm when it comes to that.. That being said i only really look at specs when i upgrade and could be wrong so if its a concern for you i would do some research. The bottomline is that it wouldnt be a deal breaker for me buying that laptop and you can always upgrade to a SSD if you want to do so.

permalink

[-] simplefilmreviews | 1 points | Dec 08 2017 22:43:03

Oh okay, boot time isn't a huge concern for me. I was just curious what the differences were. Only reason I'm buying from Sam's Club is they have great return policy and are very polite. So if something is wrong, I'd be easy to get a refund.

I'm probably gonna go with it. Seems more than capable of my average joe needs lol!

Thanks again!

HI guys. Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, I couldn't find what I need...

I have downloaded the megadownloader v1.7 from the side bar but I can't add a link to download. Could someone let me know how I can get files downloaded? I'm trying to DL Dunkirk!

[-] myothernameisbob | 1 points | Dec 04 2017 07:34:04

Total noob here. I was able to download a single video file via browser with no issues, but when I looked at getting an offline backup for a show being removed from Netflix I can browse the folders and see the files, but not download them:

https://www.reddit.com/r/megalinks/comments/61p58o/tv_bobs_burgers_seasons_17_1080p/

I get a message saying Firefox doesn't work for some reason and to use the desktop client. Anything I should know about that before I start installing things? Should I be using a VPN for this? (I know I should use a VPN anyway, just haven't gotten around to it...)

Use jdownloader2 for files over 1 gig

Get the installer without toolbars

permalink

[-] prrg | 2 points | Dec 05 2017 20:08:56

MEGA is bullshitty if you don't have a premium account, also even if you do you should think about getting a download manager (JDownloader is the best but it's pretty heavy) since it'll allow you to worry less with disconnects and general slowness.

permalink

[-] myothernameisbob | 1 points | Dec 07 2017 17:43:59

Using JDownloader2 now, seems to work well. I get bandwidth limit exceeded messages after 5GB and it stops for 5 hours (I think) then resumes. The workarounds I found didn't work, but I can live with just queuing stuff and having it finish eventually, I don't need any of this stuff that urgently.

[-] horrayimuseful | 3 points | Dec 05 2017 12:21:43

that has been there for a while at least 6 months, you used to be able to get around it using the mega down loader manager but they fixed it. I have had great success with jdownloader never seems to restrict me.

Yes, because that particular link is password protected (not captcha protected). Generally the password is mentioned in the post which sent you to that link. The password for this particular URL is - megalinks

No worries. You'll notice it says "Password Protected Link(s)" just above the password form on that page. When you need to enter a captcha, you'll see "Captcha Check" and asked to enter the "Security Code".

[-] sirin3 | 3 points | Dec 05 2017 13:49:52

Perhaps they do not want a captcha, but a password? Password is usually "megalinks"

Why are some movies like a 10gb download?

permalink

[-] prrg | 3 points | Dec 05 2017 20:12:27

Most uncompressed movies are about 30-50gb (blu-ray quality), from there they're compressed into the smaller filesizes you see. The bigger the file, the higher the quality is, some are even lossless while still getting a big quality drop compared to the blu-ray.

If you don't really notice the difference you shouldn't worry too much. Specially if the screen you're watching the movie in is relatively small (like, 32" for ex)

permalink

[-] exhippy | 2 points | Dec 05 2017 17:22:14

Because they are much better quality at that size.I like my movies at 7-10g,so it is all good by me.I don't want grainy overly compressed rubbish on my 50" tv.The people who make these movies go to a lot of expense & trouble to make them.We can at least watch them in quality that does them justice.

permalink

[-] Dman2244 | -1 points | Dec 05 2017 17:28:13

How can one file be 3gbs and 1080p and the other be 10gbs and 1080p? I have always download the 3gb files because I thought that was how big movies were before I found this sub and I have never noticed them to be grainy.

permalink

[-] exhippy | 1 points | Dec 05 2017 17:35:46

Blue ray movies are 25-40g mostly,so they are all compressed from there.Try downloading a bigger movie & see what you think.It is usually in the dark scenes that the extra bitrate helps most.

permalink

[-] LinealFury | 1 points | Dec 05 2017 17:25:40

Higher bitrate, longer movies etc

do i need to have space in my hard drive if i stream using mega downloader ? lets say the movie file is 20gb and my hard disk free space is 15gb. can i still stream the movie and fisnish watching without having to delete 5gb worth of data from my HDD ?

I have a question, if i download a movie from zippyshare will i have multiple vid files of 1 movie? Can i somehow stitch them together for convenience? Like 4 short clips of the movie to 1 movie(1file). Thanks

permalink

[-] hawkeyes_21 | 1 points | Dec 10 2017 05:03:53

You will get multiple "zip" files on zippy. You need to download all of them, and extract only the first one.. After that, you'll get a single video file.

permalink

[-] Rodneyaaa | 1 points | Dec 10 2017 05:09:50

Oh i see, I tried downloading the first 3 parts cause i wanted to see how it would look, so i already extracted the file. Will that destroy how the files are supposed to be zipped? Am actually downloading a series, it has 26 parts and blindly download the 1st 3 parts to teat it out

permalink

[-] hawkeyes_21 | 1 points | Dec 10 2017 05:19:33

No, it will not destroy anything. Download all the remaining files and then extract the first one. Make sure all the 26 parts are in same folder when you extract. You can download the sample video (if there is one) to check the video quality.
