Now there are download limits as a free user on MEGA....

I blame the Chinese.

How much ?

100%, because the Chinese wrestled the site away from Kim Schmitz.

"Predictable" is what I describe this.

Like, I'm surprised they did it this late.

Oh well.

Also, if the Chinese are really responsible for this, wouldn't they have just shut the site down?

Also, if the Chinese are really responsible for this, wouldn't they have just shut the site down?

What are you talking about?
A Chinese investor legally yanked the site away from Schmitz.
It's not a hack or something.

So how much is the Limit ?

Long time I got download limit, 5GB each 6 hours!

My IP has been filtered I think, normal I download some day more than 50GB from MEGA and the upload is not bad too lol.

Does the OP got a link to this news?

So how much is the Limit ?

990MB every six hours according to the fine print on this screencap. That's bullshit though, I think it's a dynamic number based on what you've actually downloaded.
I too believe its capped at 5GB every six hours.

I was able to download a 2 GB file the other day.

Same. Yesterday Actually.

I Just Tried It Again, And It Seems Fine.

I have that since 2 months , so when I download the great hi res stuff from Bob, I do that on serval days :-/

fortunately, the upload is not limite...for the moment!

And with guys like me who are using up to 10 50GB account full filled, I can't imagine their datacenter!

Saw that once, couple months back, think it happened when i tried to grab some huge File...

Either way i am not scared, File Hosts come and go, that's how these Things work, if anything,
we've grown fat and complacent during the MEGA Reign.

Indeed. Mega has spoiled us immensely!

Does the OP got a link to this news?

No,

Normall, My jdownloader always started downloading on Mega, but I noticed suddenly the download ddid not start and i tried to download through the browser and a 350 mb stopped at 90% because of the limit.

Mega became so popular, trying others free hosters Mediafire, it seems good,Saxofoniar the files last longer

Imagine one guy, several days, one week, one month aways from the Shrine and then logs in, and there's a lot of new stuff, ow will have to wait several days to download, it pisses me off

I can't imagine their datacenter!

somebody is paying that,,,, the chinese???!!!! :)

That "imaginary guy" is illegally downloading digital copies of stuff he's supposed to pay for, in most cases... Therefore, he should stay calm/shut the fuck up, count his blessings stuff is online and take whatever amount of time it takes to download. Not happy? Prices for the PRO account are similar to those of other file-hosting websites (or even lower), either pay for those or the damn product, problem solved in any case.

I would pay for a pro account but I will be not anonymous anymore by using my credit card :-/

You're not anonymous right now, dumbass.
If someone had some time to kill, he could spend it looking up your IP, your MAC address, and more.

:D

Well Said Sir.

Right but my public IP is dynamic , change each 24h, I am using proxy and my provider will never give the name of the user behind this IP, so it's more anonymous than my name on my credit card dumbass!

Btw, MEGA is the best hoster but for how long ?

Aha, i see, this is some Top Secret Mission Impossible Shit right here

No but turning pro with MEGA and have to give our credit card is not compatible with our activity, that's the problem so we have to continue with the rule of the free account who is already great I think, MEGA is generous.

it's better using tor and/or a self destruct PC

Don't you think Leon that, the problem is not who downloads but the "middle men" and the uploaders/hosters. Pirate Bay/Demoniac/CG/What cd/Shrine/ bakbt, russians, asians......., they all are "middle men", hosters like Megaupload/hot file, rapidshare.... just to name a few. They all allow to upload/share the link and also download it. This is illegally.....

And who downloads is supposed to listen to listen/keep archive till 24 hours after nd then buying the original. Of course, a very very very little percentage of users does that, but mostly don't. People download illegally stuff because they don't have money to buy.....If someone buys cds like the way someone downloads it, at the end of the month there was no salary to buy food, clothes, pay the rent, electricity,,, etc


but the Shrine is a sharing community and 80 percent doesn't share or even say thanks.....of course and there's someone who shares a very very very little

a self destruct PC

Lol
It's fucking music, not political espionage.
You guys need to get out more.

Sigh. There's a problem "at the source" with what we do, blackie and since I'm a bit tired now, I'll try to explain myself with an example:

- I actually own the soundtrack to a movie/video game/anime/etcetera.
- I go and create a digital encode of it.
- Technically speaking, at least with the laws in effect where I live, I'm not allowed to pack that encode and upload it anywhere, it doesn't matter whether I share it or not, I'm doing something illegal by uploading a digital copy onto a server. Copyrighted material.

That 24 hours thing? Bullshit, pretty much. They could screw over both the uploader and the downloader, if they care to do that and in case I've explained myself poorly, the uploader doesn't even have to share anything: you uploaded a TEKKEN soundtrack you just purchased? NAMCO, or BANDAI NAMCO could legally rape your ass, you most likely haven't been authorized by them to replicate and redistribute the copyrighted data stored on the CD(s).


I can't believe I once again get the sob-story that there wouldn't be money for food, etcetera, please, save that for someone else. Sidestepping the notion I find rather pitiful that one seemingly puts food and music on the same "level" (they aren't). I've been younger, too, without a job, nor the weekly 5€ from parents and other family members. I either paid for what I really wanted, or when I had to wait 15 minutes between each download of multiple 100 MB archives hosted on rapidshare.de and rapidshare.com years ago, I. Waited.

Users who are annoyed about file-hosting websites directly (or indirectly) deploying systems/limitations which dampen the usefulness of those service(s) for piracy-related activities need to grow up (mentally) and either live/deal with it. We are pirates, we often don't get to have luxuries.

EDIT:

And, lorddsp, your IP address may be dynamic, but if they want to know who you are, they do, child's play, I wouldn't have much faith in the ISP, if I were you. One of the safest ways one has to keep sensible information private is not be "on the Internet", there are those among us shriners which have (+had) Premium/PRO accounts on the likes of MediaFire, MEGA, RapidShare, FileServe... the accounts lasted for decent amounts of time and, at worst, they got deleted and things stopped there.

I've downloaded over 400GB from Mega this month without an account and never hit the limit.

I don't download too much stuff from MEGA and can barely reach the supposed daily limit with my poor connection, so i don't really have problem with that. Thought the upload limit could be problematic if there was one

I've downloaded over 400GB from Mega this month without an account and never hit the limit.

You have to download more and during a long time, after you will be filtered by MEGA ;-)

I don't know if it's regarding too the mass uploading, and when you give link, it's download from your account so...

But as already said, MEGA is very generous with the free account.

it's better using tor and/or a self destruct PC[

I'm not even going to start about the PC... Tor has one weakness: correlation attacks. You can find someone's IP from Tor by monitoring the start and exit nodes and doing DNS lookups after you've filtered the bogus rerouted traffic. You probably wouldn't understand jack shit (Leon Scott Kennedy probably will), but it's all explained here (https://nymity.ch/tor-dns/tor-dns.pdf). It's a fairly new development but it's not as if Tor was safe before that. If you simply Google "Tor FBI" you'll already find scores of articles that detail the Feds having full access to Tor, if they want to. It's just a matter of knowledge and resources.

Funny enough, after I uploaded Fernando Velazquez' Zipi y Zape scores, pretty much all my links have been deleted/down now, with the exception of five things.

I've never had a Single one of my Links deleted.

I don't mind. Due to small commitment, I might re-share my links in another account with different names.

I will do it a second, maybe a third time, but not a fourth.

My MEGA Is Discontinued.
If I Ever Upload Anything I Will Via Sendspace, Once The Link Expires Someone Else Can Re-Up Or It Stays Dead.

I've never had a Single one of my Links deleted.

The same and I have 10x50GB almost full filled ;-)

I use the exact name of the album.

You've probably just been lucky, sometime or another you're gonna have to get blocked too.

Maybe but since 8 months I got no issue.

Btw, it's just a cloud, not a backup so if they delete all, I can reup by req, but now I store about 500GB on MEGA.

Eh, Uploading isn't a Competition.

I up only on request and I have a lot.

:this:

I think you're my new favourite shriner.

-

It's only music lossless, I have about 4TB so 500GB it's just 1/8 of my collection.

And some guys have more and more and more, but I ve just started my collection.

Dave, you talked like it seems that easy.... by now feds alredy had terminated with all criminal activity that goes around on tor, downloading is nothing compared with others criminal activities.

like you said, Feds know the source, all they need is an provocateur agent...

Or this site is run by the FBI to entrap unsuspecting users.

Lol, just I had not thought about that, but with my smartphone I have 4G and unlimited data, so when I have downloaded the 5GB with my regular connection, I switch on my smartphone and another 5GB etc !

Ok with my regular connection I download at 12MB / S and with the 4G at 2MB/ S but it is pretty cool isnt'it.

I already have a 4G with my Ipad, I can do the same and hop, 5GB more!

lord, your russian suppliers have a lot!!! be careful of the feds :D,

WWIII is near by

Ahh, my actual huge downloading session is not from the east but from the west and in my country there is no rule about download, it's not the france and I should full fill my new 4TB HDD lol

Yes WWIII is coming soon I m pretty sure :-/

Since we're on the subject of MEGA, I just logged into my account and found that all of my files that I've shared have had a takedown notice. Has anyone else had this?

Downloading is nothing? If Watertower Music goes to the Feds because they're fed up, I'm sure the Feds will listen.

To stop downloading, they should stop internet ;-)

Internet can be stopped, internet is everywhere, that's remembrer me a movie not you lol

yes,, just unplugged it!!!
