Mega Downloader
Alma Wass
MegaDownloader is a free cloud-based desktop application that lets you securely import and share files from your PC computer or laptop. The download manager uses end to end encryption to make sure that your shared and stored items are kept safe. The cross-platform app is available on Apple Mac, Linux, and Microsoft Windows PC systems.
All of the data that you save and send with MegaDownloader will be encrypted to make sure that spies cannot access your private information. The files are encrypted with cryptographic keys that you control. You will be the only person that can access the stored documents until you send the passcode to additional people. Even MEGA cannot get to the saved docs.
You are encouraged to create a strong password. If you forget your passcode, then you might lose the ability to access your files that are saved within the cloud storage because MEGA will not have the authority to unlock your content. MEGA recommends that you keep your key stored within a password management application: KeePassXC, LastPass, or 1Password.
MegaDownloader will prompt you to generate a recovery key to let you reset your password. The recovery code will let you create a new password to open your files. MEGA allows you to turn on a two-factor authentication code to further heighten the security of your account.
Mega Downloader receives third-party inspections from security personnel since the software is open source. You can get highly researched perspectives about how protected your confidential items are with MEGA. Additionally, the utility is free of adware, malware, and spyware. You will not be disturbed with advertisements within the user interface when you use this program.
You do not run the risk of having your content tracked by hackers since MegaDownloader does not have third party ads nor malicious files. The safety measures that the MEGA developers have against ransomware attacks make sure that you can reclaim files that have been infected.
Additional pieces of info will be listed: download speed, status, estimated time, etc. You can press the play, pause, or stop buttons during the import. If you want to add new links, then you can press the plus sign within the icon bar. You can right click on an item within the list to expand the context menu.
Free Download Manager, Internet Download Manager, JDownloader, and MiPony are comparable download managers that let you optimise and organise imports. All of the applications function as a video downloader to let you save games, music, videos, etc. The apps are offered for free aside from IDM.
Additionally, Dropbox and Google Drive are similar free cloud storage utilities that let you save and share documents. You do not need to have an associated account to receive items from the tools: Dropbox, Google Drive, and MegaDownloader. The security status is the highest with MegaDownloader since Dropbox and Google Drive do not use end-to-end encryption on files.
MegaDownloader is trustworthy since your information is kept completely secure. MEGA cannot read the content within your storage account. You can easily download files within the clean user interface. MegaDownloader can integrate into your web browser to improve the efficacy of your downloads. The program is lightweight yet powerful.
The developers make sure that MEGA is running optimally with regular software updates. You can download and install MegaDownloader on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7 operating systems.
, I'm using mega.nz to upload my personal files and before uploading any of them I scan with malwarebytes, the problem is when I come to download any of my files Malwarebytes Browser Guard block the file and tell me that there is a scam in the website.
@Envy14 There is nothing wrong with the site listed above, downloads from hosting sites are being flagged by Browser Guard as they are used for spreading malware. This blocking is part of the aggressive protection that Browser Guard provides.
I get this popup every time I try to download something over a certain amount of mb's. The weird thing is no one else seems to be having this problem and before I was downloading like a mad man for a while without any problems.
I've even tried VPN's to try and bypass the limit to no avail. And the little wait at the bottom doesn't seem to do anything either because I'll come back later and still get the same popup. Are you guys still able to download albums from mega.nz like before? Looking at the threads it seems everyone else is downloading just fine without any limits.
I get that sometimes. Which is why I try to download from mega only the stuff I can't find anywhere else. There used to be a way to bypass that with MegaDownloader but it doesn't work quite well right now, I think MEGA changed something.
Now I get this. So it seems to be downloading but it's going to make me wait 8 hours or so to resume it. But since I closed the link it'll probably just restart if I go back to it later. I'll wait and see.
I've never had to use MegaDownloader. I downloaded a lot from mega in the past. I think MEGA did change something. Now if only people would stop uploading with mega now but doesn't seem to be the case.
There's a limit, it gets better if you register but it's still not great. If you close the page, it'll restart so it's a pain the ass. My advice is wake up early as fuck and start the download then wait the necessary time until you can carry on again.

MEGA imposes download limits based on the location of an IP address, so the best way around the download limit is to change your IP address. We will show you two ways to do this. You can also check out our MEGA review to learn more about the service and features.
Using a VPN is the easiest way to get around the MEGA download limit. ExpressVPN ranks as our best all-around VPN service provider and is an excellent choice for getting around the transfer limits. We have a complete review of ExpressVPN if you need help deciding on the VPN.
Log in to your MEGA account and upload or download files as usual. The file size will impact your daily quota, so track your usage if you transfer large files. Notice how the transfer limit changes in the image as files are uploaded and downloaded.
A downloader uses IP addresses from a proxy list. There are several downloader options, and some are easier to use than others. If you are interested, we explain the differences between VPNs and proxies.
Fortunately, using a VPN or a dedicated downloader program that uses proxy details are two ways to get around the download limit imposed by MEGA. Using a VPN such as ExpressVPN is the quickest and easiest way to skirt the transfer limit.
Have you experienced issues with the MEGA daily download limit on a free account? Do you know of any other ways to bypass the transfer quota? Share your experiences in the comments section. Thanks for reading!
The transfer limit is not published for a free account, although you can monitor how much you download to know when you are approaching the transfer quota. The transfer limit on the cheapest paid plan is 1TB per month.
In other words, if a (free) Account Holder has shared his file(s) with multiple friends/family, is each shared user (using a different IP address with his/her different device) granted this his/her transfer limit ?
Hi Everybody,
Does anybody have a fix for the above problem with MEGA ? It's been going on for a week or two now intermittently but now I don't seem to download anything. Nothing works, re-starting, clearing browser cache, different browser, re-starting router...
Any other ideas ?

I have had problems downloading one specific file, it goes up to 7% and then gives me the "temporary error, retrying" message. I have tried several times and on different days but nothing. It has only happened with that one file though (and I haven't mentioned it to the admins yet because I thought maybe the problem was mine).
You are not the only one. I am having problems getting anything from Mega. Usually gets to 4% then gives temporary error. Sometimes if you let it sit, it will resume, pause again with "temp error" and eventually get the file, but it takes ALL DAY for a small file.
UPDATE:
Still not sure what is going on, but I checked my bandwidth and there was a LOT coming down (like almost maxing my connection) but I wasn't doing anything else at the time. Yet the progress wasn't moving for the Mega download. On a hunch I closed everything but chrome (someone said in another forum it worked better with Mega and I use firefox most of the time) and the one tab with the download and it worked! It still hung up a bit but hey it finished in a few minutes instead of all day.
No idea what is going on but apparently if you have any other browsers and/or pages open it screws things up. It didn't use to, so I am guessing it is something new Mega is doing on their end. Another one of those "it shouldn't help but it did" moments.
During the download process JS opens 5 connections to download 5 chunks of data 3.4MB each in parallel. If all chunks are downloaded successfully the process repeats. If one (or more) of the chunks was not downloaded completely during the timeout we see "Temporary Error, Retrying" and it starts all 5 chunks again (even good ones). There is no any resume on each chunk of the group. So that is the logic of mega.
