What exactly is the download limit for free users?.It just seems to work/not work randomly for me...
3 "automated" downloads per hour (after that, you have to type the captcha and wait 45 seconds until the next hour), and only one file at a time.
iirc they only had a limited amount of free download slots too... so in theory, even if you met all anon's criteria but there were no slots available you couldn't download... it's been years since I used MU as a free user though
They have thankfully removed that, or so it appears. I haven't got the "all free slots for your country are used up" message for a long time. You could bypass that if you edited your User-Agent to make it look like the MU toolbar is installed, by the way.
That's good to know... I very rarely use MU though. I usually get everything I'm after from one torrent site or another, but for a backup I have an RS premium account... 15 Euro every 3 months is hardly a bank breaker. My sister uses it more than I do :lol:
I was thinking in terms of Gb per day/hour or whatever......cause sometimes I get a message along the lines of "you have to wait x minutes before you can download again".
RS is bad for backup cuz they will delete inactive filesQuote:

I don't upload anything via RS though so that's not really of any great concern... and there's always a warez site somewhere that will have what you're looking for... as long as it's not too obscure :)Quote:

There is a script on userscript that runs on greasemonkey called "megaupload catcha auto fill ++" or something that overruns that bullcrap.
Yes, that one uses the mgr_dl.php trick.
Google skipscreen.
If you find that 15$ is cheap, you should look into MediaFire.com - Not only is is cheap, but you can share any size file with people without them having to wait for the download (For Pro Users). If you choose a free account, they have to wait very little time compared to RS, and the file size is still unlimited in size (up to 10 GB).
Mediafire's a blessing for free users. Simultaneous downloads at maximum speeds with near-zero waiting time, how cool is that?
I wasn`t know this. Thanks for info :01:Quote:

Same here. Works like a charm.Quote:

Um, is it just me or does it seem MU only lets you d/l about 1 or 2 files (in my case ~ 200-400MB) before the download limit expires? For the past few days my d/l limit has been expiring too soon like a premature ejaculation.... lol
As far as I know, if you're a free user, you're allowed three downloads per hour. Click on this to know how many you have left at the moment:
http://megaupload.com/mgr_bdr.php
your line's speed divided by 8 :)
Did I miss the memo or something? I vividly recall MU's limit being something variable from 2GB - 5GB (or, I dunno, 12-20 files?) til your period expired. Now it's down to 3???????!!! And speeds are c(r)apped now?
And, yes, obv am a free user...
^ BUMP. I'm using JDownloader to grab some MU files and notice speeds have been consistently capped at around 250KB/sec and I can't even finish a 200MB d/l before I get cut off for "exceeding" the download limit.... So, I ask again, did I miss the memo for MU changing their d/l policy to be worse than RapidSh!t?
as a former paid user of mediafire pro, they provide a very slow download service sorry but they really are garbage, the only good thing about them is http seeding through utorrent etc :naughty: but too blows when users can only reach 120kbit/sQuote:

Little note, I dont use megaupload very well but you can change your adress IP for not have limit of download.
If that's can help someone :P
i do that with rapidshare. restart modem when i want to have another download. waiting time really annoying.
i heard there are software to bypass waiting time, but i dont know what they are.
anyone know? can teach me?
Look for a reconnect script for your connection/router/modem.Quote:
