Do you use MEGA?

How the fuck can they have a sustainable business with 50GB free?

I'm pretty sure they get money from their government.

It's 15GB, anything extra is just temporary bait-and-switch and it has some horrible daily transfer limits.

hint: they glow in the dark

>been with mediafire since 2013
>they've given me 52GB of free data over the years just for being a long term user

Definitely is 50GB; I have two accounts on it and dump random shit there.

I would use Mediafire, but non-premium users can't do folder downloads. As a hoarder, folder downloads are very important.

My account is 15GB, what the fuck is this bullshit?

Juuuust checked my two accounts. Both have 50 GB. Did they change the max quietly?

What does it say in the settings/achievements?
Mine is 15GB base + 20GB, which is the temporary bonus for installing the desktop program.

If it's free and it costs them, you are the product.

When free SOFTWARE is both libre and gratis then it's alright since it isn't putting any strain on THEIR servers, systems, etc.
Once you get the copy, it's your problem.
But with free SERVICES like search engines, data hosting, cloud storage, etc, it's your info that's being sold for a good profit.

I have absolutely no idea what you're saying. MEGA has achievements?

Help page says 50 GB.

Storage is cheap

>have 6 mega accounts
>Need at least 7 more to be even 1/3 of the way done with upload mirroring
>Bandwidth caps they put in place make downloading a bitch
>Folder downloads with megadownloader gets fucked because they all go into 1 folder for some reason
It's a message but that 50gb free is just too juicy

because you have to pay them to download all that

This

>non-premium users can't do folder downloads
Why don't you just upload everything archived? Using it as file storage or using it for downloading stuff is really different.

i completely forgot about media fire top kek just logged in i have 52gb also a video of a fight there from when i was in school

So? How is that a bad thing for the user, other than having the label of 'product'?

Because sometimes I like to selectively download things as well without doing it in 1 GB chunks.

Is it a rule to start a thread with an technology, frog or anime pics?

what did he mean by this

Same here. Looks like I also 50 GB and I registered on March 2009. I guess I might as well upload some shit to back up.

Cory in the house is an anime.
Headphone threads always starts with anime.
Shitpost starts with frogs.

mine is 50GB as well, but my account is like 3 or 4 years old. might have been a perk for people who signed up prior

>web company
>sustainable
>2018

pick two

it's all about selling stock and it's going to burst as soon as one of the big ones goes bust

You're now remember rapidshare

No, I have 50 GB and I registered since 2009. I think you can earn extra storage.

Fuck that shit.

Would anyone sell their souls for an extra 1 GB?

I have a throwaway Twitter and Facebook account made with cock.li emails just for things like this.

if I recall correctly kim dotcom himself said mega was compromised since he left

This.
NuMega isnt the same as old mega. I dont trust that shit for a second.
I especially dont trust it when they do kikery like "hurr you have to download our browser addon if you want to download these files"

That one is for mediafire.

I was responding to the comment, didnt look at the picture sorry baka

MEGA doesn't force you to use the addon to download things. Even so, the addon is open source.

but does he have any proof? why would you trust him unconditionally?

it was his company and he left for some reason, it's a cloud computing solution that offers `free' service ..I would believe it enough that I won't actually use my service to store anything, unconditionally however not so much

Can you host your own torrented mp3s and movies on your Mega (eg for transfer only to a few friends) or do they do some sort of file scanning to prevent that know kind of thing? How private is it, basically. ?

yes, and people do regularly. privacy is in your hands, but if you choose to share it ends up places like

megasearch.co

Read their FAQ and privacy policy. The data is encrypted, so they can't see what you're storing.

However, if you give out a full link (folder + decryption key), they theoretically are able to look at it.

WTF


You must maintain copies of all data stored by you on our services. We do not make any guarantees that there will be no loss of data or the services will be bug free. You should download all data prior to termination of services.


8 Our service may automatically (without us viewing the file content) delete a file you upload or give someone else access to where it determines that that file is an exact duplicate of the original file already on our service (a process usually referred to as deduplication). In that case, the original file will be accessed by you and any other user and that file will be retained for so long as any user has a right to access it under these terms.

>exact duplicate

>reee they don't waste storage space storing 15,000 separate copies of the exact same porno

Is that a good anime?

this doesnt work in theory with their own business practice. they provide end-to-end encryption on a per-file per-session basis, would the md5 not be different on each file uploaded or do they not actually ~~encrypt~~

This

End-to-end would imply it's encrypted as you send it to them and dencrypted as you receive it. It's easy enough to check if that's happening, since it's a process that, by definition, is happening on your own PC.

how would they dupecheck if it is, though? the hashes would be different for each file.

They stopped offering it.

So their help page is out of date? See pic related from my previous post.

>5GB daily download limit

There it is.

For files >1G they force you to use their shitty addon that isnt even available in the firefox addons page. You have to get it from them.
Also I have yet to see a link to the source for it.

github.com/meganz
github.com/meganz/firefox-web-extension

it's 50gb free for old accounts, created before they changed it
i tried creating a new account and it's 15gb + some temporary bonuses

Thats it?
They make you go out of your way to install some toolbar just to download some shit only to do some small petty bullshit?
I didnt read it, but it looks like it only does some petty url swaping that could have just been made into the website in the first place.

Ah, that sucks. I technically have 5 accounts but two are shared with others and I forgot the password to the third.

So now it's 15GB it's on the same storage tier as most other things like GDrive. Are there any other free services with good-enough privacy with large storage?

Not always true, e.g., pirate groups.

Not so fast.

Admittedly I'm not a coder; just interested in tech stuff. There's also this one, though:
github.com/meganz/firefox-extension

that filename reminded me of Kimoa, Kimmo Alm. tfw no anontalk spam on boards anymore

Don't know but it's my porn backup

Its been about a decade since I coded anything, and Im sitting way to far away and my eyes are way to bad to read shit that far away, but I just skimmed though it and it looks fucking retarded.
Ive seen more elegant download solutions in botched together literal botnets.
at one point it references a hardcoded 217 character key.
I have downloaded a lot of shit in my life, and a good portion of it was files larger than 1gb. I use to regularly download 8gb files from the OLD mega, and not once was there an issue downloading any of it without a toolbar.

The only thing I can think of is it might be able to save the download progress in case something happens to interrupt the download, but I could have sworn this feature was already built into most modern browsers

Available in a Linux repository near you.

>aur

I got an account right before Kim "left" the company.
I use all 50GB for backups of my weeb content like game saves, novels, and other niche shit.

OG accounts got to keep the 50GB. I agree about the shitty transfer limits.

>My account is 15GB, w
You might as well make multiple Google drive accounts which are faster. Googlebotnet versus Chinabotnet.
