    MEGA the replacement for MEGAUPLOAD - not working well

    Im having all kinds of issues trying to save files to this cloud based system. Maybe its due to overwhelming demand and tons of users, but its been a total trainwreck for me. It keeps disconnecting and crashing. I have downloaded ZERO DARK 30 there 5 times and it hasnt saved it any of the times. Plus, the file is around 2.34GB, and it takes almost 2 hours to download it (with a pretty fast comcast connection).

    Not impressed at all. clusterfuckish.

    I just downloaded a pretty good 650 meg cam of Zero Dark Thirty that was hosted on billion uploads and it took less than 3 minutes

    That's ~32 MBits/second. Who's your ISP?

    Part of it will be the sorry arse connection between NZ and the rest of the world (assuming the servers are located in nz which I believe they are)
    Part of it will be the massive demand and interest in mega right now
    Part of it will be the alledged threat from Anonymous to take Mega and KDC down since he supposed testified against NinjaVideo
    Part of it will be peak US traffic if you are doing it now. Its mid afternoon friday nz time which shouldnt be too much of an additional factor.

    Of course if you using the free account version it wouldnt surprise me if there were further problems.

    Very very slight chance it could be something to do with file corruption/anti-virus software and the like, have you had success downloading smaller files?


    In before 408McMikey tells us how he was going to invent a crypto-locker right after he paid back Vegas that $50.

    sorry....

    I meant, I have tried to UPLOAD Zero Dark there (its on my laptop's HD). I have tried throughout the day.

    I tried to upload an album by Big Gigantic there an hour ago. It would upload the first track of the album (mp3) in about 12 seconds, but then froze on the 2nd track and wouldnt go further. It did this 4 times in a row.

    Well fuck:

    http://www.nbr.co.nz/opinion/mega-la...e-hosted-it-nz

    "For the first phase of Mega.co.nz, the new service is being hosted by servers in Dotcom's home country of Germany."

    Dotcom had been talking for awhile about funding the other cable project into NZ so he could host Mega here.

    I literally had to come out of retirement to congratulate Drk for starting a thread about his difficulties in harvesting pirated video from the most obvious FBI honeypot in the history of the internet.

    I got it from another source. I didnt "harvest" it from there.

    Thanks for the drive by.
