Today I tried to download 3 items from Mediafire, and with all 3 i got an "Unable to connect" error. 2 were with Firefox and 1 with Chrome. I was able to download 1 eventually.
Hi,
VPN or not, I find them incredibly slow - sub 100k, most of the time.
Also had ones that drop out at 80% or so, especially large files.
Really helpful after already waiting over an hour, and wasting data usage.
Just wish everyone would stick to Mega.
I've never had an issue with Mediafire, except the odd blocked upload which a rename usually fixes. I've had a (free) Mega account taken away from me though which was really damn annoying and one of the reasons I don't use Mega for everything.
If you have an issue with downloads timing out I would suggest getting a download manager so that your downloads can be resumed and you don't waste your "data" if you have a cap.
I really believe in Mega. To me it seems faster with no ads.
I pay about $12 / month for 1 TB on Mega. Do I need it? No. I started it when I made a higher wage. The excuse was that I may... some day... in the future... before I die... need it for the graphic novel I am creating. Well... I have about 3/4 of one chapter done... so it might be some day needed - at least I hope! 🙂
