Please make it obligatory to add information about the filesizes, either in the Title or in the Description.
As a Free users at Mega.nz for instance I cannot download files larger than 5GB/day.
Even the 5GB download limit only works with over 5 hours download interruption.
This is a problem.Thanks for your time
@Hodor
And anyone else affected.I exclusively use Mega [where possible] for DLs.
I found that a VPN can help with this problem.
If you have a DL that is over the daily limit, change the VPN address then refresh the Mega page [do not close Mega]. in most cases, after the refresh, you will be asked if you wish to resume the DL.
Daily limit and long wait solved.Experiment a little to be sure of best method [I use Nord VPN]
You can download the MegaSync, and copy the url. It works faster than normal download. If you reach the quota of 5Gb per day, disconnect (off) the router for a minute and plug it back in (On). This changes the IP, normally assigned by variable. With Megasync, you can continue the download, which with normal download, you can't. (it's a matter of about two minutes, maybe...)
I have an Internet connection with 300MB/pair, although I get about 150/180Mb through Wi-Fi, which is plenty... If I put it on an Ethernet cable, I do reach that speed, but I have the router a little farther away. You don't need a free VPN, which is disastrous, or a paid one. (Another thing would be to connect via the Tor network, but it's slower...)
(If in normal download connection for Mega from the browser it reaches about 8/9Mb per second, with Megasync I reach 20Mb or more...)Rank:
That's what I do as well. I use a vpn and it let's me download more. Sometimes the speed varies, it can become really slow at times.
oh! And don't forget to change your DNS!!! This little program, which I use, works quite well. Normally, your ISP assigns you their own DNS, but Cloudflare's works better than Google server.-in my case...-
https://www.sordum.org/7952/dns-jumper-v2-2/Guys, thanks for your helpful replies. I am aware of workarounds for download limitations.
Alas, this is not what i was asking for 🙂It would be nice to know the File Size BEFORE unlocking the download link.
Sometimes not even the product HP reveals how big the files are.Knowing the size upfront can help me, and perhaps others too, to estimate how long it'll take to download or when to start it in the first place and prevent lag during Video Calls/streaming for instance.
Well, it's just a request and suggestion to add this little info to the description. that's all. Thank you 🙂
Not a bad idea @Hodor to show the file/s size on the blog. Some stuff I wouldn't even download if it's in a bundle and I want only one part of it.
I'm not sure of the mechanics of how Mega works but there's a way to split bundles on Mega into separate parts of the bundle. I've seen this before and greatly appreciate it when people do that when I'm only after the clothing or character or whatever.
If a DL is big and I don't want it interfering with my internet speed at a particular time, I just bookmark the URL and download it later.I agree, we ought to get in the habit of mentioning file size. We're sooooo bad! 🙂
Also, very large files should be split into volumes, typical is about 500MB max.
Simply load them all into a folder and share the folder, instead of multi-links.I too use MegaSync though more for convenience as I do have a Pro lite sub but only get it when I've been away for a while and am scrambling to catch up. Paying $5.25 or so every so often, in my opinion, for 1TB of transfer is worth the price of downloading potentially a few hundred worth of product. I admit what I keep is very little after testing and doing some test renders to toss what just isn't doing it for me then actually buy what I use a lot of. Just my random thought on this.
I will, however, start including file sizes in the info of my uploads. If there were a way to edit my upload info I would add the sizes to my current ones.
