You are not the only one. I am having problems getting anything from Mega. Usually gets to 4% then gives temporary error. Sometimes if you let it sit, it will resume, pause again with "temp error" and eventually get the file, but it takes ALL DAY for a small file.

I tried different browsers, IP's, all the same. I read that Jdownloader might help, but they are having problems and their download page is dead lol. I guess someone forgot to pay their hosting bill.

UPDATE:
Still not sure what is going on, but I checked my bandwidth and there was a LOT coming down (like almost maxing my connection) but I wasn't doing anything else at the time. Yet the progress wasn't moving for the Mega download. On a hunch I closed everything but chrome (someone said in another forum it worked better with Mega and I use firefox most of the time) and the one tab with the download and it worked! It still hung up a bit but hey it finished in a few minutes instead of all day.

No idea what is going on but apparently if you have any other browsers and/or pages open it screws things up. It didn't use to, so I am guessing it is something new Mega is doing on their end. Another one of those "it shouldn't help but it did" moments.

Update 2:
Ok now I didn't have any problems with 2 more downloads using firefox. They weren't as big as the other I was having problems with, but still it shoulnd't be freezing like it was. Werid
