Mega forcing us to buy their Plans

What a scummy tactic lmao

 

They've also been reducing their download limits for free users. That's why I've been archiving all my mega uploads at 3 GB max lately (>5 GB is what was previously triggering it) - to make sure that a free user can download a full file and then be able to switch IP address with a VPN before Mega blocks them for 24 hours.

 

The hosting issue is sorta the Achilles heel of this forum . . . multiple accounts and other strategies are ongoing but the dated / expired hosting links present [temporary] obstacles at times. This does allow "newer" opportunities for those providing mirrors to gain traction within the forum and therefore alleviate constant surveillance of ones' prior OP - but it's a chore - for sure.

Thanks for pointing out the overflow limit - so one must be careful so as not to exceed it or brick their entire "free" account - which can potentially contain a shit-load of small files (shares) . . . yeah it's shitty - but it's also free; hence, "nothing is free" . . .

Also was not aware of the 3GB throughput session-limit - - -

These are all tidbits of info that need to be heeded; especially by new(er) users so as to mitigate frustration . . .
