Let me start by saying that my internet is not very fast. Since I currently live in a village, I have to use the Megafon Modem. 3G network. My usual Internet speed is 100-200 kilobytes per second, and the fastest is 500-600 KB per second. And it constantly changes depending on the time of day and weather conditions. But still, even under such circumstances, I successfully managed to download a massive 12 GB file from the Mega file exchange. I’ll tell you about this later, and you will learn useful information for yourself on how to download huge files from mega.nz.
Initially, I downloaded small files from Mega using just a regular browser. By the way, in view of the fact that access to this file sharing service through some networks, especially through is closed, you need to look for additional ways to access it. Typically, file addresses begin with the line https://mega.co.nz. And if you can’t enter through them, then you just need to change the characters “mega.co.nz” to “eu.static.mega.co.nz”.
First way downloading a file from Mega.nz is to use a regular browser. It is recommended to use Google Chrome for a more successful download. If the file is huge in size, then it is advisable to initially clean the browser itself from any rubbish that accumulates in it and interferes with further work - this is the history of downloads, cookies, a log of visited sites. For these purposes, I use a free utility called CCleaner.
How is the process of downloading to Mega through a browser? At first, it is saved in the browser, and then when it is completely downloaded, it is automatically transferred to the computer. Most often in the Downloads folder. Well, or to another folder in which you installed.
Select the file you want to download and click "Download in zip". Or you can right click on the file. A window will appear in which you click on "Download", and then choose either a regular download or download in zip. I prefer to download files in archives like zip and others.
Initially, I downloaded one object - an 8 GB archive. Everything went well. The next day I started downloading a 12 GB file. He rocked me for about 22 hours. I messed around with him. The speed was not clear why very small. Then, when the file was already 90% downloaded, the download process was constantly interrupted, and it had to be constantly started. It was written in English something like that the download will continue after you free up space on the browser. It is possible that 12 GB for a browser was too much. Plus, the fact that I didn’t clear the browser before downloading also influenced. And as a result, 99% of the download on Mega was interrupted. I was disappointed as there was nothing I could do about it. Yes, and spent a lot of time and traffic. Therefore, I had to look for another, more successful method of downloading from Mega.
Second way how to download from Mega.nz file hosting is to use the Mipony program. She has many advantages. It is able to resume, does not create temporary files. I installed it from mipony.net. My antivirus in this file did not find any signs of an "evil" virus. And the mipony.net site seems to be official, at least it looks like one. True, along with this utility, a bunch of unnecessary programs were installed for me. I will get rid of them, since I do not need them, although they look harmless. And among them is the Amigo browser. How he bored me. I install it all the time with some programs. Apparently the developers software such a promotion scheme is to pay the owners of other programs so that their application is installed along with the installation of their file.
Then select the desired files or all. To start the download, click on the "Select Download" button below. All files after these steps start downloading.
The entire download process takes place in the "Download" section.
Don't forget to put the "Unlimited" speed in the lower right corner. I originally had 10 KB / s. This is very small and you will be downloading large files at this speed not just for weeks, but for months, if not years.
As a result of using Mipony, I was able to download a 12 GB file in about 8 hours. This process can take much less time for you. It all depends on the speed of the Internet you are using.
Good luck! I hope that the article on how to download from the Mega file sharing service was useful to you.
Mega.co- cloud storage, which offers its users 50 GB of storage space for free. Such an offer sounds tempting, doesn't it?
For many, such a significant addition to the hard drive will not hurt. All data placed in Mega.co cloud storage is stored in encrypted form.
After the largest file hosting service Megaupload was closed by the decision of the US authorities in 2012, its founder Kim Dotcom launched a new cloud service for storing files on the Internet.
The founder of Megaupload fled from the persecution of US law in New Zealand. Exactly one year after the closure of the popular file hosting service, which was used by more than 160 million users from all over the world, a new project was launched: Mega cloud file storage.
Over time, the MEGA service was bought by investors from China.
Mega storage features
The main difference between the cloud Storage Mega.co from similar resources is that at the moment, cloud storage offers registered users 50 GB of disk space for free to store their files. Mega co nz has no limits on the size of files uploaded to the storage.
The MEGA service name stands for "MEGA Encrypted Global Access" (MEGA Encrypted Global Access).
Cloud storage allows you to upload files to the server, store them there, and share files with other users. During the download process, the files are encrypted in the browser using the AES algorithm, which ensures their protection from unauthorized access.

The difference in using the service specifically in the Google Chrome browser is that, unlike other browsers, using Google Chrome, it will be possible to upload not only files, but also entire folders to Mega.co cloud storage.
This is what the storage control panel looks like in the Mozilla Firefox browser. On the panel there is a button "New download". Using the "New upload" button, files are uploaded to the cloud storage.

Otherwise, only the user who received the link to the file and a special security code will be able to download the encrypted file. Without a security code, it will be impossible to download a file from a link of this kind.
In this image, two items "File Link" and "File Key" are activated. In this case, when clicking on a link of this type, any user on the Internet who has access to this link will be able to download this file.
The user can save the file in their own Mega.co storage by clicking on the "Import" button. In this case, the file will be imported from one storage to another, without downloading the file to the computer. It will be possible to import files if the user has his own storage on the Mega.co service.

Article Conclusions
Mega co cloud storage allows you to store data with a total volume of 50 GB on its servers for free. Files are stored in the cloud storage in encrypted form, and most importantly, all this storage space is provided for free.
P.S. After that. Since MEGA was bought out by Chinese investors, the tariff policy has changed on the service, as a result, they no longer provide 50 GB disk space for free.
Mega Cloud Storage - Free 50GB Storage (Video)
Hello.
Some users forced me to write this article with their whining. More and more cool materials began to appear on the site, which are available for download using the Mega cloud storage. As time has shown, many users are unable to download the course. The question immediately arises “why do you need a course if you can’t even do the simplest action, how to download the material ?!”. If earlier these comments caused a smile and laughter, now it has become a little annoying and those who write such comments resemble a primitive sponge, as in the preview for this article. In the future (already in the very near future), voluminous cool materials are expected, which will be available for download through Mega. If you have problems downloading- read this article, since this issue will not be raised anymore and no one will break materials into hundreds of pieces and re-upload them to other storages for the sake of some users. Users who continue to whine will be sent to learn PC skills and will be temporarily isolated from society.
And so, let's see why Mega? Everything is very simple. For us, this is a convenient repository, where there are no restrictions on the amount of material to be uploaded, where there is a large amount of disk space and where complaints are loyal. Materials for users are available for free, so either learn to download or don't download at all. Let's assume that you have found the desired course and it is uploaded to Mega. First of all, make sure that the storage itself opens for you. If Mega is not available in your country (some providers block the storage), use a proxy or vpn to bypass the blocking. Now the easiest thing left is to download the material. There are 2 most simple ways downloads:
1 way. This method is suitable for downloading small files. To download large files, use the 2nd method. First way- this is to use the download through a regular browser. As practice has shown, it works best with Mega Google browser Chrome. Therefore, we advise you to use it. How is the download through the browser: First, the material is downloaded to the cache, then after it is completely downloaded, you can save it to any folder (if the folder selection is not configured, the material is saved to the downloads folder).
Click the "Download in browser" button and wait for the download to complete. You can't close the tab!
You can also use the software from Mega - MegaSync and synchronize files, but we did not try to download this method, although some users praise this particular method. Also, according to some users, for a successful download, files need to be imported to your cloud drive, but in general it is not necessary to do so. After downloading a large file through the browser, we recommend clearing the browser cache, for example, using the CCleaner utility.
2 way. Download using the Mipony program. Mipony program can be downloaded from the official website. We advise you to use this particular method, since the program is very convenient and has many advantages, for example, the software supports resuming files (like a torrent) and does not create temporary files, unlike downloading through a browser. Some antiviruses may swear at the program, but there is nothing wrong with that. The program does not steal anything and is not malicious. Paranoids can use the program on a virtual machine. Install the program (everything is very simple) and run. First of all, open the "Options" tab and make sure that the speed limit is not set there.
Mega(file hosting) - a secure cloud storage and file sharing service that provides from 15 GB of reliable storage for free. You can expand your cloud storage with a paid Pro account from 200 GB to 4 TB.

Your data is available anytime, from any device, anywhere. Add files, synchronize folders with the cloud and other devices, share data with trusted contacts - the update happens in real time. You can access files using a computer, smartphone or tablet, any browser.
Key Benefits of MEGASync
Security: Your data is encrypted from the place of dispatch to the place of delivery. No one will be able to intercept them during storage or movement.
Flexibility: Sync any folders on your computer, smartphone or tablet with cloud storage. Synchronize any number of folders at the same time.
Speed: Take advantage of MEGA's powerful infrastructure and the ability to send using multiple connections.
Generosity: Store up to 50 GB for free when using MEGA achievements.
The MEGASync client is available for Windows computers (Mac OS X and Linux support expected) and mobile devices based on iOS and Android.
Mega Cloud Storage is a modern virtual storage of information that stands out among similar containers with an increased amount of free disk space - as much as 50 GB. Access is supported from portable devices based on Blackberry, iOS, Android and Windows Mobile. The founders of the service are the developers of the previously known Megaupload file hosting service.
Opportunities:
- a virtual file container with a large amount of free space (50 GB);
- data encryption using the AES algorithm;
- support for mobile devices;
- availability of add-ons for Chrome and Firefox;
- interface in Russian.
Principle of operation:
after downloading and launching, the utility will prompt you to enter account information - you will not be able to use the service without registration. Then you should choose the type of synchronization - full (all information is transferred to the "cloud") or selective (certain directories).
After entering the parameters, the application will “curl” to the system tray. By clicking on the icon, you can view the free space and add new folders for sharing data.
The program interface window is logically divided into five tabs. Thanks to Russian localization, even inexperienced users will be able to deal with the functionality. The most “delicious” in our opinion is in the last section (“Advanced” button). In it, you can set an individual synchronization algorithm for certain types of objects.
Pros:
- large amount of "cloud";
- flexible price offers;
- you can set personal conditions for sharing files.
Minuses:
- a small number of users in Runet;
- there are restrictions on traffic when downloading data from the "cloud" by a large number of users.
Mega Cloud is a worthy competitor even to the eminent Google Drive. The repository impresses with its simplicity, high security, and clients for popular platforms. Corporate customers will like the developers' loyal pricing policy and the ability to order a large amount of virtual storage space. For example, the Pro III plan offers as much as 4 TB of space.
Analogues:
- Yandex.Disk - virtual storage from the developers of the most popular search engine Runet;
- Copy Cloud Storage is a powerful secure archive.
