What's the deal with this website? I remember back when

>>57050392
kim dotcom got arrested, is now bankrupt, and the site was a honeypot all along

>>57050392
Dotcom lost it. That's what happened.

Good news is that he won his court case and it launching an actual Megaupload. Release date: 2017

In other news, he plans to work on another "internet", called MEGANet, along with a bitcoin system called Bitcache.

Megaupload and mega are two different things. MEGA is not a honeypot, but dotcom said not to use it for reasons such as OPs.

>Having your file host fucked over TWICE

In the meantime, mixtape.moe and other pomf clones are nice. just ure multipart rars

>>57050408
Not precisely. As far as I remember it the feds seized the site and since then it's been operated by the NZ government. So yeah it's a honeypot now but it might not have been at its conception.

>>57050408
>>57050442
Oh, so it's fucked AGAIN. Why did it happen this time though? You're telling me that it's the NZ government that's trying to jew me out of 5 euros now? What are they trying to accomplish?
Still, that sucks. I'll stay away from it from now on.

>mixtape.moe and other pomf clones
I don't want to use those for filesharing for the same reason that caused pomf to die. I'll keep those to small videos and songs.

>>57050392
I hope Mega doesn't end up shutting down. Honeypot or not it's been the "defacto" file hosting website to host pirated or original material for a few years now because of it's high downloading speeds and higher file retention. It was so annoying when megaupload shut down and nearly every other download link was down.

lol wtf are you talking about

>>57050539
Heard there was a hostile takeover from China and the NZ government seized assets somehow.

>>57050442
>Good news is that he won his court case

The latest one? As in, the extradition? I can't find news about it.

>use mega for most media with jdownloader
>no problems at all

Short of megavideo, it IS the second coming of megaupload

You must be blessed then.

>just make an account ya fuckin goober
I have an account. Did you even read that post? It's not "just make an account". If I were to do a workaround, I'd just reset my IP. But I'm not talking about that. Those limits weren't there before and now they are.

>hostile takeover from China
I just looked it up. Takeover by a chinese fraudster, that then got seized by the NZ gov. Man, that's shit. When it isn't the government trying to fuck over file-sharing, it's some exploitative businessman prick. When will it end?

How recent is this download limit thing? I downloaded a heap off Mega last month and didn't come across this once.

FUCK NEW ZEALAND

>mega
1. pain in the ass to use
2. fight your way through javascript hell
3. encryption under their control not yours
4. kim dotcom = sabu II (arrested, runs honeypot to save own ass)
5. fuck mega
