Is there a way to bypass mega’s transfer quota with paying for a vpn or anything?
if you are going to subscribe to vpn to bypass quota, why not subscribe to mega instead? Even the lowest plan is fine (1tb transfer) if you are not a heavy downloader. I think it’s cheaper if you use google play.
Love this sub 🏴☠️
Jdownloader2 with a debrid (paid), or megabasterds(free). Either works i prefer jdownloader as it is a more complete download manager
My approach may be not most anonymous, but it gets the job done. I’m downloading from multiple free VPNs. That’s it. If I exhaust quota, just switch to another one.
This is what I do also. Can be a hassle switching and finding an IP with free quota but it has worked for me so far. I do not DL a lot though nor do I automate the process.
Somewhat related: what’s a good way to find content on mega? Movies, tv series, etc.
Wasn’t there a reputable VPN provider offering a free browser VPN? I feel like that could work.
Obviously it wouldn’t work for torrenting files but it should work for what you are doing.
I don’t recall who it was though. It wasn’t a shady provider. Maybe it was ProtonVPN or something?
Protonvpn has a browser app where you can turn it on so it works on your browser traffic but not the rest of the network ( e.g. steam ). I haven’t tried it much so I can’t say how well it works or how stable it is.
The problem with downloading over http is that if it fails you’ll usually need to start over completely. And that sucks if you’re pulling in big files like… Linux ISO images.
If you’re downloading a lot over http I’d suggest finding a download manager. Those usually have some kind of resume download functionality.
Perhaps there is one that allows binding to the VPN interface?
There’s also only so many servers. So if other people are downloading as well you might run into the transfer limit faster?
I’ve no experience:)
I’m not sure. From what I’ve read it’s pretty stable and when using other VPNs with MEGA I haven’t had issues with the transfer limit already being depleted. It could be not a lot of people actually go through the hoops to do it.
I definitely don’t see it mentioned here. There was one person who thought they were downloading torrents through it combined with a web client but that’s something else
Jdownloader2 can run a script when you hit the mega limit. I wrote a script to change VPN regions and it works great.
MegaBasterd.
I just use Mullvad and switch servers when I hit the limit, has worked so far.
