Downloading files can have limits with many of the free online cloud services such as Google Drive and Mega. In this post, we will show you how to bypass Mega download limits. If you have similar issues with Google Drive, we created this post to give users a solution with download limitations.

If this method doesn’t work for you, you can try these:

Mega began as a popular way for users to share files on the internet. As it grew in popularity, privacy and access became more and more of an issue. In the early 2010’s they began to encrypted client-side using the AES algorithm. With this measure implemented, Mega does not have the encryption keys to uploaded files, and therefore they cannot decrypt and view the content. With this level of security Mega has become a top choice for many users. This end to end encryption and gives users an easy and safe way to distribute files online.

I want to mention before continuing, the paid services that Mega offers are cheap and come with high levels of security and anonymity for the user base. They’re pioneers of cloud storage and have a reputation for guarding users. Even entry-level Pro-Lite service is completely worth it with 400GB of storage, private chat access, and video calling.

Required Applications to Install

To bypass Mega download limits, you will need a few tools to have installed. First, you need a download manager, and any will do. We are choosing to use the open-source tool Xtreme Download Manager. You can get a copy on GitHub or click on the link below. The second tool we will need is Mega Downloader Version 1.8. We need this version because it will convert the Mega download URL to a Streaming URL and then continue to bypass Mega download limits. This step is crucial for a successful download. There are many places to download version 1.8, but be very careful of your source. There are many versions online with Malware or Trojans embedded in the file. To make things easy, we created the links below for easy access. Both are required for this method.

Xtreme Download Manager (GitHub Link)

Mega Downloader (version 1.8) (Mega Link | Google Drive)

After installing both applications, we are ready to download our large file.

Steps to Download Files with No Limits

First, find the URL of the file you want to download from Mega, highlight the address and copy it.

Next we want to open up the Mega Downloader (version 1.8) application, navigate to the Options menu and select Configuration.

In the Configuration window, select the Streaming tab, and below ensure that the option ‘Use streaming server‘ is checked. Then click on Save, and the window will close.

Next, in the main window of Mega Downloader, go to the Streaming menu, and select ‘Watch online‘.

Now can PASTE the file address from Mega into the ‘MEGA URL Link‘. Below it will automatically generate a Streaming URL link below. Highlight the new Streaming URL link and copy it.

Open up the Xtreme Download Manager application. In the File menu and select the ‘Add URL’ option.

Xtreme Download Manager may automatically paste the address we copied into the Address field, but if it doesn’t, you can click on the field and use keys CTRL +V to paste it in. Once the address is in, click on DOWNLOAD NOW, and your file will begin to download.

That was the final step to bypass Mega download limits. If you have any questions, put them in the comments below, and we will do our best to try and answer them. If you want to download the newer and updated version of the Mega Sync application, you can find our installation video below.

Troubleshooting

This method works best for single files such as ISO, ZIP or IMAGE files.

  • If you are trying to download a folder or multiple files, the Alternative Method, using Megabester is a better solution.

From user John

  • “For people having the 0% download problem, I found a solution that worked for me: change the Port in MegaDowloader Configuration. The default value is ‘54321’, I used ‘54361’ and it worked perfectly. I’m using IDM, by the way.”

Have something else we should add? let me know in the comments below.

    It worked at first, but it got all unresponsive later on like 0% downloading, and then instead of the video file, a HTML file being downloaded. I even tried to redownload the ones that got downlodaed earlier to see if this issue would occur and it did.

    This method only work for .rar file. If the mega link have multiple files only the first file will be transfered.

      yes, that’s correct, it only downloads 1 file and not multiple. For file types, I have only downloaded RAR, ZIP and ISO files. I have not tested video formats. lots of users on our youtube channel are saying it doesn’t work with videos.

      • n3q says:

        Maybe the solution is to request that the mega download as a zip and then capture the link of the zip file, but I don’t know how to capture the link that the mega generates, it must be in some temporary system folder

        • Ali says:

          that will work, but it would require the process to run on the server end. I think it’s against their policy to have any changes done to customer files. Google, on the other hand, does this exact thing without asking anyone anything lol

            It’s possible to import the files to your account > rename(change the extension to zip or whatever) > generate new links from the renamed file and once imported on MegaDownloader library it will show as a zip or whatever extension you have used.

            BUT I’ve tested and it only worked with real rar/zip files.
            Anyways you people could give it a try, results might vary and I’m curious.
