Mega began as a popular way for users to share files online. However, as it grew in popularity, privacy and access became more and more of an issue. So in the early 2010s, they began to encrypt client-side using the AES algorithm. With this measure implemented, Mega does not have the encryption keys to uploaded files; 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 gives users an easy and safe way to distribute files online.

Before continuing, I want to mention that Mega’s paid services 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 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. No other version seems to have this option. This step is crucial for a successful download. There are many places to download version 1.8, but be 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.

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.
