    it is weird,
    in the old days:
    I have to
    - wait 45 second before each download
    - only 3 downloads per login/connection/ip-address
    - 1 gigabytes limit on ip-address

    NOW:
    I dont have to wait, the download button appears after I type in the "4 digit code" and pressed enter.
    no download limits at all whatsoever.

    am I now a premium member or something?
    well, why?
    what make it so?

    I am a newbie here, many people actually watch video online? I hate the choppiness, and would rather download it first.
    Sometimes MU links are taken down while the megavideo link is still up, so one can download from megavideo. However, when there are many episodes, I wonder if there is a shortcut that can avoid having to select the download button and then go thru a few screens before the download is set?

    i was wondering that too. i'm thinking... that's not quite possible. but i haven't seen that 25 second wait time in awhile though (even during non happy hour @@).

    even so, i'm not complaining =P

    yes - use megamanager OR just download from torrent


    you don't have to pay to be a member... a free membership gives you loadsa perks as it is... and with megamanager i haven't hit download limit as far as i can remember...

    The megamanager installed some kind of malware on my comp, Kaspersky caught but it really makes me distrust MU because of that.

    I can parallel download files if they are smaller than ~300mb without the toolbar.

    same here. I installed the mega manager a while back, and my anti-virus (even though its a crappy norton internet security) started going off like crazy. it made me stay far far away from mega manager or toolbar.

    but when you get past that, i can see how it can get useful.
