What's the deal with MegaUpload?

Maybe it`s just me but mega upload sometimes jacks my router up and disconnects it, and 5 MB files take 20 minuets or so. Fan of Rapidshare and mediafire.

Wow, sounds like that is more of a problem on your end. I'll often download anime from Megaupload (170-300mbs in size) and I always manage to download something in less than fifteen minutes.

Standing up for torrents, my friends and I have downloaded stuff before that was pretty old, but there was still a kickass connection. I downloaded a Victory Gundam torrent a few weeks ago, and it was huge (11GB), but it finished in less than twenty-four hours. It was awesome.

Also, so far, MegaUpload is the only file-hosting site that I've seen that has a good speed. Rapidshare is incredibly slow, and I can't tell how fast Mediafire is, since it only hosts small files that finish within a minute anyways, but it does actually take some time to download that stuff. I imagine a large file on Mediafire would take a decent amount of time.

Finally, the best thing about torrents is that it's all in one nice package. Using Victory Gundam again as an example, if I had downloaded each individual episode from MegaUpload, it would have required me to sit at the computer for hours. (It's a 51-episode series.) But with a torrent, all I had to do was start it up.

I prefer DDL over torrents just for one simple reason: torrents get slow over time. I use it only for actual/newest things.

A few weeks ago I was redownloading Hayate S2 and for some reason I had to use eclipse torrents... one damn episode up to 12 took me 6 fucking hours to download just because there were at most 3 uploaders.

On the other hand, if I find a living DDL link, the stuff gets downloaded almost instantly.

Using Mega Manager all you have to do is copy/paste all 51 links into the download window and it runs itself.

it's probably been said but some peoples can't leave their internet running all night, plus if someone prefers to direct download something rather than wait a few days (sometimes longer) then who cares... These sites are amazing and are more useful than the majority of the internets. If the uploader doesn't feel like making a MU how does it affect you? The person asking for it will simply miss out or the uploader will miss out on a few downloads of his "work".

I love MU now because I use illimitux.(had problems with MU before)
I get downloads speeds of up to 1.7 megs/sec a lot of the time and I download hentai vids in about 2 minutes. Magnificent.

Torrent isn't as reliable as MU for me.

If there's a torrent for a 4Gig file but there's 10 Megauploads for the same file, I'd select the torrent because even if it does take a long time I don't have to do anything, like go and do the download process.

Offtopic.
Also MegaUpload doesn't have a wait time like most downloads like DepositFiles or SharingMatrix. And it's more safer...

MegaUpload is blocked in my country(WRY). I have to use jdownloader just to download Mu files. While downloading lots of files it's convenient, downloading ONE (1-3) file(s) on MU is a bitch.

MU's Only Limit On Me Is That I Can DL Anything Bigger Than 1GB I Believe. But I Can Parallel DL As Many As I Want.
