[size=5]How To Bypass Mega Download Limits[/size]
Downloading files can have limits with many of the free online cloud services such as Google Drive and Mega. " This method works best for single files such as ISO, ZIP or IMAGE files."
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.
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.
