What is Megaupload?

Posted by : rapidshare-accounts | | Published in

The basic service is available for free and allows users to upload files of up to 2048 MB. Free users cannot download files larger than 1 GB, however. Free registered users are offered 200 GB of total file storage. Premium users have unlimited file storage. After a successful file upload, the user is given a unique URL which allows others to download the file.

Any file uploaded anonymously will expire if there are no downloads for at least 21 days. For free registered accounts, the expiration period is 90 days. Premium accounts have no expiration period as long as the user remains a premium member.[2]

Users must fill a text-based CAPTCHA when downloading a file. Non-registered users have to wait 45 seconds in the download queue and a certain amount of time between transfers after a certain amount of megabytes had been downloaded.[2]

Note that even paying members do not get a direct hotlink for non-paying members to download. Non-members trying to download an uploaded file are forced to MegaUpload's site and have to wait 45 seconds to initiate a download.
