yes same issue with me @tonikelope

Hello, you have reached the download limit imposed by MEGA. From here there are 5 possible MITIGATIONS (none perfect + 100%free + definitive):

(Option 1) WAIT for MEGA to let you download again (usually 6/12 hours).

(Option 2) Buy a MEGA PRO account -> https://mega.nz/pro (Recommended option)

(Option 3) Use proxies (Settings -> Downloads -> SmartProxy and paste your proxy list).
(WARNING: downloading via proxies is very unstable and may be against MEGA's terms of use (use at your own risk)).
NOTE: i am NOT at all interested in adding more options or extra functionality related to this option. There are plenty of applications to manage proxy lists (and other MEGA download managers as well, of course).

(Option 4) Use a VPN (you can also configure in settings some custom external script to change VPN server on-demand).
(WARNING: downloading via VPN may be against MEGA's terms of use (use at your own risk)).

(Option 5) If your ISP gives you a new dynamic IP every time you connect, you can reset your router and see if you have any luck.

Regards.

Sadly doesn't work for me (proxylist way)

Sir my download is fast until 4gb then it starts to lag.....it is now downloading the last file @471B/s.Please tell me how to fix it.

Proxies work perfectly fine. Check the proxy list every so often. The author of this project is insane and updated it literally 1 hour ago, so the proxies work fine then. Keep in mind that looking up proxies from here will likely not work, so just use the proxies posted here instead. Unfortunately, Mega Basterd still freezes for me when using those proxies after a while, so obviously the proxy method isn't perfect. If anyone has solutions for using a VPN though let me know. I haven't tried that yet.
EDIT: If you add a ton of proxies and it freezes for about 5 minutes-ish, exit Mega Basterd (click the triangle thing in your taskbar on Windows to open the tray, right click on Mega Basterd, and click "Exit") and reopen it. It should reload all your downloads and start using the proxies.

Do i have to Port Foward the proxys in my router so that they work?

[kelvinjoxe]

immediately after reaching 4gb download my speed start deteriorating @tonikelope might be the problem

one more question is it safe to exit megabasterd without waiting for transferences to be stopped safely
thankyou

[anujmritunjay]

I tried each and every method but none of them work for me.
If any one have solution for this kindly tell me please.

[GirdharGopalGG]

Using proton VPN helps
It lets u download till 5 GB thennnn
U just have to re-select the vpn among the list of many
to get reset your download limit. Then repeat

[ObviousNiNi]

What I'm doing is search a bunch of proxy list, every time it stops I change the list and restart. It downloads 3-4GB and stop, so change list and restart, and so on.

I've tried Proton VPN thing and idk why it doesn't work for me, never continues with the downloading, even after restart. (tried bunch of vpns and proton doesn't work at all, but others get an slightly improvement.) But the improvement is from 0/B to 100-120 KBS. Without the VPN and doing the proxy thing I've mentioned I got this:

Hope it helps? Ah btw sometimes I can download 16gb without changing the list, and other times I need to change it like 5 or 6 times. Sometimes I need to change the list several times before it actually starts the download.

where do you find the proxy lists? And are they free or paid?

[Optinux]

where do you find the proxy lists? And are they free or paid?

https://github.com/tonikelope/megabasterd/blob/proxy_list/proxy.txt

they are updated every hour or so

[fluffisch]

you all need some big proxy list for good results, thats the magic.
I can download stuff at almost full speed, thanks for developing this!

can I just paste the proxy url in smartproxy? or do I have to format it in some way?
the example under smartproxy says #PROXY_LIST_URL
does that mean:
#https://github.com/tonikelope/megabasterd/blob/proxy_list/proxy.txt
or without hashtag?

(A "direct" url to file is required).

In your example URL (# is required):

Better you do a quik Proxy scan of that lists, too.
These lists are often rescanned multiple times per hour, but you dont know from where.
So you need to be sure that these proxys are working from your location, or the downloader will try many connection atemps that dont will work and will result in much CPU and RAM Usage. So Download these lists and rescan em your self, then you can use em right. As Example:

Crawled all lists => 17.000 Proxys
remove duplicates => 7.000 Proxys
Rescan without http:=> 640 Proxys

Megabasterd goes BRRRRRRR

edit: Dont forget to set USe multiple Slots per file at Settings

after adding proxy URL, the download does not start.

also, in version 7.70 I was able to download a 33.97GB file without it stopping, and i was not using a proxy list.

[xueba-gh]

@virtualcrane where is the link to the version 7.70?

[DAPakaDAPPER]

@tonikelope How can i contact you outside of Github
I have something to share/Discuss
Topic: MEGA PERMANENT LINK.

[FutanariNekoChan]

some link just stuck on this step

i wait about 3 hour and nothing happen

[Lozt247]

@tonikelope is there a way of doing a rotating smart proxy list that refreshes every day or hour
just curious that would be awesome

[LAKMAR123]

[Vultrex111]

i was thinking what makes megabasterd fast, is it because of proxies or what? Thanks
