Why use Mega ?
Nowadays it becomes more and more difficult to upload torrents to reliable websites.
The existing sites are constantly monitored by authorities which can lead to heavy fines in countries as the USA, Germany, France etc.
The use of torrents will decline and as a result, less seeders and slower downloads.
Mega offers the possibilty to transfer data from one Mega account to another in less than a second.
Large downloads of many Gigabytes can be "yours" almost immediately.
What do you need ?
For torrents you need a torrent-client like Utorrent, Vuze, Bittorrent or other simular programs.
For Mega you'll need Mega Downloader.
Furthermore you must also have your own (free) Mega cloud to tranfer file(s) from the Mega downloadsite to your own Mega account. As already stated above such a transfer can be made within a second.
Preparations for downloads via Mega

You can setup as many accounts as you have valid email-addresses.

Preparations for downloads via Mega
A free Mega-account:
You can setup as many accounts as you have valid email-addresses.
- Go to the Mega Site and register a new account.
- You can use any name and/or password as long as your email-address is valid because you will receive an email from Mega for confirmation.
- Select your kind of account (Free) and submit.
- When you have confirmed your account via email, you login again and you now have your own Mega account.
- Don't forget your password and emailadress used as there is no way to retrieve it, not even via Mega !
Mega Downloader:
Download the program here
Leave the window for email blank, leave settings for Password as they are. You are anonimous now.
As Downloadpath (=Desktop by default) I have made a folder on my desktop Mega2, because I don't want downloads scattered all over my desktop.
Should you wish to limit the downloadspeed you can check that box but I don't think it will be necessary as the program takes 90% of your capacity.
Pre-shared Keys:
Will be blank at start - will come back on that later when you are really downloading something.
Other tabs - don't bother !
Save the configuration. You're now ready for downloading.
