Having trouble when downloading or uploading with megaupload? Well, I Just want to share some simple steps for sharing large files on the web using the online file sharing service.
One of the most advantage of using MegaUpload, compared with other similar service, is the duration of how long your files will be kept in their server. Megaupload will only delete Your uploaded files only after it become unused for 30 days. So, if many of your friends download it, over and over again, the files will always remain. The size is quite big, up to to 50 GB, I guess it’s more than enough to share your music files, movies, etc.
From MegaUpload page:
Why should I use Megaupload?
Whenever you need to send a file that is too large for e-mail, Megaupload can help. If you need secure remote storage capacity for off-site backups, Megaupload offers solutions for you. If you want to access personal data from a variety of computers and don’t want to carry around a USB stick, Megaupload is a perfect way of doing so. If your bandwidth demand exceeds what your regular web hoster is capable of delivering, you can distribute your downloads using Megaupload’s powerful global server network (we also offer pay-per-download facilities). If you are a shareware author or blogger providing popular content to the world, our Megaupload Rewards program will enable you to profit from people downloading your files.
Megaupload eliminates the following problems:
It is more secure than regular e-mail.
- You don’t have to worry about the size of a file and it being rejected because the recipient’s e-mail server won’t allow a file that big or their inbox is full.
- The download is the exact file you uploaded, and no one has a chance to spoof or manipulate the file. Our servers are secure, and uploaded files can be removed, but not changed.
- Now you are able to e-mail out from an Internet cafe, friend’s PC, or while you’re at a corporate PC. You can easily upload the files from wherever you are and then download them when you get to your destination.
- Stop being shouted at by your friends saying it took forever to get your e-mail attachment and they couldn’t receive or send e-mail until it’s completed. Not everyone is on a high speed connection, and files get larger every day. By sending the link, people can download your files at their leisure when they are ready.
- Eliminate country or domain blocking problems for e-mail. Because of spam, more and more companies are implementing new rules about receiving e-mails. It is not uncommon for companies to delete e-mail from certain countries or even domains. If someone can’t receive your e-mail, just telephone them and give them the file link over the telephone. This will allow them to download the file easily and simply.
