I know I am in danger of being criticized for being a dumb newb, but I'm struggling with downloading large files on MEGA.

I will pay for a subscription if that is the solution but I'm assuming there must be a way to max out on the limits without wasting so much time semi-downloading large files and not being able to continue the download from that point later?

Thanks in advance

Are you on a wired connection?

I don't think I fully understand the problem, but I think what you mean is that when you use up your daily free allowance you have to wait 24 hours to continue downloading? You could try to use a VPN and maybe find an unused daily allowance for that IP however it's quite unlikely as a lot of people will try to do the same. If you don't mind paying a subscription as you said then maybe paying for a premium MEGA account is the way for you because I believe they increase your daily limit if not make it unlimited. If they do make it unlimited I assume they cap the download speed though. I hope that helps.

Just use the desktop app, it'll help.

use the mega app its almost always faster

Thank you all.

Yes, it was the quota issue - I can get 5gb on my vpn, then 5gb outside of the vpn and have managed to get more later in same day through vpn - the main issue is the larger files.

I wondered if there were any tricks out there to try to get unlimited usage but I think you've answered my question - I need to pay Premium to make full use of it.

I'll probably do that - thanks for taking the time to help me out.

Get the MEGA app for your computer
