Guess that the new MU isn't as good as it was before now that they are stricter with copyrights like all the rest of the file upload services.
i'm a classic 80's relic
they have also been taking down non copy righted material, which made a few headlines (eNews). I wonder if really they aren't' as good as before and if the scare tactics really worked.
Yay glad it's back

I'm glad they are back, but I'm not sure what that will mean for sharing ISOs for emulated systems. Used to be a quick search found most of any game you were looking for, and now for some of the rarer/less common games it might take a week to find a poorly seeded torrent to be able to get it. I'm cautiously optimistic about MEGA being the new primary uploading site like megaupload used to be.

It'll be no different then it is now with how people just link to DLC files that will mask the origin links that just point your downloader to MEGA, If MEGA give's users great download speeds like the old Megaupload did and helps keep the uploader's "safer" from prying eyes with their new encryption methods all I see is good things for the many sharing communities, including this site. If your expecting some public Google like MEGA search engine, then that's just asking for files to get taken down so that probably wont happen/be reliable.
Legend in My Own Mind
After what happened to MU, Mega has to put up that copyright notice and all that scary "anti-piracy" language as a legal "Hold Me Harmless" kinda thing. It places all responsibility for file content squarely on the user, which is really where it was all along. During the big takedown of MU, the US government simply tried to make Kim Dotcom and his staff the "whipping boys", so to speak, because they were easier to reach than millions of Megaupload's users.
Bottom Line: All that Mumbo-Jumbo isn't really anything to worry about.
From what I've been reading on Mega.co.nz's "Help Centre" page, the biggest problems with the site are bugs and glitches when using any other browser except Chrome. I'm not sure if it's been fixed, but apparently certain other browsers that buffer uploads and downloads into memory will crash/stall your up/downloading after a certain amount of data has been transferred. Not really a big deal, but something to be aware of.
More info from the site: Download Links:

However, requiring anyone who downloads what I put there to use Chrome when downloading might be a sticking point. I know we have a few Mac users and Windows/Firefox fans here at EP.How do I install MEGA?
You do not need to install anything. MEGA is entirely browser based and works with all current major browsers. To unleash MEGA's full potential, we strongly urge you to use Google Chrome only.
Are there any file size limits on MEGA?
We do not impose artificial limits on file sizes other than your available cloud drive space. However, some legacy or technically inadequate browsers require the entire file to be stored in memory for downloading (Firefox, IE10, Opera), or for both downloading and uploading (IE9, Safari 5).

Chrome isn't required its just recommended, I've downloaded a thing with plane old Firefox without a problem /shrug. Also Chrome comes in portable flavor as well, so it's a much easier pill to swallow then say something like Jdownloader + Java. Oh and MEGA has Firefox users covered anyway with there official Firefox add-on which is suppose to help or whatever.

That's great! When did this come about?
Does anyone know megaupload preserve old data or not. I really want to know about this.
Make EP Great Again!
What do you mean old data? Like from the old Megaupload? They don't have that, it's not possible for them to.
*PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here
Enjoying the finer things
Mega is pretty cool. I made a couple accounts the day they opened up. I like the free 50GB of cloud storage they give you. The only thing that sucks is that it is always slammed with traffic so you have a hard time connecting kinda like the pirate bay. And... I like that they call the trash the "rubbish bin"

Nice, I hope a lot of people use it
Re: Megaupload is back!
I Don't use chrome and I don't trust their firefox plugin.
Besides, my sources say there might be another raid in a few months.
If only there were a way to delete all the megauplode links spread across the internet
