A brilliant oldtimer auto-mechanic asked me to get Audi MMI and maps update for him from the internet. For the Christmas, you know..
So I found the source (mega.nz). It's 22.3GB.
Spent a whole day downloading it (5GB download allowed in 6 hours for free tier), downloaded 21.15GB and some fucked up error appeared "Your In-Browser Storage for Mega is Full".
Couldn't work out the reason nor the fix to recover and complete the already downloaded data. Had to redo it all.
Whole day wasted
damn it5 -

At all.
Maybe just spam for some.
@Creep , here it is, the latest version of my desktop pets project. This has the main software and 2 examples, JDancing Flowey and JNeko.

Rule of thumb when buying things. You need to research a lot and canvass other competitors of that product/service.
In short, I forgot to research pCloud's upload speed. They throttle my upload speed to 1Mbps only which is really slow (I'm in Asia by the way, their server is in US). Got tempted by their $350 2TB lifetime.
I tested the basic upload speed using browser 33.9MB file:
- pCloud 1 min 9 sec
- Dropbox 13 sec
- Google Drive 12 sec
- Mega.Nz 1 min 56 sec
- (I will test next sync.com)
I have a 100Mbps upload and 35 Mbps download speed. So it means "Lifetime" slow upload speed.
Side Question: Which Cloud backup service do you use and why? Thanks!2 -

Approx. 24 hours ago I proceeded to use MEGA NZ to download a file It's something I've done before. I have an account with them.
This is part of the email I received from MEGA NZ following the dowload: "
zemenwambuis2015@gmail.com
YOUR MEGA ACCOUNT HAS BEEN LOCKED FOR YOUR SAFETY; WE SUSPECT THAT YOU ARE USING THE SAME PASSWORD FOR YOUR MEGA ACCOUNT AS FOR OTHER SERVICES, AND THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THESE OTHER SERVICES HAS SUFFERED A DATA BREACH.
While MEGA remains secure, many big players have suffered a data breach (e.g. yahoo.com, dropbox.com, linkedin.com, adobe.com, myspace.com, tumblr.com, last.fm, snapchat.com, ashleymadison.com - check haveibeenpwned.com/PwnedWebsites for details), exposing millions of users who have used the same password on multiple services to credential stuffers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...). Your password leaked and is now being used by bad actors to log into your accounts, including, but not limited to, your MEGA account.
To unlock your MEGA account, please follow the link below. You will be required to change your account password - please use a strong password that you have not used anywhere else. We also recommend you change the passwords you have used on other services to strong, unique passwords. Do not ever reuse a password.

To prevent this from happening in the future, use a strong and unique password. Please also make sure you do not lose your password, otherwise you will lose access to your data; MEGA strongly recommends the use of a password manager.

Who in their right mind is going to believe something like that that's worded so poorly.
Can anybody shed some light on this latest bit of MEGA's fuckery?
Thank you very much.4
