What is the best way to bypass the Mega Download Limit?
Have you ever received an error message stating that you had exceeded your Mega download limit while attempting to download large files?Don’t panic if you have. We’ll show you how to get around Mega download limits and download files of any size.
Mega is a great cloud storage and file hosting service. You can only upload or download up to 5GB of data per day. This is 150 GB per month for the Mega Free plan. You will need to wait until the next day if you need to access files larger than 5GB.
The MEGA first displays a message about a “limited transfer limit.” This message will be ignored if you click “Continue Downloading”. The “Transfer Limit Exceeded” popup will appear as soon as the download limit has been reached.
There are several ways to get around the MEGA limit and download files of any size on Windows 10/11 or Android.
Let’s now see how to get around the Mega download limit.
Ways to Bypass the Mega Download Limit
These are three ways to get around the Mega download limit so that you can download large files with no limit.
VPN
Mega monitors your free transfer allowance using your IP address. This means MEGA can check how much data you send via your IP address. It will ask you to wait 2 hours if it detects that your transfer limit has been exceeded. Then the time keeps getting longer.
You can use a VPN to hide your IP address and other online activities. You can also browse anonymously with a VPN. You must remember several things when using a VPN to bypass the restriction.
You will need to wait until the limit is reset before you can download large files or files with many folders. If you don’t reset your limit, you will need to start over.
You can use a VPN to download small files. If you’ve used your account quota for downloading a file and want to download another file, close MEGAsync, enable VPN again, and open the MEGAsync application.
We recommend that users who plan to use a free VPN switch to a paid VPN. MEGAsync will use all of your VPN bandwidth to download the file as fast as possible. Your account will be limited if you use a free VPN. NordVPN is the best VPN provider when it comes to paying VPN services.
MegaBasterd: Mega Downloader
There are many tools that can be used to download megafiles. Although there is a command-line tool that can be used to download Mega files, it can be difficult to use. MegaBasterd is recommended.
This is an unofficial, cross-platform, open-source, cross-platform downloader and uploader of MEGA files. It can stream videos. Smart proxy settings allow you to bypass the daily MEGA download limit.
These are the steps to help you avoid the Mega “Transfer quota exceeded” error.
- First, download the most recent Java version for Windows and install it on your computer.
- Then, go to and get MegaBasterd Mega Downloader.This programme is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The executable file can be downloaded according to your operating system. I downloaded the Windows Portable ZIP file to test it on Windows.
- Extract the zip file after downloading it.
- Open the extracted folder and right-click the MegaBasterd batch file. Next, click on “Run as administrator. Java must be installed in order for the application to run.
- You may be asked to create an API key; click No. You may be violating the MEGA terms and conditions of use if you don’t have an API key.
- Click on edit and then settings in the file menu. Click to change the download location.
- Scroll down until you find “Use smartproxy” and enable it.
- Mega’s daily limit is 5GB. To get around this, enter your proxy details. You won’t be able to download files larger than 5GB.
- Visit any proxy-list website to get details. Enter the US Proxy List into Google to open the first search result. Copy proxy information from the site and paste it into the SmartProxy section.
Proxies only work for a limited time. We don’t include proxy information here.
- Enter the proxy details in the form below. (See the screenshot for a better understanding.)
Port
- After entering the proxy details, click save.
Notice: If you want, you can also enter a MEGA API Key in the advanced settings. On the advanced settings page, you will find the URL to create the API key. Click Create an App to open the page. Once you have completed the details, the API key will be sent to you. To download files, however, you don’t need an API key. This is to ensure you don’t violate their terms.
- Close the Settings window. Copy the URL to the MEGA file that you want to download. Copy the root folder link. You can also select which file you want to download later.
- Select File, then click on “New Download. Copy the MEGA file link and click on the Let’s Dance, Baby button.
- Select the files that you want to download, then click on Let’s Dance, Baby again. You can choose to delete files that you do not want.
- Sometimes, downloading might stall. This is normal. Your files will take some time to download. Do not close the app if your files aren’t downloading.
Cloudflare WARP
Personally, I prefer 1.1.1.1 with Cloudflare’s WARP. It is a public DNS resolver that Cloudflare operates, and WARP acts like a VPN (Virtual Private Network). You can browse the Internet anonymously with this service. It’s free and even ad-free.
The Cloudflare WARP app allows you to bypass the download limit only once. This VPN does not allow you to switch locations like other VPNs.
If the file is less than 10GB, WARP may be able to help you. You can also try other VPN Services or the one previously mentioned.
These steps will allow you to bypass the Mega Download limit in the Cloudflare WARP App.
- First, download the Cloudflare WARRP app and install it on your computer. It is also available for iOS and Android phones.
- The WARP icon will be displayed in the quick launch bar. Click on it and click on the switch.
- Click on the Settings icon to make sure that “1.1.1.1 with WAP” has been selected.
- WARP will connect to the internet at one point. It will stop downloading once it reaches 5 GB.
- WARP will connect to the internet at one point. It will stop downloading once it reaches 5 GB.
- To continue downloading, close WAR and disconnect from the internet.It will then start downloading again when you connect to WARp.
