Is there a way to bypass mega’s transfer quota with paying for a vpn or anything?

16 points

if you are going to subscribe to vpn to bypass quota, why not subscribe to mega instead? Even the lowest plan is fine (1tb transfer) if you are not a heavy downloader. I think it’s cheaper if you use google play.

Jdownloader2 with a debrid (paid), or megabasterds(free). Either works i prefer jdownloader as it is a more complete download manager

My approach may be not most anonymous, but it gets the job done. I’m downloading from multiple free VPNs. That’s it. If I exhaust quota, just switch to another one.

This is what I do also. Can be a hassle switching and finding an IP with free quota but it has worked for me so far. I do not DL a lot though nor do I automate the process.

Jdownloader2 can run a script when you hit the mega limit. I wrote a script to change VPN regions and it works great.

I’m on Linux with PIA. I made a list of geographically local regions and my script picks one at random then runs piactl set region $randomregion

On the JD2 settings page, go to Reconnect. Check all 3 boxes. Set reconnect method to External Tool Reconnect. Put the absolute path to your script. If you have PIA I can try and post my little script, formatting on mobile isn’t working.
