Overcoming the limitation of download slots for a country in Megaupload

It’s a common problem that many of us face when we need to download from Megaupload & we see that really stinky message (It goes something like this ) “ All download slots (300) assigned to your country (Your Country) are in use.Please try again later “.

Oh Boy this sure boils my blood !!!! I search for hours & hours on the net to find these links & those folks just slam this message at my face .. Huh !!! Terrible , Atrocious, Sick … Well I’ll absue them latter :-)


Now how do I overcome this ??? I figured out a way :-) Hooray :-) :-)

What do I need to get over this problem ??? Hmmm … a few simple ingredients ( Man now I’m feeling hungry :-) )

1. Mozzila FireFox Browser

And then I’m ready :-)

Just follow the following steps and your all set to download


1. Open FireFox.

2. Go to tools  User Agent Switcher  Options  Options & Click it

3. Now in the new window that comes up, highlight the User Agents options

4. Click on the Add Button

5. In the Description Box, Type MEGAUPLOAD

6. And in the User Agent,Type
“ Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Alexa Toolbar) “

Please not DO NOT include the quotes & type it in a single line.

7. Click Ok

8. Click Ok

9. Now paste your link & press enter

10. You get that stink message again

11. Go to tools  User Agent Switcher & click on MEGAUPLOAD

12. Now press reload again

13. Presto !!! You get the counter ticking & you start downloading :-)

If you do not have Fire Fox & would like to download it, please do it so from this site. You will not be loosing anything, but i would recieve a small contribution from fire fox for your download. Please find it download link at the top of the page.

11 July 2007 : An Update : I have received mails telling me that this exploit does not work for some people. I haven't actually had the time to check and see what the problem was. But yeah there's an alternative :-) !!!!

There's this great plugin that you can install on FireFox called the Megaupload SxV3.2 by PBreak. It's simply fantastic !!!! Install the plugin & enable it and Boy megaupload seems to work like heaven :-)

The link to the Plugin is " https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3843 "
