Info: Is there a set wait time on mega's 5 GB download limit (or a workaround)?

I have several projects that I recently imported to my free mega account that I’m going to be downloading, but mega is now imposing a 5 GB download limit.

I’m pretty much resigned to just being patient and downloading parts of file groups at a time. But it would be nice if I knew there was a set time for the delay. That way I wouldn’t end up waiting longer than necessary but also wouldn’t get my timer reset if I jump in again too early. Does anyone know if there is such a set time?

That said, does anyone have an easy workaround that will work with Jdownloader 2, FreeRapid Downloader, or MegaDownloader?

I’d rather not use Internet Download Manager, as it messes with browser defaults, and I’m not going to meddle with the Command Prompt or the IP address, as I only really know enough to know that I could really mess things up if I made a mistake.

But if anybody has any other suggestions, I’m all ears. 😃

Thanks!

Use a VPN and MegaSync, and when the limit occours, disconnect and reconnect (always through VPN) to get a new IP, and no waiting time.

Thank you ^…^!

But if I use a free VPN, wouldn’t that just result in the VPN service putting a limit on downloads instead of mega?

Or can you reccomend a free client that has bandwidth limits generous enough to make it worth it?

Or perhaps you only need to use the VPN to get the new IP address, and then go back to using your regular connection?

Thanks for the help!

I use BetterNet - it “seems” to have no bandwidth limit!

^…^, you … are … flipping … awesome!

That works PERFECTLY! Sooo many thank yous!

By the way, your username has me curious.

Is there some sound, verbal or otherwise, the you imagine with ^…^, or do you think of it more like that unpronounceable O(+> symbol Prince used to use?

Originally it was:

but sadly after the forum update, it ended up as it is now… 😦

Indeed, it’s not even possible to type it here, hence the image!
