What is MegaDownloader?

MegaDownloader is a download client for MEGA.CO.NZ, allowing you to easily downl

oad files from MEGA.CO.NZ
Is an official app?
It is a standalone unofficial application. Its use is free and there is no charg
e for using it or download it.
Why MegaDownloader?
* Fast: You can download multiple files simultaneously with multiple connections
per file, squeezing the bandwidth.
* Lightweight: Takes up less than 2MB and consumes little resources. It doesn't
create giant temporary files. Just uses a small buffer in memory and stores the
file directly in disk.
* Secure: MegaDownloader does not show ads or banners when using it. It doesn't
collect information from user. Only connects to MEGA.CO.NZ to download the files
, and periodically checks for updates. Nothing else. And sensitive internal info
rmation is stored locally encrypted using DPAPI and AES.
* Simple: Its interface is simple to use: add links and start downloading. That'
s all!
* Complete: It allows pausing, stopping and resuming file downloads. It enqueues
files, grouping them by packages, automatically decompresses RAR/Zip/7z files,
detects links from the clipboard, can limit the download speed, is multilingual,
can be controlled from the phone / remotely with its integrated web server, can
be configured to automatically start or shut down the PC when finish, can recon
nect in case of error, etc. Ah, and you can watch videos online via streaming ;)
What requirements does it have?
You must use Windows XP SP3 or higher (Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, etc) and hav
e installed. NET 3.5 or higher.
It also works on Mac with Parallels, considering that you install. NET 3.5 or hi
gher.
How does it decrypt files?
The decryption is made on the fly, while downloading, so no extra resources are
used (RAM or disk).
How do I start downloading?
First you must start the program and wait for it to load.
Then you have to add links to download.
You can click on the "Add links" button, or copy them to the clipboard - MegaDow
nloader will detect them!
Then, just add one or more links and put them in the queue.
Once in the queue, you might check the status:
- Stopped: Connections are closed and download is stopped.
- Downloading: The queue items are being downloaded in order.
- Paused: The connections are open but the files are not being downloaded. When
it returns to the state 'Downloading' it will immediately start downloading.
How do I configure the program? There are many options!
You can use the default settings, without touching anything, to begin downloadin
g. When the setup screen appears, click Yes, and that's all!
The only option you have to look a bit is the default download path (where the f
ile is saved). The default path is Windows Desktop. If you do not specify a defa
ult path, you will have to enter it every time you download something.
How I can see the remaining time?
By default, some columns are not shown. Right click on the column header of the
list of downloads, select the columns to show or hide.

I can not change the size of the name column!

This column is automatically resized by the size of other columns. Therefore you
should modify the other columns to resize the name column. This is done to avoi
d horizontal scrolling.
How I can translate the application into another language?
A more complete tutorial will be made soon.
Basically you have to create a new file in the internal configuration path, unde
r the Language directory, copying another file (it is recommended to use as a ba
sis en-US.xml). You have to put the language code in the format ISO 639 + ISO 31
66. Then you have to edit the XML and change, first, the code and name of the la
nguage, then the translation (keeping the 'id' attribute of each node). Ready!
Next time you start the program, you will be able to change the language from th
e configuration screen (if the language code is correct and exists).
The antivirus tells me MegaDownloader contains a virus or a Trojan!!
MegaDownloader is safe. It is compressed using MPRESS to minimize its size. Some
viruses also use MPRESS so they are more difficult to detect; for that reason s
ome antivirus mark as dangerous any compressed file in this way - a false positi
ve!
You can use an HTTP sniffer like Fiddler to see what does MegaDownloader in the
background, and check that apart from connecting with MEGA to download files and
check the latest version, it doesn't make strange connections or send personal
information of any kind.
You can also download and examine the source code.
MegaDownloader is 100% secure.
Hmmm the English translation is not good...
English is not my first tongue so any correction is welcome!
