What is Megaupload? Megaupload is a site to share your files quickly, securely, and easily. Megaupload provides free web space for your documents, pictures, music and movies
What is the Glitch? Other than the usual wait time, and captcha verification, there is a big big irritating feature. Have you ever got the error "All download slots assigned to your country are filled"? Hated Megaupload because of it? No don't worry anymore, what does it matter how many people are downloading, you can always download with a single click (almost).
How do defy it? Megaupload want you to install the Alexa toolbar and stuff like that, fine don't install it but use the following techniques to fool them! cool huh?
For Firefox 1. Install the extension "User Agent Switcher" from here (Direct Link). 2. Click Tools > User Agent Switcher > Options > Options > User Agents > Add 3. Then enter the following info in the respective fields
Description: Megaupload User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Alexa Toolbar) App Name: Internet Explorer App Version: 6.0 Platform: Win32
4. Now simply open the download link and get downloading, obviously wait time and captcha are present but no more irritating "Slots Filled".
