    That will be closed down soon enough because of the governments latest purge on IP violators. That Pirate Bay bloke was arrested in Cambodia not long ago.

    I clicked the link in the OP. Thanks, Necron.

    I've never used Magaupload.

    It has everything? Film, music, p*rn?

    You think it will be taken down again soon?

    Edit in:

    I created an account, have a username and password, confirm the email with clicking the link, and it freezed up.

    The old Megaupload site was better than any torrent sites (as it wasn't dependent on seeders)- it would be great to see it come back, but it will be a long time (if ever) before it could match it's former content.

    It looks like that- what may happen is that many uploaders will use the same simple password (or just provide it in their links), which would be perfectly legal to do- that's just a guess, but it would seem easy enough.

    the site is HTML 5 - so you need a fully compliant browser for it to work as it is supposed to

    firefox , opera and exploder do not have full compliance with HTML5 , thus the message - you could change the user agent on your browser to report as chrome and you will not get the message
    If you torture data for enough time , you can get it to say what you want.

    But why choose just Mega, there are 100's of others like Filefactory, Uploaded etc.

    ^

    I looked at all the big sites- none were set up as well (I liked the forum arrangement they had), or had faster download speeds (and the content was amazing- I never found another site that matched them- they used to reward uploaders through a 'points' system so people would upload old and obscure stuff I've never seen anywhere else, especially when it came to TV series)- way better than File Factory, etc.
    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
