Mega constantly freezes for me especially for large files, I literally cannot get this file to download further than 25%. I don't want to download the app, and torrents just simply work faster and better when people are seeding.
I have tried different browsers and even multiple VPNs but mega refuses to let me download files larger than 2-3 gigs.
TBH I think this is a way for them to force people to download the app and I refuse to play that game. There's zero reason that a file sharing host's downloads should have this many problems while also spamming a popup of "Download taking too long? Download the app!" unless it's done on purpose to migrate people to the app. If you google "mega downloads freezing/stopping" you'll see that this is a common issue and I refuse to submit to that kind of manipulation.
I'll upload parts 1 and 2 by the end of the week, and then if anyone wants, they're free to download them and create a torrent containing the 3 parts! We'd be grateful, cause I don't know how to do that right now.
For downloads from archive or streaming sites, I used Jdownloader and usually didn't encounter any crashes, slowdowns or restrictions, especially if they were due to the browser.
