History

Megaupload is an online Hong Kong-based company established in 2005 for the use of uploading and downloading files. It includes a video browsing section in the site Megavideo as well as a sister company called Megaporn (formerly Megarotic) which hosts uploaded pornographic content, but provides no free services.

Usage

The basic service is available for free and allows users to upload files of up to 1 GB. Free users cannot download files larger than 1 GB, however. Free registered users are offered 200 GB of total file storage. Premium users have unlimited file storage. After a successful file upload, the user is given a unique URL which allows others to download the file. Any file uploaded anonymously will expire if there are no downloads for at least 21 days. For free registered accounts, the file expiration period is 90 days. Premium accounts have no expiration period as long as the user remains a premium member. Users must fill a text-based CAPTCHA when downloading a file. Non-registered users have to wait 45 seconds in the download queue and a certain amount of time between transfers after a certain number of megabytes had been downloaded. Registered users have to wait 25 seconds in the download queue.

Note that even paying members do not get a direct hotlink for non-paying members to download. Non-members trying to download an uploaded file are forced to MegaUpload's site and have to wait 45 seconds to initiate a download.

Criticism

Megaupload Toolbar is claimed to redirect users to a custom error page when a 404 error occurs in the user's browser. It is also claimed to contain spyware. The custom pages, however, can be disabled only in Internet Explorer, not in Mozilla Firefox even if the correct configuration is made. However, FBM software asserts that the Megaupload toolbar is free of spyware. Although its incorporation is in Hong Kong, the company does not operate in Hong Kong. Users with Hong Kong IPs have been banned since 2009. Not even the homepage was accessible by them. Any purchased premium accounts will still be able to access the Megaupload site in Hong Kong until the last membership day. Some third party download managers can circumvent this, for example, the Megamanager. Access to Megaupload has been intermittently blocked by the internet authorities in Saudi Arabia. This information is current as of May 23, 2010. Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission is responsible for regulating the internet and for hosting a firewall which blocks access to thousands of websites, mainly due to sexual and political content. Megavideo has also been blocked in the United Arab Emirates due to pornographic content being accessible through the service.
