How to Bypass Mega Download Limit

Like Google Drive, Mega is one of the most popular and best cloud storage and file hosting service. If you have chosen a free plan on Mega, then you would have a limitation of being able to transfer or download up to 5GB only per day. You would know your available limited quota as Mega shows this on your screen and once you have exceeded this, you would get notified as well. Though, in the past it would take a day before you would be able to download and transfer again, currently, Mega would just ask you to wait for 2 hours only for you to be able to continue with your free plan. If you are in a rush and would need to transfer and download often, you could also subscribe to their paid subscription plans.

How to Bypass Mega’s Daily Download Limits

Use VPN Service

Mega is able to measure your transferring and downloading allowance by tracking your IP address. In other words, Mega would check the amount of data that is being transferred through your IP address. Hence, once it detects that you have exceeded your transfer quota, you will receive a message stating that you will need to wait for 2 hours. By using VPN, you will be able to bypass the transfer quota. There are numerous VPN service providers but we highly recommend NordVPN.

Cloudflare WARP

We often use 1.1.1.1 with WARP by Cloudflare. Cloudflare is a public DNS resolver and WARP works as a VPN. This means by using Cloudflare WARP, you will be able to browse the internet privately. Moreover, you will be able to bypass the transfer and download quota. This platform is offered for free and it is also ad-free.

• Download and install Cloudflare WARP App on your Computer or any device.
• Click on the WARP icon and click on the toggle switch to connect.
• Click on the settings icon
• Ensure that 1.1.1.1 with WARP is checked or selected
• WARP VPN would then be connected
• Reload the MEGA page and try to download the file again.
