Reload this webpage later.
Check your Internet connection. Restart any router, modem, or other network devices you may be using.
Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the Chrome menu > Settings > Show advanced settings... > Change proxy settings... > LAN Settings and deselect the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox.
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

mleh, might try again in a bit...

Odd beta. Had to refresh it a few times for it to open.

Izzy · 01-19-2013, 11:27 PM

I was able to upload files a bit ago. I guess they finished getting things sorted out.

Edit: Or not, guess it is just inconsistent. I'll wait until tomorrow morning to try again.

Here is the picture I uploaded if you want to download it =)

this will probably be the only website in which I actually read the terms of service

Apparently the username thing isn't really a username. It isn't used for anything and isn't even unique.

Did anyone else watch that mega launch live broadcast last night?

James May · 01-20-2013, 09:21 AM

hmm...looks like no speed at all in the uploading apparently...is it normal for the account first starting off?

**MarioNintendo** · 01-20-2013, 01:11 PM

Won't open for me

**Crazyjayde** · 01-20-2013, 01:25 PM

Same for me. Though it might be because the server is not accessible in our region since we're both in QC. I'm getting "Server Not Found" message.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Megaupload but I'm not too fond of the context in which Mega has been promoted. After all this affair, it's obvious licensers and content owners will be vigilant to Kim Dotcom activity (might also say law enforcement organizations but I'm not too sure as to how this situation concerns them anyway, as their permission to interact has been a conflicting debate throughout the last years). Although their policy and ways of handling user content has been revised, I'm still on the hold about the future state of the site.

I bet it's because its blowing up on the internet right now, and servers are tying to keep up. I'd say give it time.

**Bluearrowll** · 01-20-2013, 02:01 PM

Site does not work for me on IE or Chrome.

On Chrome I get the following message:

SSL connection error
Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.

Differences to Megaupload

-Previously users had to wait 45 seconds before they could download a file. Mega removed this.
-Free users will get 50 GB of free storage space
-Total bandwidth will be limited, from 1 to 8 TB per month, for paid accounts. Free account bandwidth is not currently disclosed.

Wow.

**gnr61** · 01-21-2013, 01:02 PM

that's such an awkward article lol. he never convincingly explains at all what made the event so overwrought and embarrassing, aside from saying how overwrought and embarrassing it was over and over with some lame similes (omg that music they were playing sounded like it could have been in berlin!). and kim's a wacky character all right but nothing quoted from him in the article suggests any of the messianic revolutionary crap the author said

2/10

Izzy · 01-21-2013, 01:26 PM

I watched the event live and it was a pretty funny event. Not that it was comedic or anything, but just the whole exaggerated importance thing was entirely on purpose and all of the people there who were taking it seriously pretty much got trolled irl.

As for the service itself, I hope they get their servers sorted out so we can start using it. The only embarrassing thing is having a launch and then having your product not work.

Anyone know what this means? I got it right after I confirmed my email.

"Your 2048-bit RSA public / private key pair is now being created.
To strengthen the key, we have collected entropy from your mouse movements and keystroke timings."

Dunno, but I'm looking at that right now.

edit: Took 30 minutes.
