Kim Dotcom's New Mega Service

I haven't tried since yesterday. Kim's twitter posts were showing the site getting SLAMMED, which is to be expected with all the press around it.

Open up Google Chrome, download it if you don't have it. Then go here: »mega.co.nz . Enjoy :)

I have Google Chrome, but when I follow your link and try to go to »mega.co.nz/ , I get a SSL connection error (Error 107).

Doesn't work in Chrome or Firefox right now, regardless of HTTPS.

Works for me: Windows 8; IE 10

Had to reload to get it to work

I got it to work with both FF18 and Chrome with a little luck.

Was working fine yesterday, i got in within the first hour. Now it seems to be completely down due to demand.

I found the key to success but somebody changed the lock.

"They can't blame me for the actions of third parties. Megaupload was a dual-use technology. You can use it for good things, and you can use it for bad things. If someone sends something illegal in an envelope through your postal service, you don't shut down the post office. If someone speeds with the car he just bought, you don't go to the car manufacturer and say, hey, we're shutting you down."

I used mega.co.nz. The issue right now is just very high demand, so access is going to be intermittent. They just weren't ready for the demand. Probably should have spent more money on server capacity and less on the Opening ceremony! (I liked the Maori singers though).

Eureka! Success at last! After a couple of dozen tries, I finally managed to get through to the Mega site and register an account.

Now I would like to know how exactly do they collect “entropy from your mouse movements and keystroke timings”?

BTW, I enjoyed the singers as well!

reply to AndrewW
Well the site loads at least, but I still can't actually log in.

I was able to register last night at around 2:30am MST, but since then I was able to actually load the website.

It is 4:44pm MST and still not able to log in to see the actual backside of it

I'm in the same boat right now. When I tried to create a folder within Mega, it completely stalled my session. Since I closed and then reopened my browser, I have been unable to log back in. Worse yet through Chrome I get only the cogs turning when trying to load the site. Through Mozilla, it just stalls when I try to log in using my newly created credentials. Hopefully it will become usable in the not too distant future.

reply to AndrewW
Registered (finally) OK. Logged in (finally) OK.

Tried to upload a test file around 400MB. Said free account is limited to 50MB. And it didn't like my browser.

Tried uploading the same file with Firefox. Didn't object to the browser or size this time, but the upload failed anyway.

They keep pushing Chrome as the only acceptable browser. Hope all this is just start up pains.

Where is the pricing?

Figured a pic is worth a slow web site or a thousand words which ever comes first........

reply to AndrewW
wow they wasted no time going after him again. After spending so many crazy millions to go after this guy the industry can not afford to let him win. They spent so much going after him and making sure it was huge news so if they lose it will set them back big time in their eyes.

Rather than they, it looks like one guy is going after Kim by trying to cut off Kim's access to any payment system. I doubt this guy will be successful in shutting down Mega. Mega and even Megaupload's business models are/were both sound from a copyright infringement perspective. Remember it was Kim's alleged extracurricular activity which got him and some of his pals into trouble the first time around.
