Kim Dotcom's new Mega storage service is live


Recommended Posts

How long did it take you guys to receive the confirmation email after registering? It's been a couple of hours already and I haven't received mine yet.

It only took a few minutes for me to receive the email when I signed up yesterday.

At first i was giving them leeway in terms of all the people trying to log in and everyone massively uploading, but now on day 2 and still out, it is kind of not the best first impression. i did log in the site last night and registered and the email was instant but tried to upload a small pic but didn't happen, was "pending" forever so just canceled it. Hopefully Mega gets running smooth in the next week.

Haven't received the confirmation email either, using a hotmail email. Not even in my junk folder. Worked instantly for my gmail though. Starting to seem biased towards google. :o

However after getting a bad signup code: -9 when using the confirmation email's link, it says my password is invalid when logging in and when trying to re-register it says the email is already in use. :(

registered as soon as it was launched, didn't receive my confirmation to hotmail/outlook, assuming servers were being hammered i left it... tried again this morning, still nothing.

tried with gmail, instantly received my notification.

conclusion: outlook can't be trusted, i don't think i'll be using it for anything important.

Is it just me, or do you get better ul speeds using Firefox? With Chrome, max speeds were less then 40KBs. With FF, I get a normal of 60KBs up to 150KBs.

I'm getting the max my connection can upload at in Chrome, 105 KB/sec

After what when down with Megaupload who would store their personal files on this server? NOT ME!

That wasn't their fault it was the fault of the US government. If you want to complain do so with your vote and ask your government to stop bullying people at the behest of it's corporations.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
