File sharing

[peterpowerpop]

Not a winge so much as a cry for help...

I've been using Mega.nz for file-sharing for the last umpteen years and have had no problem at all.

Unfortunately, now when I finish uploading a file it tells me it's at 100% but it doesn't actually finish uploading. It's stuck at 100%.

While I try to figure out what's happening with Mega.nz, I have a pile of files still to upload and I'm on the lookout for a new file-sharing service where I can upload large files.

I've tried MediaFire, but it doesn't support interrupted uploads the way Mega.nz does.

I've also looked at Zippyshare, but it doesn't allow individual files over 500 MB.

Help!

Hi Peter

I have noticed that some hosts say it is 100% uploaded but it is actually still doing its stuff in the background. 

Try opening MEGA up in another TAB, and then look at the FILE listing to see if it has actually uploaded.  If not then give it a few minutes and then refresh

Another thing - have you got  sufficient storage space remaining to accommodate the file (MEGA normally tells you when you're close to maxing out)

Otherwise, not sure what is going on. My account seems to be working fine.

The only other alternative (with no storage limits) is Workupload.com , although you need to alter the expiry date on your files every so often - but don't be greedy by putting in crazy dates as this pi$$e$ them off (I had my account wiped once because of this!)

Good luck

Thanks, Guy.

This 100%-uploaded-but-not-really thing with Mega.nz has only happened in the last week.

Way back when I started using Mega.nz, I originally had a 20 GB free account. When it filled up, I simply created another 20 GB free account using a different email address (thanks to Blur). At last count, I think I've had about 20-30 Mega.nz accounts. It's only this latest one where the uploading nonsense has occurred.

I've uploaded one file on my latest Mega.nz account and am halfway through a second one.

I'll wait until they're both (supposedly) uploaded, give it about an hour, log out, log back in, and then see what's what.

Onward and upward!
