Mega, formerly Megaupload, is one of the best cloud storage and file hosting service.
It offers free file downloading of up to 5GB per day. i.e. 150GB per month and 20 GB of free storage with its free storage plan.
This means if you are downloading something for free from then after 5GB you will face mega free download limit.
You are first warned with a “limited available transfer quota” message. And if click continue download then you will get a message, “Transfer quota exceeded,”.
Now, either you will have to wait for the next day to complete the download after the exceeded quota or you can look for options to bypass Mega download limit.
Since Mega uses IP addresses to impose download limits and restrictions, changing IP can help bypass Mega restrictions for free.
Let us bypass Mega download limits for free with apps that act as a standard download manager.
We will also show a way on How to download mega files without limit without using a VPN.
How To Bypass Mega Download Limit
1. Use VPN To Bypass Mega Limit
If you cannot use a Mega downloader or WARP then a good VPN is the way to go.
A VPN lets you use the benefit of geo-location, meaning you can appear to be connected from different places around the world with different IP addresses.
This way you can bypass Mega download limits with ease and never have to worry about hitting the traffic quota limit ever.
All you need is to connect to a VPN with a fresh IP address and then visit the Mega download link to download. If it shows the same “Transfer quota exceeded” then consider clearing browser cookies.
If you can’t spend money on a VPN then we recommend Proton VPN’s free plan to get started. It provides enough data to get through the day.
You can always use the incognito or private mode of the browser for fresh download sessions.
