MEGA is a very popular cloud file hosting service for two reasons: it maximizes your Internet download speed and gives you up to 50 GB free to store files in the cloud. However, it has a problem and that is the download limit. MEGA can suddenly stop downloading a file because you have run out of transfer quota.
The official solution to this error is the MEGA paid subscription, which does not actually remove the limit, but rather extends it so that you do not use up the transfer quota so often. But don’t worry, there are many ways to remove the free MEGA download limit . On Android you can remove the download limit of MEGA with VPN and on PC you can use the JDownloader method. But… what if neither works for you? Here we bring you a third method that does not require a VPN or proxy.
