#19 Help with download from megaupload

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have recently switched from hotfile to megaupload. Can someone tell me how should i go about downloading from megaupload using aria2? i have been using --http-user and --http-passwd combination all along with hotfile and it worked like charm. This doesnt seem to work with megaupload. Pls help.

You need first to get the cookie of Megaupload Premium with wget:

$ wget --save-cookies ~/MEGACOOKIE.txt --post-data "login=1&redir=1&username=MEGAUPLOAD_USER_NAME&password=MEGAUPLOAD_PASSWORD" -O - http://megaupload.com/?c=login > /dev/null

Once obtained the cookie, download with aria:

$ aria2c --load-cookies ~/MEGACOOKIE.txt megaupload_link

Salute.

hi elmohino,

i tried your solution but it still doesn't work.
the cookie-option works fine.
but if i open my megaupload-link in firefox, i got a "buffer-page" which shows me the link to the download-file. and thats the same page, aria2c shows me, if i try to download it.

may it be aria2c cant recognize and follow the second link ?

My apologies. I was forget to say a option: BEFORE to download with aria2 and the cookie is mandatory to ENABLE, in your Megaupload Premium account, the option:

'My account>Transfer settings>Direct downloads"

Salute.
