A word on browsers
January 18th 2013
MEGA pushes the browser to its limits, and these limits vary. While it does work with all major current browsers, there are some weighty feature and performance differences:
Google Chrome: The leading browser, by far. It implements the proposed HTML5 FileSystem API, allowing for fancy features such as recursive folder uploads and efficient downloads. Caveats: Requires user permission to batch-write files after a few unattended completed downloads (for security reasons, and only once per session). Slightly anaemic text rendering.
Internet Explorer 10: A solid, modern browser with blazing JavaScript performance (even exceeding Chrome's). However, until Microsoft fixes a memory leak in the Blob saving functionality, you have to close and reopen the MEGA tab every couple of hundred megabytes of inbound file transfer. And, until Microsoft implements disk-based Blobs or Chrome's FileWriter API, memory usage for a file download peaks at twice the file's size - hardly efficient.
Mozilla Firefox 18: Carefully avoids providing any API that would allow writing files from JavaScript.
Safari 6: No JavaScript file writing, either.
Internet Explorer 9: Lacks all essential features required for MEGA: File I/O, Web Workers, ArrayBuffers, and binary cross-domain HTTP access. Nice text rendering, though.
Opera: No JavaScript file writing and exceedingly slow JavaScript crypto operations.
Conclusion: If you are planning on using MEGA frequently, there is currently no alternative to using the most advanced browser currently in existence - Google Chrome.

Ik ben best onder de indruk van MEGA.
Ik heb net een bestand van 100 MB (zonder account) geupload en gedownload met Firefox zonder extensie, dus het werkt prima.
Met extensie zal wel beter zijn met grotere bestanden.
En dan 50 GB, niet slecht.
Edit: oh ja,
tijdens uploaden lijkt het alsof hij maar 1 core gebruikt voor encryptie. Kan ook aan mijn uploadsnelheid hebben gelegen, want downloaden ging wel op volle snelheid.
Nou maar wachten op Brein die deze site ook gaat blokkeren natuurlijk.
@Damic: als je de links gaat delen natuurlijk worden de bestanden openbaar. Maar de vraag is of MEGA dit wel toestaat want het volgende staat er als je een link maakt:
Copyright warning: MEGA respects the copyrights of others and requires that users of the MEGA cloud service comply with the laws of copyright.

Ze vinden het dus toch niet zo leuk en zullen dan waarschijnlijk je account blokkeren.
