  its cause of the stupid way mega downloads file to your ram, and only when its fully downloaded does it get moved to a file or something along those lines, its been a while since i’ve looked into it.

    lame, hopefully they fix that some time. otherwise their service is pretty great, and for most downloads that isnt an issue

      Like I said, its intentional. Nothing to fix because its doing exactly what they want. Cause they want you to install the app, which they have much greater control over and ability to harvest from.

        chrome doesnt have this restriction is why i think its not as slimy as that, and why i don’t have the app since i just paste the link into chrome lol

        sounds more like they designed it around chrome and didnt take firefoxes differences into account, and have yet to fix it because in the grand scheme of things it’s a small issue
