| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Server overload or your IP is hitting rate limits. | Wait 30-60 minutes. Use a VPN to change IP or upgrade to Pro for higher quotas. | | "The file you are trying to download is no longer available" | The uploader deleted the file, or their account was terminated. | Contact the link provider. The file is gone permanently. | | "Decryption key missing" | You only have half the link (the ID without the #key ). | Ask the sender for the full link, or the key separately. | | Download stops at 99% (Browser) | Browser cache full or extension conflict. | Clear browser cache. Use the MEGA Desktop App instead of the web browser. | | "Bandwidth limit exceeded" | MEGA’s free transfer quota (usually ~5GB per 6 hours) is exhausted. | Wait for quota to reset. Use a VPN to change IP. Or ask a Pro user to import then download. | | Folder link says "Folder no longer available" | The folder link was revoked or deleted. | No recovery possible. | Advanced Tip: Importing vs. Downloading If a link is "bandwidth limited," you cannot download it directly. However, if you have a MEGA free account, you can "Import to your Cloud Drive" . This copies the file to your account without using the sender's bandwidth. Then, you download it from your own account (using your quota). This is a classic workaround. MEGAnz Links vs. The Competition How do MEGAnz links stack up against other popular sharing methods?
