Well it wouldn't surprise me if it's just getting hammered then.

The initial load will be CRAZY. We expect millions of visitors in the first hour. Might affect performance. Let's see

Offering a free 50GB to everyone doesn't really matter anyway. Just how many people are going to use all that? I'm currently using 1.2GB of my 26GB dropbox space.

I keep extra copies of photos and stuff in the cloud. Using about 20GB of 25GB on Skydrive.

It's open now, just tried the drag and drop upload and speeds are terrible but that's to be expected in the first few minutes i guess

Skillmister · 19 Jan 2013 at 17:53

edit: loads in incognito mode so no idea what is actually going on but i get Access Denied in normal chrome

I'm using 25/27GB of my Skydrive, thinking about upping my storage again tbh

Wow. I have never seen anything like this. From 0 to 10 Gigabit bandwidth utilization within 10 minutes.

That link works though, cheers.

Whoever has the mega.com url must be a bit peed off, their site is down because of people trying to get onto dotcom's new site

Must be a backlog of confirmation emails been waiting half an hour.

I'm still getting my little spinning ball of death here while waiting after I clicked the register button.

Magic_x_uk · 19 Jan 2013 at 19:02

Anyone know how this works ( I have registered ) just waiting on my 1st file to upload.

You can add contacts. But I was just curious.
If I take a load of photo. Then want to share a certain folder with people. How do I link it for them?
