Rebirth of Megaupload

[Throndir]

Dunno how many people here follow news related to internets, but Kim Dotcom's service 'Mega' is going live soon. A quick overview is that Megaupload was shut down. Lots of time pass by, and Kim Dotcom (owner of Megaupload) debuts with a new service. Looks like it's going to be a lot better than Megaupload, also look at the huge storage space. I haven't personally tried it yet, but that looks really promising.

Let's just hope it's not shut down again.

Here's an article: http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/mega-launches-early-users-publishes-pricing-premium-accounts-ck-134684

Some excerpts:

As Dotcom tweeted earlier this week, standard accounts will be free, and offer 50GB of free online storage.

That's considerably more than the free allocation offered by rivals such as Dropbox (2GB), Apple's iCloud (5GB) Google Drive (5GB), and Microsoft's SkyDrive (7GB) - although all the services have a raft of promotions on the go, such as the free 50GB Dropbox accounts offered to buyers of Samsung smartphones.

The new service will have a distributed hosting setup, and any file will be stored in at least two locations (and once things get rolling, at least two different countries outside the US). By Dotcom?s account, this setup will guarantee seamless service if a technical glitch hits, or authorities is a particular country target a Mega host.
