Are any of you good people having issues with MEGA? I've always found MEGA to be a bit temperamental, but recently I've been having nothing but headaches trying to d/l anything using MEGA links. Mostly the d/l hangs, usually at 99%. Everything I d/l using MEGA takes 2 or 3 attempts before I get it, sometime a reboot is needed. I'm d/l things from various sites daily using many different file hosts, and everything is fine with all the others. So how about the rest of you, are you also experiencing similar issues with MEGA?

 A Message To All The People Who Download From The Music Blogs But Never Say Thank You

Today I downloaded an album from one of the many music sharing blogs I visit, and as usual left a brief comment saying thank you, then lo and behold 30 minutes later there was an email from the blog owner giving me the link to a rare live bootleg from his private stash.

Also some time ago on another blog I frequently visit and download many jazz albums (and always leave a comment saying thanks) unexpectedly I was sent a Blogger invite to a private blog where jazz aficionados share rare albums. I had no idea this blog even existed but by leaving comments saying thanks I got noted by this private group and invited into their circle.

So you see, by remaining silent and just taking, never saying thanks, you actually do yourselves a disservice. Because when you lurk silent in the background nobody ever gets to know your name, or gets to know what your tastes are, so you get left behind when new things happen or blogs suddenly go private for whatever reason.
