MegaDownloader Changelog

What's new in MegaDownloader 1.8

Jun 24, 2020
  • Recently, MEGA made some changes and new links appear with a new format.
  • Instead of:
  • https://mega.nz/#!FILE_ID!FILE_KEY
  • new links have the format:
  • https://mega.nz/file/FILE_ID#FILE_KEY
  • This caused Megadownloader not to recognize the new links.
  • A manual workaround was possible, by modifying the links manually.
  • Version 1.8 has corrected this issue and now it supports files (and folders) in the new format.
