Important Service Announcement:
Megaupload becomes fairer, faster and introduces Uploader Rewards.
We are glad to implement a new policy, which improves our service quality for the majority of our users: Lately, huge files of very few users were swamping our servers and lines, disturbing the downloads of most users sending normal sized files. Now we are making it fairer by reducing the maximum free file size from 500 MB to 250 MB and leveraging a nominal fee to become a premium member and being able to transfer files of more than 250 MB. This gives most users better performance and faster downloads, while still allowing a few power users to exchange huge files at a megacheap flatrate.
Our new premium membership also allows professional users with less time to transfer files quicker, while home users - having more time and often downloading files all night long - can still enjoy ourfree service.
We hope that you will understand and support our new policy, which is in the interest of the vast majority of Megaupload users.
Today we are also introducing our ground breaking Uploader Rewards. Our new reward program pays money and cash prizes to our uploaders. This makes Megaupload the first and only site on the Internet paying you for hosting your files. The more popular your files, the more you make. Shareware developers, webmasters and file traders: You can now utilize Megaupload to reduce your hosting costs and increase your revenues. Our new, bigger and faster server park is ready for you.
Sincerely, Your Megaupload Team

Why do they use Megaupload?
People use Megaupload because we are simply the best way to get large and small files from one person to another over the Internet.
It eliminates the following problems:
It is more secure than normal e-mail.
You don't have to worry about the size of file and being rejected because their e-mail server won't allow a file that big or their e-mail is full.
If you send a file to several people and discover you forgot someone you don't have to upload the attachment again. Simply send the Megaupload file link to the person you forgot.
The download is the exact file you uploaded and no one had a chance to spoof or replace the file with another. Our servers are secure and after a file is uploaded and you have the link it can be removed but not changed.
Now you are able to e-mail out from an internet cafe, friends PC, or while you're at a company pc. You can easily upload the files from the PC and then download them when you get to your destination.
Stop being shouted at by your friends saying it took forever to get your e-mail attachment and they couldn't receive or send an e-mail until it's completed. Not everyone is on a high speed connection and files get larger everyday. By sending the link people can download your files at their leisure when they are ready.
Eliminate country or domain blocking problems for e-mail. Because of spam more and more companies are implementing new rules about receiving e-mails. It is not uncommon for companies to delete e-mail from certain countries or even domains. If someone can't receive your e-mail just telephone them and give them the file link over the telephone. This will allow them to download the file easily and simply.
Benefits of using Megaupload:
Absolutely free.
No special software or equipment needed.
We won't lose the file and it isn't going anywhere.
Allows download of the file at your convenience.
You can download the file again if you lost it or accidentally deleted it.
The file can't be removed or deleted by anyone but Megaupload.com or yourself.
Megaupload is your free dedicated file hosting service.
A few scenarios of how people are using Megaupload:
Mary, while travelling, can scan her expense receipts and credit card slips, zip them, and upload them to Megaupload. She can then send an e-mail or call her secretary to download the file so her expense report can be submitted and can be reimbursed before she returns in a few weeks. Images of receipts such as car rentals, airlines tickets, and hotel receipts were printed out and attached to the expense report by her secretary. Mary received her reimbursement check sooner and as an added bonus, the nosy mail admin at the company didn't get a chance to preview her attachments to see where she has been.
John, while on vacation in a foreign country, want to temporarily store his photographs. He can upload his photographs to Megaupload and then download the hundreds of photos he shot without having to worry about his e-mail inbox filling up or the photos being lost before he gets home. He can even send the link to friends so they can have a look before he gets back home. The alternative is to upload the digital photos to a picture upload site, but he may find the pictures were deleted if they were considered by them to be inappropriate even if they were password protected.
Bruce, the mortgage banker, routinely uses Megaupload all the time for sending confidential home loan documents to his clients even though he is security paranoid. Bruce knows e-mail isn't safe, so he has always put his documents in a password protected zip file, but he ran into many other problems with e-mail. Sometimes, the clients children deleted the e-mail before the parents got home, the e-mail was too big for their inbox, or the client didn't want his family to know he was refinancing the house to build a pool for the family as a surprise. Bruce worked a simple and easy process to fix his problems. He would zip the files like always, but upload them to Megaupload instead of an e-mail attachment. Then, depending on the client, he would send an e-mail or call them that evening to confidentially give them the Megaupload link to their documents. Bruce no longer has to wait until the client gets home to verify the documents were delivered before he goes home. Bruce now leaves work on time every day but can still serve customers after hours.
If Megaupload is totally free, who pays for the site?
