Do you still need to use Megaupload Proxy to bypass Megaupload?

I think most of you who lives in a 3rd world country knew that Megaupload probably the strangest file sharing website ever on the web because most of the time you won’t be able to download from their website because of the slot limitation given to your country even if the file you’re going to download is your own file that is just uploaded a few minutes ago … and of course i experienced this myself too. But what do you need in order to bypass the slot limitation of megaupload?

The first way of doing this is using a proxy to bypass megaupload limitation, and of course i’ve used it in the past although it’s been quite a while before i switched to another method

The second way and probably the easiest way to bypass megaupload slot limit of course is by installing Megaupload Toolbar into your browser, and it is legal of course unless you’re just like me and don’t like their toolbar after testing it on a virtual machine, and that means you need to get another trick up your sleeve in order to bypass megaupload

The third way of doing this (and currently i’m using this trick too) is simply by using a greasemonkey script that makes your browser pretends to have megaupload toolbar installed (megaupload , but since that script can only be used on Firefox and Opera based browser, i don’t know on how to do this if you are using Internet Explorer as your browser (or if you really want to use the greasemonkey script all you have to do is just download opera and or firefox and only use it to download files from megaupload) .. and of course this is the method that i’m going to explain instead of the above two ;)

Step on how to do it:

If you are using Firefox:

1. Install the Greasemonkey extension for your firefox browser and then restart your browser – Link
2. Download the Megaupload Cookie Injection Script – Link (the filename is megaupload-ck-inject.user.js)
3. When you see this message just choose to install it … or you can also take a look at the script source if you want … and done

If you are using Opera:

1. Download the Megaupload Cookie Injection Script – Link (the filename is megaupload-ck-inject.user.js)
2. Make a directory somewhere for script so Opera can load it as userjs and move that file into the newly created directory (for example C:\OperaUserJS)
3. Now go to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced Tab -> Content -> Javascript Options … and then adjust the Opera userjs directory accordingly as shown at below image for an example and your done :)

Now you can bypass the megaupload slot limitation for your country, so why do you need to use a megaupload proxy if you use this? (well perhaps this method will become obsolete in the future when there are too many users using this method but at least for now i can still use this method to bypass megaupload) :P

But as a side note, if you’re using UserJS and / or greasemonkey script i’d suggest you to take a look into the script source first because if you’re installing a script from some unknown source you’ll be in trouble later

And finally to those who are wondering how the script looks like here’s the code (note: i didn’t create this script, so full credits goes to WinterMute for creating this)

// Megaupload Cookie
// (c) Wintermute 2007

// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// This is a Greasemonkey user script.

// To install, you need Greasemonkey: http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/
// Then restart Firefox and revisit this script.
// Under Tools, there will be a new menu item to "Install User Script".
// Accept the default configuration and install.
//
// To uninstall, go to Tools/Manage User Scripts,
