MegaDownloader is a download manager specifically designed to work with links from MEGA, the successor to the famous direct download platform, Megaupload. There is no official link between this application and the company that manages MEGA. Therefore, do not expect any kind of official support when using MegaDownloader.
The main function of this tool is to download multiple links from MEGA in an automated way, preventing the user from having to intervene. Also, it can be used to play videos without prior downloading. This last feature is compatible with all those files hosted in MEGA that have an AVI, MKV, MP4, or similar format. MegaDownloader is also capable of opening DLC files, link containers that will help you add several downloads at once. Finally, its ability to capture links copied to the clipboard automatically, as long as the application is open, is noteworthy.
One of the virtues of MegaDownloader is its ease of use. Just download its installer and open it. Once the installation is complete, you can run this utility thanks to the icon that will have been created on the desktop. Then, use the button pointed out in the image to add new links.
