This sort of error is specific to the user. It can be difficult to shake. Try restarting your browser, then if it still happens, restart your PC. If it still continues, try restarting your router. If that doesn't work, then I suspect if you try tomorrow, it'll work.

I have had that problem as well from time to time. The way I corrected it, was to change the port settings, from your options at the bottom of the page. Log-out, and log back in.

That worked for me.

i get it a lot, i dont have a router as i game with my rig. tryed allsorts, now i think its down to my antimalware apps.

Sorted it for this time.

Found that right clicking then "Open in New TAB" seems to work.

Hope others find that useful.

How come a lot of the files I try to download from 'Megaupload' are always unavailable?

Just keep trying dont stop until it finally works. Trust me Matey.....

It tends to happen with the larger files, You just have to keep checking.

Also try emptying your cache/cookies

I've been having the same problem. Just keep trying - you'll get them eventually.

Yes getting the same message & can't d/load anything from Megaupload.

Have tried logging in & out. Router on and off. That's about as technical as I get

There's nothing you can do about it. I posted this info yesterday elsewhere; Both Megaupload & Filesonic were added to the IWF list a few days ago. This means that people whose ISP (e.g. O2, Be Unlimited) have subscribed to the IWF list won't be able to download from MU or Filesonic until your ISP sorts out a resolution (that doesn't involve proxies which cause their customers to appear to all have the same IP address) or IWF take them off the list. The same happened with Hotfile a few weeks ago and it took 2+ weeks to resolve. Out of interest, which ISP are you with?
