MegaUpload is a file hosting service like Rapidshare, and with a Premium Account you can upload and download unlimited amounts of traffic during the subscription period. Here is the link to MegaUpload's page with subscription benefits:

I normally buy 3 months (normally €14.99) from the reseller for €18.80, which converts to AU$24.85 via Paypal.
Using the reseller, you can now get 2 years for €54.80 which works out at €2.28/mth
ALL THE PRICES:
1 month normally €14.99 - now 2 MONTHS for €13.80
3 month normally €19.99 - now 6 MONTHS for €18.80
1 year normally €59.99 - now 2 YEARS for €54.80
2 years normally €79.99 - now 4 YEARS for €74.80
Lifetime normally €199.99 for €178.80 << EDIT - DO NOT BUY THIS ONE - IT IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS. It just doubles the bonus, it does NOT give you 2 x Lifetime memberships.
HOW TO USE THIS DEAL:
Pay via Paypal Only. You buy from MegaUploadVouchers and get a voucher code emailed back to you. You then enter that voucher into this webpage: http://www.megaupload.com/redeem/, and that extends your subscription accordingly. It's never failed for me, very fast (10 seconds) and reliable.
EDIT TO ADD - THERE ARE REPORTS IN THIS THREAD OF DELAYS GETTING THE VOUCHERS. I am checking why this is happening, but I assume that it's because they are manually processed and the people are completely swamped with business.
WHAT IS THIS? SOME BACKGROUND & MORE INFO:
If you've never used a proper file hosting service for uploading and downloading, you don't what you are missing out on. I am pulling down a consistant 8MB/sec to 10MB/sec using Optus Cable (speedpack) and 10 or 12 download threads at once.
Even a single file is coming down at over 1MB/sec - of course this is limited by your own internet connection, but it's usually heaps faster than the typical speeds of other hosting methods, especially Peer-based ones. Plus it's very reliable and less likely to have "bad stuff", and the downloads are resumable.
Anyway, if you already use this kind of service and understand what it's for, it's a massive saving. If you don't understand, or if you prefer to use other services then that is fine too. For people like me who subscribe to use it anyway, this is a great deal.
so where is this magical place samfisher5986, please tell us! (PM me if you don't want to post here) thanks!
