MEGA - Transfering

[Bonnie20402]

Quick question. I'm doing a MEGA to OneDrive transfer. Once the MEGA hits the transfer rate limit, is the transfer going to stop? I DO NOT WANT to bypass anythig, just want to know if the system waits 'till I am allowed to download again and continues by itself. If not, is there a way? Or just transfer 5GB per 5GB of files?

hello and welcome to the forum,

@Bonnie20402

Once the MEGA hits the transfer rate limit

what is that transfer limit?

[Bonnie20402]

Thanks!
I believe it is 5GB or 10GB per x hours, per IP.
I just want to know if I can leave it doing its business overnight without stoppages.

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

there are a few ways

1. limit the bandwidth --bwlimit
2. limit the amount of data transferred --max-transfer-size

[Bonnie20402]

Could use that, but it'd stop anyway right?

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

1. does not stop, continues to run at the specified speed.
2. does stop once the transfer size is reached.

after some Try it Yourself™ testing it does not stop downloading just keeps "downloading" at 0kb/s which is what I wanted. It eventually after the limit "resumes" downloading again (gets speed). Amazing.

Try it Yourself™ testing

yeah, that is the way to go.

@Bonnie20402

eventually after the limit "resumes" downloading again

i could be wrong but that seems strange to me?
what command did you run?

@Bonnie20402

after the limit

what exactly is that limit??
