Uhm, MEGA-upload and the entire legacy of Kim Dotcom is really shady. I guess this might not be directly related to him any more, but I would still stay clear.

I'm not sure on this but when back on the days that I still using it. I heard that MEGA kind sold to some company on china and the creator of MEGA said that "I won't trust MEGA anymore because of the new shady things they do right now". I might wrong but that's the reason why I don't use it
