    So I cant delete anything, trying to delete anything will pop up this plan purchasing dialog box which is quite annoying. My free account max limit is 20GB, this overflowing problem of excess GB can easily be solved by deleting the excess 3GB but mega is not letting it. Their business policy is getting very bad.

    They've also been reducing their download limits for free users. That's why I've been archiving all my mega uploads at 3 GB max lately (>5 GB is what was previously triggering it) - to make sure that a free user can download a full file and then be able to switch IP address with a VPN before Mega blocks them for 24 hours.

    The hosting issue is sorta the Achilles heel of this forum . . . multiple accounts and other strategies are ongoing but the dated / expired hosting links present [temporary] obstacles at times. This does allow "newer" opportunities for those providing mirrors to gain traction within the forum and therefore alleviate constant surveillance of ones' prior OP - but it's a chore - for sure.

    Thanks for pointing out the overflow limit - so one must be careful so as not to exceed it or brick their entire "free" account - which can potentially contain a shit-load of small files (shares) . . . yeah it's shitty - but it's also free; hence, "nothing is free" . . .

    Also was not aware of the 3GB throughput session-limit - - -

    These are all tidbits of info that need to be heeded; especially by new(er) users so as to mitigate frustration . . .

    Create a Group where members can buy tutorials that are less than $200 and after 2 months share it
