The Complex World of CP and Megalinks: Understanding the Implications
Large files (>1 GB) fail without a login
| Situation | Solution | |-----------|----------| | | Log in with mega-login first, or split the file into smaller chunks before uploading. | | Download stalls | Use --limit-rate to throttle, or add --retry 5 to auto‑retry. | | You only have a folder link | Use mega-get <folder‑URL> ; it will recreate the folder hierarchy. | | Need to resume an interrupted download | mega-get automatically resumes if the partially‑downloaded file is present in the same path. | | Copying across filesystems (e.g., to a USB drive) | Add -v to cp to watch progress; if you need speed, consider rsync -a --progress . | | Avoid clutter in your home directory | Always specify a dedicated download directory ( --path /tmp/mega or --path "$TMPDIR" ). | | Running on headless servers | Use mega-login --session /path/to/session to load a saved session token without interactive prompts. |
At the receive site, the Megalink decoder converts the IP stream back to SDI or ASI for injection into the existing broadcast infrastructure. cp+megalink
The Bottom Line
The only effective "CP" left is legal deterrence—the threat of jail time for the person who uploads the link, not technological blocks against the link itself. As long as encryption exists, the MegaLink will remain the ultimate workaround for copy protection. The Complex World of CP and Megalinks: Understanding
