Megavideo Time Limit Solutions

Posted by Froy at 06:53 PM on December 03, 2008

As you may have noticed, megavideo has started a new policy wherein after watching an hour long video you'll have to wait for 2 hours before you can view more material. I am not yet sure if this is a temporary or permanent policy.

Some quick fix are as follows:

1. Start button then Run, type CMD
2. On the command prompt type: ipconfig /release, wait for a few seconds, type: ipconfig /renew, type: ipconfig /flushdns, type: ipconfig /refresh

or

After you watch the 1 hour of megavideo, Unplug your modem or router..wait 30-60 secs and then you will be able to watch the video again.

If you do not like constantly unplugging your modem or router, try using this program [link]

Another option would be to use proxies:

For FireFox

Go to Tools_Options_Advanced_Network_Press "Settings"_Choose "Manual proxy Configuration"_Input the IP and the Port which you selected_Check "Use this proxy server for all protocols"_Press "OK"

For Internet Explorer

Go to Tools_Internet Options_Go to "Connections" Tab_Press the "LAN Settings" found at the bottom_In the "Proxy Server" Area, Check "Use Proxy Server for your LAN" the place where you input your proxy IP and port will be enabled_Input your chosen proxy IP and port_Check "Bypass proxy server for local addresses_Press "OK"

Proxy list [link]

Lastly, try downloading real player, it should allow you to download and play any flash video (compatible with IE browser)

I know its troublesome but please be patient and lets all hope they'll remove this policy sooner or later.

Note: IE7+ is fine however, IE6 and older versions of IE does not fully support the current layout and will not display the background properly.
