How to bypass Megavideo 72 minutes limitation

September 13, 2009 / in Howtos /

I’ve got a lot of emails from you asking for a bypass of the Megavideo 72 minutes limitation.

Follow 4 simple steps to get over it and watch how many episodes you wish:

Step 1: Click PLAY button of megavideo episode, click PAUSE and wait for the video to buffer to 100%.
Step 2: After the video is done buffering, go to your menu bar on your browser, and click on File > Work Offline.
Step 3: Enjoy the episode.
Step 4: Unclick the “Work Offline” button and do the same with other episodes.

Turning your modem on and off only works if your ISP has provided you with a dynamic IP address, meaning your IP changes if you turn modem off and on.
you can also wait for video to buffer then work offline, but an even better way is to get the original link to the video and just put +++ at the end of the URL.
this doesnt work on SOME videos though

Yes, you are right, if you have a static IP address it will not work. But thankfully I do not have that problem, so really interuptions for me are only a minute or two. It was just a suggestion for those that do have a dynamic IP address. As the working offline suggestion does not work for me. And for those that do not think this works, then I am sorry, happy waiting is all I can say.

Im sorry if this sounds stupid, but what does it mean to unplug your modem and how do i do it?
Alisah

The modem is the black ADSL box where you get your Internet connection. In the back of this modem is a button on the far left side. If you press the button off then on , wait for all the lights to blink, and refresh the page, the time limit resets and you can watch more.

THANX!
i hate the 72 min limitation
zenanna

Haaahaaahaaa how desperate are we to watch the desperate housewives????
papy

it doesn't work!!!!!
varumba

doesn't work….. i think it even confuses the site further more, as I get that message after 30 min sometimes!
dani

this doesnt work. ive tried it plenty of times. when you buffer the 72minutes is all it buffer for you. it doesnt help you bypass. it pretty much just makes you wait to watch the video buffer then plays until 72minutes even if you turn off the internet. it pretty much will only let you buffer 72minutes and the rest it pretends to have buffered.

You could maybe try to watch on a other pc in your house. So when u watched the 72 min, U go to an other pc
Crystal

I've done this – multiple times and still get the 72 minute limitation…??
evilyn lordi

The best is to go on the website where you can use zshare. zshare doesn't limit anything for anyone

or you could unplug the wire thats what i do.

The best way to get around this problem is to use a firefox add on called Illimitux which removes it and others
Razorphoenix

Yes we get it, this way does not work. Mega-video managed to stop it from working in February, but there are other ways. I usually just use download helper, its a free program that allows you to download pretty much any video from most sites (Cucirca is one of them) as FLv's. All you need is an Flv converter or player and download helper. Very easy. Very simple.
zebadiah

Illimitux sorry people but if you thing Illimitux is the Answer your are not to smart. i used Illimitux before maybe for about 2 months or so. but no matter how menytime you keep redownloading it the problem Remains there is a fucking timer. when the Mega video goes dead your Illimitux will go dead in about 10 minutes after. its stupid.

Now this brings an idea to mind. why not change step 2 and step 4 just alittle bit like so.

now if this idea does not work im sure you can use your own brains to figure out how to keep from complaining to the people trying to help. if someone trys to help you do not Curse at them and call them liers.

Video bandwidth limit exceeded

Your IP address XX.XX.XXX.XXX has temporarily reached its video transfer limit. You can continue watching in a short while.(from MegaVideo site)

Alrighty this brings back an old memory of a Chat Site that i was Blocked from now Mega video has learned that we are getting smart so what they do is block our IP Address for 72 minutes there for we can not do anything not even use Illimitux anymore.

So now that i know the problem it is easyer to help you get unblocked Please if it works Spread the word im not the kind of guy to repeat myself more then 2 times.here is the plan

If you are a Verizon user this may not work for you…

For all Net users there are 3 ways i think that will work for you.

1. turn off your Router and turn it back on for most Net users this will be giving you a new IP address there for unban yourself.

2. Change your IP Address… dont know how? check youtube.

3. if you have Vista go to this link and watch the video by the way its not my video. i highly want a f-in ty for this s–t. this took me good time from My TV shows to look for this.

If none of the Above work there is a Software that is good enough to hide your IP address so know one can tell who you are making it almost imposible for them to ban you. “Hide My IP 5.0″ you can buy it or you can do it the hard way and find a Free Version.

Just restart the router after you reach the limit … refresh the video and it works again!
easy

type in 192.168.0.1 log into your router and disconnect and reconnect. its instant reconnection and you dont need to wait on your router booting up again.

Alternatively from command prompt;
type ipconfig to see current ip address,
type ipconfig /release
type ipconfig /renew
bingo.
psychosangel

I would've tried the 4 easy steps but my browser is Google Chrome…any solutions for that??
STUPID

none of these things work. the thing about the command prompt hasnt worked for a long time
the buffer thing

yea thats retarded i dont know how you think this still works especially the buffer.
Blaat

Use a proxy or create an account. Use torrents or newsgroups to dl episodes.
wahwah

Or you can just pay 9.99 for a membership each month and not have any problems… 9.99 is not a lot to spend to have unlimited views

The work offline don't work for me anymore, still get that 72 min limitation when your offline and i on firefox so i don't get it, why does that happen.
Big PAPPA

It does not work anymore

The LIMIT is now in the flash PLAYER ITSELF. I have not seen this ANYWHERE else, I figured it out the other day.

Load ALL of your videos at the SAME TIME. Do *not* start them. Let them buffer COMPLETELY. Each player will have the SAME time limit. aka if you watched 12 minutes of megavideo before loading the other videos, you have 60 minutes of watch time now on that player. Do not try to buffer any new videos once you do this, it may mess up the player's time. Watch them all, don't refresh, etc. Once you've watched them you'll have a new timer so wait it out and do again. I've done this with TWO videos consecutively and they shut off at the same time (as I had watched a video previously), so good luck. I do not know if it works with more than two.

Also, this disconnecting thing will most likely not work with ~99% of broadband. Broadband has STATIC ips. The timer is in your isp's routers. You have a timer until you reconnect. If you DO NOT reconnect within your isp's disconnection timer, and you reach it, your ip you had goes back into the dhcp ip pool and you get a NEW one once you reconnect. The timer is usually set to HOURS. Also, if you type “ipconfig /renew” or /release in ipconfig and you HAVE and are CONNECTED to a router, it reassigns you an ip FROM the router. It does NOT reset your external (what websites see) ip. It resets your COMPUTER's ip, which it got FROM the router. Computer gets its IP from the router, your router gets its IP from your ISP. Simple. Even if you SET your computer's IP, it will renew after releasing it TO the SAME ip. You CANNOT set your router's IP because it can ONLY be assigned by the ISP and even if it works, it may not have connectivity because the IP you set could be IN USE within elsewhere in the ISP. This is basic networking.

where da heck is work office????

Simply unplug the telephone jack from your modem for two seconds and plug it back in. Refresh your browser page and presto! no more limitation. You have to do this every time the limtation is reached and click forward to the point where the video stop playing

There's a timer in your router, therefore this does now work. Brush up on your networking skills.

Wouldn't work with wireless. You'd need a whole new internet connection, i.e. Two ISP's.
