Megaupload country slots - (re)hacked ^_^

If you are one of those who occasionally download stuff from megaupload, chances are that you have already stumbled on the nasty error message stating that your country had no free download slot for the moment.
The issue is, unfortunately, quite common in countries like Mauritius.

Sure, until recently, there was the nifty user agent extension for firefox, which could simulate the megaupload toolbar being installed, and allowed you to download from MU. However, since mid august 07 it seems that megaupload have updated their toolbar, making the user agent switchers kind of useless.

However, there is still a breach. Indeed, the country slot thingie can still be bypassed. Here is how to do it.

Note: These instructions are for Mozilla firefox, but if you know how to use greasemonkey scripts in opera, it will also work. however please note that I do not know how to do it and thus will in no way be able to help you if you are using opera.

Now let`s go )

First thing you`ll need is the greasemonkey firefox extension. if you do not already have it, grab it here.

After the installation, come back here, and download My megaupload user script. You should be prompted to install a user script. You can view the source code if you want.

After installing the script, just go to megaupload.com to initialise the script.

Tadaa, now when you click a megaupload download link, you should normally be able to download your files ^_^

please note that the user agent extension is not required for this to work ^_^

Very special thanks Leo-kun and Mj-chan, without whom i probably wouldn`t have worked this out )

Technical info, For the geeks D

So, wondering what is behind this trick? Simple. In fact, the new megaupload toolbar does indeed append something to the browser`s user agent string, but it seems to be just a decoy, as the site does not check the User agent.

One more thing the toolbar does is create two cookies, and these are what the megaupload site searches for. Thus, the solution was to fake those cookies, and this is just what that script above does. Want to take a look at the source? here it is:

// ==UserScript==
// @name Megaupload 2.0
// @include *megaupload*
// ==/UserScript==

function Cookie(name,value,days) {
if (days) {
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = “; expires=”+date.toGMTString();
}
else var expires = “”;
document.cookie = name+”=”+value+expires+”; path=/”;
}

Cookie(’megauploadtoolbar_visibility’, ‘yes’, 7);
Cookie(’megauploadtoolbar_id’, ‘197A9F07D8724E438DEBE1C11EBBE405′, 7);

As you see, the script uses a function to create the the two cookies. this is done on going to megaupload.com (hence the initialisation step above.) Thus, if you do not plan to delete your cookies , after this step you could delete the script and it would still work ^_^

Here you are me friends ^_^ again my greatest thanks to Mj and Leo. And oh, the functions above? lol gnu gpl 2 ^_^ (joking of course… lol )

EDIT:

Thanks to Ahmed-max who gave a solution for opera users ) so here goes:

  1. type “about:config” into your address bar
  2. go to isp
  3. input ” ‘197A9F07D8724E438DEBE1C11EBBE405′, 7 ” and push save.

This should do the trick. I haven’t tested it though, i will asap P



Stylish addon for firefox

Have you ever stumbled on an interesting site, but wondered whether the author couldn`t have made those fonts bigger? or what about these pages with colours unfriendly with the sensitive eyes? (Bright green on white = yuck! )
Also, what if you could make those annoying ads transparent?

Now, imagine you could customise any site`s css rendering according to your personal tastes and needs, does that sound to be a plausible solution?

Well, actually it really is, and that is what the stylish addon is for. With this nifty tool on your firefox, (or lolifox, sectarism against minorities is bad, even more when i personally am part of the minority ) lol ) you will be able to create custom css for any site you visit, and you can even use css to customise your browser`s interface! D Furthermore, you can even create global styles which apply to every site you visit.

However, you need some knowledge of css to create user styles. fear not however if you do not know any css. there is an online repository at userstyles.org where users contribute their styles for free D

link to download extension is HERE

ready made userstyles can be found HERE

Also, if you are planning to create your own user styles for specific sites, i highly recommend downloading the web developer extension too, so that you can easily identify the css class of objects on a page.

damn, with greasemonkey for javascript this trio forms the ultimate combo for a customised web experience! D

Now some pics of what i have till now:

Please don`t be offended if i took your site as an example. its not that i don`t like your design choices, just that i needed a site as an example D
