Many file hosts on the Internet add time limits and captchas to their websites. Some say those are only added to annoy the hell out of non premium users so that they buy premium accounts to avoid those hassles. Megaupload makes use of a time limit that is displayed after entering the captcha on the file download page of the file host. The time limit usually ranges between 25 and 45 seconds which the user has to wait before the download link becomes active.
The add-on MU Bundle for the web browser Firefox gets rid of the time limit at the Megaupload website. It will also initiate the download of the file automatically without user input. The process in its entirety looks like the following: The user opens a page on the Megaupload website that will initiate a file download. A captcha is displayed which has to be completed to process. Everything after this step becomes automatic thanks to the Firefox add-on.
The time limit will be skipped instantly. The next page contains download links for regular and premium users. The add-on will automatically initiate a non premium download of the file at the file hoster’s website. This will spawn a download window which can be used to save the file on the local computer system.
The add-on for the web browser Firefox is currently rated as experimental which means that an account at the official Mozilla website is required to download and install it.
Update: The add-on has been discontinued. A solid alternative is the desktop downloader JDownloader.

Thank For tips !
It would be nice if you include something like “(Firefox)” in the tile of this article; those of us that do not use nor intend to use the browser need not waste time viewing the article.
@Q: I imagine that’s one reason for Martin having tagged the article as relating to Firefox, and placing it in his Browsing and Firefox sections
Thanks for this great tip
