MEGA: "Temporary error"

Download interrupted for an unknown reason

MEGA shows this during a download when the exact cause is not known yet. It can be a problem on MEGA's side or something cutting your link to its servers.

Is MEGA down right now? Operational: 0 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this error could come from there; right now it looks normal.

Fix it
