MegaUpload Changes

[Koby]

MegaUpload recently changed their web-design as well as a lot of their features, which includes their famous "happy hour". Now instead of being 5 hours every day, it has been cut to only 2 hours only during the week days. On top of that the timing has been changed to 9 am through 11 am UTC.

I live in Texas which is within the Central Timezone, which means "happy hour" for me is now 3 am to 5 am. So to put it short, "happy hour" is now useless for me as I cannot be up at that time for several reasons.

If you are unsure what time "happy hour is at your place check: Wikipedia - Timezones to see what you need to minus or add to the UTC time.

Personally MegaUploads happy hour was the only reason I liked MegaUpload, and now since I can't use it, MegaUpload is now useless for me. I hope they either change the timing, or some other upload site takes over with something similar. However I mainly use torrents now, there is still some stuff I need or want that isn't released via torrents unfortunately.

I may have to look into the $200 lifetime MU membership.. however it's very unlikely I could ever afford it. I also never wish to spend that much just to be able to download, so nope.. I refuse to purchase it.
