To use a proxy with MegaBasterd:
You can now maintain a persistent blacklist for proxies that return errors (e.g., 429, 503). Conversely, high-performance proxies can be pinned or “trusted” for priority use. This is saved across sessions, making repeated downloads more efficient.
To get a working list, you must look at aggregators that update frequently. Here are the most reliable sources: proxy list megabasterd new

Do not waste time on Google’s first page results from 2022. You need real-time sources. Here are the best methods to source a new list for Megabasterd. | Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | "Connection
Megabasterd works by exploiting the way MEGA’s cloud storage delivers data. While effective, MEGA actively monitors traffic patterns. If a single IP address (your home internet connection) requests too much data too quickly, MEGA slaps a temporary ban or a "bandwidth exceeded" error on that IP.
For a user downloading a 50GB file, this is a nightmare. The solution? Proxies. Free Proxy Aggregators: Websites that scrape and publish
By routing your download through a proxy server, Megabasterd masks your real IP address. When one proxy hits the bandwidth limit, the software automatically switches to another. This allows for uninterrupted, high-speed downloads.
A standout new feature: bandwidth-aware proxy rotation.
If a proxy’s speed drops below a set threshold (e.g., 500 KB/s), MegaBasterd automatically switches to the next working proxy in your list – without pausing the download. This keeps transfers fast even when using free, overloaded proxies.
