I was wondering if anyone else out there has the same issue as me. Start a game download through Mega and after about 15 or 20 seconds and guaranteed I'll lose my internet connection. Turn off wifi and reconnect and it'll start up again for 15 or 20 secs and repeat. Bearing in mind this only happens with Mega and no other host. Anonfiles triggers Malwarebytes as does another which I can't quite recall atm and all the others are slow as f. The only host I had no issues with and was the best imo was Nopy, (RIP) But for the life of me I don't understand why this only happens with Mega and no-one else. Someone please help!

I have no netcode knowledge at all, but MEGA always operated a bit different other download sites in my experience. It's fast, but it maxes out your bandwidth or something. You will notice very apparent slow downs when browsing sites or doing anything else when you are downloading from MEGA. By comparison, NOPY and any other sites (on a good day) would give similar speeds without hogging your entire bandwidth. I don't know what causes this, but maybe it has something to do with your internet dropping.

Try updating your drivers. Maybe you've actually missed installing one. Happened to me once after buying a new PC.
