The executable client code runs directly from the user’s local machine, rather than being loaded from MEGA over TLS/SSL. This saves time by not downloading these files from MEGA’s servers and verifying them each time you visit the MEGA website. MEGA’s source code files (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) are loaded from the extension itself and do not require additional integrity verification. Any MEGA URL will be captured by this extension and stay local (no JavaScript will be loaded from our servers). This extension allows you to install MEGA into your browser to reduce loading times, improve download performance and strengthen security. Unlike other cloud storage providers, your data is encrypted and decrypted by your client devices only and never by us. MEGA is a secure, user-controlled end-to-end encrypted cloud storage and communications service with 20 GB free storage space. you set a different number of upload/download connections and speed limit) that could also cause difference in transfer speed.Secure Cloud Storage and Chat Secure Cloud Storage and Communication. If the MEGAsync speed settings differs from the website settings (i.e. office) you may find out that it is the opposite at another connection point (ie. If transfers through HTTP might have problems (due to a firewall issue for example) and HTTPS is much faster at one connection point (ie.

Another difference is that the web uses HTTPS for transfers while MEGAsync uses HTTP by default (despite it can be changed in settings).įor some users one of them could provide higher speeds.

So the main difference is HOW they calculate the speed, not necessarily in the final transfer speed and time result itself.Ģ. However when analysing the speed measured by the operating system, in both cases the speed pattern seems to be similar (despite the web and MEGAsync show different speeds). If the transfer starts very fast and then reduces the speed, the web would show a high speed during a longer period of time, while MEGAsync would almost immediately show the current speed. The main difference in transfer speed statistics you have observed can be caused by the fact that MEGA on browser seems to be showing the mean speed during the whole transfer or during a longer syncing period while MEGAsync shows the mean speed during only the last 5 seconds. Firstly do not confuse your connection (Mbps) with transfer speed (MB/s)!
