I download a lot of files via MegaUpload but I think SK blocked access to the site for me today.

I can access the main page, but whenever I visit a link page, it comes up blank. I went through a proxy and the link pages show up.

WHAT THE HELL?!

Anyone else get blocked?

MU sucks in general for Koreans. I'm with CnM and getting 22Kbs-270kbs
With Qook I had no better.
At the PC bangs its completely to a crawl at 4Kbs. For some Koreans like you, its blocked. Actually Megaupload servers block a lot of Asian countries so its possible SK just decided to block them since it hardly works on our end anyways.

I dl most of my things from MU so this really sucks for us Sad I wished there was some workaround. Isn't downloading through a proxy very slow??

MU doesn't typically suck in Korea. Up until now I was regularly hitting speeds between 5 and 10mbps. But I have a premium membership.

I also have premium. Maybe just my area?
Well I know many people in other "gu's" who aren't getting good MU speed either.
