    Default @agb2: Avoiding DNS filtering.

    @agb2

    If your Megaupload / BT problem is based on DNS filtering you might try another DNS than the one offered by BT. Either change the DNS settings or make an entry for Megaupload in your host file.
    I've also added 3 Multiupload mirrors in post #1.


    Google Public DNS
    Code:

    Google Public DNS IP addresses
    The Google Public DNS IP addresses (IPv4) are as follows:
    • 8.8.8.8
    • 8.8.4.4

    The Google Public DNS IPv6 addresses are as follows:
    • 2001:4860:4860::8888
    • 2001:4860:4860::8844



    OpenDNS
    Code:

    Prevent third-party censorship

    Using OpenDNS frees you from the DNS censorship that is imposed by some governments and puts you back in charge.

    The OpenDNS IP addresses (IPv4) are as follows:
    • 208.67.222.222
    • 208.67.220.220



    Using hardcoded IP resolving in the hosts file.
    Edit the "%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" file and add:
    Code:

    Editing and saving "hosts" in Windows Vista or Win 7 needs administrator rights. Open editor like notepad with right-click and run as Administrator. %SystemRoot% normally expands to C:\Windows.
    If the IP address changes then the hosts entry will be outdated and needs updating.

    Many thanks Ballebar
    I tried everything that you suggested ie registered to dns & updated hosts file but still unable to download from Megaupload.
    However was able to use the Mirrors without any problems.
    After sorting out the maps, I will have a go at Birdseye - thanks again.
