Presentation of the new Megaaploada and shows with special troops

Kim Dotcom recently officially launched its new file sharing Mega, which replaces exactly one year ago, closed Megaupload.com. Presentation of the new items was held recently in New Zealand, where Dotcom is unable to go, as it is in relation to the process of the suit from the United States.

Himself Dotcom says his new project Mega - is not a place the US in a closed Megaupload, a completely new project, which for its owners to become a business, and the business itself, "Dotcom and the company" determined to build on the model of earnings on the hosting of data, not on the data itself, as it did in the case of Megaupload.com and that was the cause of discontent on the part of western rights holders.

Unlike Megauploud, the new project will encrypt everything - myself traffic sent from client to server, and the data that will be stored on servers Mega. Consequently, even the operator of Mega in theory would not know what users are stored on its servers. At the moment, the main routing servers Mega placed with German commercial hosting Cogent, but Dotcom says he has already received about 1,000 messages with the offer of hosting for Mega.

Interest in the launching of the project is very large: one hour after the official start of the project, address mega.co.nz was already available, and the servers are overloaded. In his twitter feed Dotcom confirmed that Mega congested user traffic, but after a few hours of the routing system will go into normal operation, and the site will function normally. In his twitter Dotcom also writes that he is now linked to the provider and he said that some of his 10-Gigabit fully loaded, with its peak performance network reached in just 8-10 minutes from the start.



Speaking about the launch of a new project, Dotcom said that all his help with the launch of about 150 people, but most of them - a one-time staff to help with the creation or presentation of the project, whereas in everyday life with the Mega will work 15-20 including himself. He also noted that the main Mega servers today have been put into operation at 6:48 am local time. A year ago at this time the police began to raid his house and about the same time and the project was shut down Megaupload.



Dotcom says that at the time of closing Megaupload used about 50 million people. He said he would like to give them access to all and Mega under the previously paid money but can not do so, as Megaupload servers are under arrest. For the same reason, it can not guarantee users of Megaupload and restore data. Now, being under house arrest, Dotcom said that certainly not all users will start using Megaupload Mega, as many do not want to once again trust their data to those who once could no longer guarantee their safety.



"If I was a customer Megaupload, then perhaps now I would create the same thoughts. Where is the guarantee? Of course, there will be those who will no longer work with us, that is sad, "- he says. "We tried to keep all the possible reasons for the closure to a minimum and to protect itself as much as possible the infrastructure Mega, making its distribution."



"We know that many now begin to test Mega and a few weeks later appeared on the Internet user feedback. We ourselves are looking forward to them. "



On the eve of the presentation of the project, he said that he met with his lawyer and they are once again coordinated defense strategy in the framework of the ongoing criminal proceedings against him.



It should also be noted that on the eve of the launch of the project in the US said they continue to insist on the extradition of Dotcom, who is accused of hosting pirated material. In New Zealand, was originally planned to hold the final hearing on the issue of extradition in March, but at the end of last year it became known that the court postponed the hearing until August, which angered lawyers Dotcom, as they considered that the Court of artificially delaying the proceedings to the American side It had more time to collect materials.



It is not known exactly how many servers provide job Mega, but according to technical analysis, we can say that now hosts about 1000 are included in the system of balancing Mega. Previously, he Dotcom said that he intends to pay for each server is about $ 500, and the server must have been set parameters, he had to have a gigabit connection, 24 hard disks with 73 terabytes of space and the operating system Linux. According to experts, a former Web hosting Megaupload, Carpathia Hosting Company received approximately $ 1 million per month for the support of the resource. Approximately the same amount of money, most likely, and now receives German Cogent.



"Actions Dotcom look a little provocative. The United States can strengthen its initiatives aimed at getting Dotcom "- believes Charles Alexander, a partner at law firm Minter Ellison. He also reminded that Washington has accused Kim Dotcom in receiving illegal income in the amount of $ 175 million from the placement of pirated material online. With the launch of another project file-sharing lawyer did not rule out new provocations, as well as new high-profile accusations against the ex-head of Megaupload.
