I should put up a sticky about this, really. >_>
Anyway, there are multiple issues with Megaupload - it is slow (I can upload two hundred times as fast to other hosts), file management is pretty much impossible (I have over 14 000 files uploaded, no way that would ever work with MU), and last, but not least, we don't want any donation (buttons), so the downloads help pay for a small part of the server and distribution network.
With multiple hosts available you really only need to spend a minute or two to start four or five downloads - and the combination of them should max out most connections, even as free user - so you should be more than able to download faster than you can watch. In the end that is what should count. ^^
