We have detected an elevated number of requests from your IP

Is anyone else having trouble with MU? I can't download stuff from there without first it telling me to wait for 30 minutes. Wtf happened? I'm not even downloading stuff and its giving me the same damn message. Anyone know a fix?

Don't have a fix, but I always get this problem too, since the first time I ever tried dl-ing from MU.

Tried asking before too, but no one really had a solution.

Public connection?

I dunno about him, but mine is my own private home network.

This only started recently and I have a private connection.

Well this is really directed at the people without this problem, what's different between you and me? do i need to block certain stuff from megaupload or need an addon to hide my ip? I use firefox should i change browser?

People who can still use MU freely how do you protect yourself from people looking at you computer? Any suggestions would be welcomed greatly, I need my fix from the games section soon ^^

I've been similarly affected of late; it lets me download one file, but regardless of size locks me out for some forty minutes following my next request.

I dont even get that, i wait for the 20 or 30 minutes whatever it is and when it hits 0... boom back to 20 minutes have fun waiting forever -_-

Yeah, if I refresh the page it just gives me another countdown, but if I hit the back button and just enter the code it lets me through. It is odd.

If it's a private connection, it is STILL likely that you are sharing an IP with someone else. (Perhaps your ISP did not purchase enough of the IPv4 block?) The other possibility is that MegaUpload is being wonky, though neither of these possibilities are something you can do much about.

Are you running Tor or using a VPN or Proxy service?

I tried both TOR and using various proxy servers but the problem is other people use the proxy so people are already downloading stuff, meaning I cannot download anything unless i got a premium account or something. I'd have to set up a private one or something. The one server i used that worked got cut off like 5 minutes into a download.

I've done the renew release thing but my IP didnt change, think i'd need to fiddle a bit more to change IP, or wait overnight which is what some people suggested.

Result: Out of nowhere its fixed, I sent megaupload an email so they might have done something but somehow I doubt that. Maybe they fixed the problem for everyone, maybe its temporary, who knows?

Edit: Lol broken again, this is seriously annoying.

Edit again: Ok it appears that at certain times it works, sometimes it doesn't so (by my time its 17:40 so maybe past 4o'clock or something?)

Sending an IP renewal request will do very little if your ISP has locked in your IP. If you already talked to MegaUpload, then you should talk to your ISP. Aside from that, there is very little you can do on your end.
