Why is it not downloading to mediaget? Why doesn't MediaGet download?

  • The speed of your Internet connection. You cannot download faster than your tariff and operator (provider) allows. Typically, operators indicate connection speeds in megabits per second (for example, 20 Mbps), while download speeds are measured in megabytes per second. There are 8 bits in 1 byte, so the actual speed of downloading a file with a connection speed of 20 Mb/sec. will be at least 8 times lower (~2.5 Mb/sec.). Your Internet channel is limited; if any program (browser, other download manager, online game) is running at this moment, the speed will be proportionally lower. Sometimes the download speed drops even lower due to other external factors (interference, distribution features, etc.). Also, your antivirus may block downloading files using the .torrent protocol. In this case, you need to add MediaGet to your antivirus exceptions.
  • If you use the mobile Internet, providers often limit or block the ability to download files using the .torrent protocol. To clarify this nuance, you need to contact the support service of your mobile Internet provider.

    • Number of “seeders” (people distributing this file). Some files that can be downloaded using MediaGet do not have a seeder, i.e. you have no one to download it from. This is a feature of p2p networks. There are several options to solve the problem:
      • look for another file with the same name, but with the presence of siders;
      • wait until the distributors appear online and allow you to download the required file;
      • ask to “stand up for distribution”, i.e. contact those people who have already downloaded this file so that they return to the distribution, which will make it possible for others to download the file. You can read more about the features of file sharing in p2p networks and the principles of operation of the Torrent protocol
    • Connection limit reached. To solve this problem, go to “Settings” → “Advanced settings” → “Connections” and opposite the incoming connection port, click the button "Accidentally". This function will change the port and your download will resume. The speed drops to a minimum when the download reaches the end. Why? This may be due to the way the MediaGet client (and similar programs) works. The file is split into parts that you receive from different users. If a particular part is missing from the fast source, or the source with that part is temporarily unable to transfer the file, you have a speed dip. We can recommend restarting the program (“Menu” → “Exit”, launch again). If after this there are no changes, you must wait for the resumption of distribution of the missing part of the file. If this does not happen for a long time, we recommend downloading another distribution using our search. Select a file that has greatest number of sources(such files are marked with five stars).

      During the installation process, the message "error while downloading installation files (winnet code...)", "MediaGet installer has stopped working" appears. What to do? This problem is caused by incorrect settings of the Internet Explorer browser on your PC. Even if you are using a different browser, you need to do the following to fix the problem:

      • disable mode in Internet Explorer "Work autonomously"(to do this, launch IE, right-click on the gray space at the top and select the item in the menu that appears "Command line". Next, in the line that appears in the tab "Service" uncheck the box next to the line "Work autonomously");
      • exit IE and open it again to check for this checkbox;
      • close IE and open task manager to make sure the MediaGet installer is not already running;
      • run the MediaGet installer. With MediaGet enabled, pages in the browser load very slowly, although my Internet speed is quite high. What to do? Most likely you have half-open connection limit exceeded. To solve this problem, you need to download and install a special free patch.

        How to download mediaget for free a file, but not distribute it? After downloading the file on the tab "Downloads" right click on the file and click “Delete” > “Remove download from list”, or after downloading the file, click the “Pause” button so that the file is not distributed, but remains in the download list.
        How to restore a download after deleting it from the download list? Start downloading this file again. The program itself will find the undownloaded file and continue downloading. You can also look for a previously downloaded file with the .torrent extension in temporary files or browser downloads and open it.
        I have set files to download and want the computer to shut down when the download is complete. How can I do it?
        Right-click on the MediaGet icon in the lower right corner of your screen (in the tray), select section from the menu that appears "Shutting down PC" and activate the corresponding item.
        I noticed that sometimes the download speed through the browser is faster than through MediaGet. Why?
        Perhaps the fact is that the server that gives you the file through the browser is able to keep the connection to your computer at a speed higher than the user’s computer that gives you the file through MediaGet. Try downloading a file with more sources
        The file download suddenly stopped. What to do?
        Please, check your internet connection. If other programs (ICQ, Skype, browser) work, check the S/P column(seeds/peers) in the tab "Downloads" in the MediaGet client. If there are no seeds there, there is no one to distribute the file to. Wait for the dealers to appear or use the search to find another hand.

        The program does not allow you to download a large file. Why?
        Make sure that the disk on which the program is installed is formatted with a file system NTFS(cannot be done in 95/98/ME). FAT32 do not support files 4GB or more in size.
        In order to reformat the file system to NTFS, you need an operating system Windows 2000, XP and higher. Please use the following instructions:


    MediaGet is a popular program for downloading various data - games, music, videos and others. Unfortunately, the program does not work correctly for users in all cases, and today we will look at ways to deal with the problem when MediaGet refuses to download data.

    Below we will look at the main reasons that may affect the MediaGet program refusing to download files.

    Reason 1: ISP download limitation

    Most often, this problem affects users who are connected to the mobile Internet.

    In this case, you cannot download with any program that works using the BitTorrent protocol, and the problem can only be solved by connecting to another provider that does not have such a restriction.

    Reason 2: MediaGet is blocked by antivirus

    Unfortunately, the MediaGet program distributes pirated content, which means that many antivirus programs can block the activity of this program, mistaking it for a potential threat.

    If an antivirus is installed on your computer, you will need to go to its menu by opening the exclusion list management section. In this list you will need to include the entire folder with the MediaGet program, after which, if the problem really was the antivirus, the download will proceed normally.

    Reason 3: there are no users on the distribution

    The more users share the file you are interested in, the higher your download speed will be. If there are no users present at the distribution, then, accordingly, the file download may stop altogether.

    Reason 4: incorrect functioning of the program

    We cannot exclude the possibility that the MediaGet program installed on your computer does not work correctly, which means that the situation can be resolved by reinstalling the program.

    Reason 5: viral activity

    Viruses can easily cause MediaGet to not download files to your computer.

    1. To check if there is virus activity on your computer, perform a virus scan using your antivirus or a special cleaning program.
    2. If virus activity was detected on the computer as a result of the scan, it should be deleted and then the system should be rebooted.
    3. Most likely, the operation of MediaGet has already been disrupted by virus activity, which means that in order to return its functioning to normal, you will need to reinstall it, as described in the article a little higher.

    Reason 6: Low Internet connection speed

    In order for files to download quickly, you must have an appropriate Internet connection speed.

    In this case, if you have an Internet speed of less than 5 Mbit/s, you should think about switching to a different tariff or completely changing your provider.

    These are the main reasons that may affect the inability to download a file in the MediaGet program. If you have another way to solve the problem that is not given in the article, share it in the comments.
