Configuration file for megatools
Synopsis
~/.megarc ./.megarc
Description
Megatools use INI configuration file to store commonly used login credentials. This makes it less bothersome to use the tools, as you can simply write
$ megatools df
instead of
$ megatools df --username my@email.com --password mypass
when using the tools.
Configuration file is read either from the current directory or user’s home directory. Exceptions are when --ignore-config-file was passed to the tool, or when explicit path to the config file was given via --config <path>.
Config File Sections
All sections are optional. All names are case sensitive, thus you must write [Login], and not [login], and so on.
Login Section
- Username
Your username.
- Password
Your password. Be aware that back slashes have special meaning. If you have back slash in your password, you must escape it with another backslash. For example: my\nice\password would be written as my\\nice\\password in the config file.
Cache Section
- Timeout
Cache timeout in seconds (default is 10 minutes).
Network Section
- DownloadSpeedLimit
Set maximum allowed download speed in KiB/s. 0 means no limit. Overrides SpeedLimit setting.
- UploadSpeedLimit
Set maximum allowed upload speed in KiB/s. 0 means no limit. Overrides SpeedLimit setting. When using ParallelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit is applied to each transfer individually.
- SpeedLimit
Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s. 0 means no limit.
- ParallelTransfers
Set maximum allowed number of parallel connections when upload or downloading a file. The file is split into chunks of a size between 128 kiB and 1 MiB, and these chunks are uploaded in parallel. The number must be between 1 and 16. Default is 5.
- Proxy
Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. More information can be found in libcurl documentation at ⟨https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html⟩. Some acceptable values are:
socks5://localhost:9050: Local SOCKSv5 proxy serversocks5h://localhost:9050: Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS handled by the proxy
Upload Section

Example
Create ~/.megarc (on linux) or mega.ini file containing these 3 lines:
[Login] Username = your@email Password = yourpassword [Network] # 1MiB/s SpeedLimit = 1024 # Use over TOR Proxy = socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 ParallelTransfers = 2 [UI] Colors = true
