2048 bit encryption
Tried to register two times last night. Failed both the times. Didn't receive email.
Today I tried with gmail. Got mail instantly. So looks like there's problem with live ID.
Anyway, this seems good:

2048 bit encryption
Do you think it really is there?? I don't think so..
but i thought "mega" was "LEGAL" ...??

It is legal. This time however, they will not be liable for what data the users upload and that will solely be the uploader's responsibility.
how is that possible? ..z.
That means that the users upload data at their own risk. If anything is found to be objectionable, it will probably be blocked.
PS: Will have to read their new Terms and Conditions.
then why the hell are they providing 2048 bit encryption?...
Actually the data stored at their server will be encrypted with your 2048 bit key. So even though you might have uploaded warez to their server, they won't be able to see the content of data. Essentially that spares them of any legal action against them even if some goes to see through their HDDs because the data will be encrypted.

Actually, Ars Technica found some interesting "features" which may compromise your innocence if you're uploading pirated stuff.
Firstly, Mega claims that they do not know what content you upload. However, their servers check for redundancy (deduplication). So if you uploaded the same file as another guy, only one copy will be stored. But this begs the question: how will they know if the files are identical?
During startup, when it is generating your 2048-bit RSA key, apparently JavaScript's inbuilt random number generator is used. And computers by themselves can't do random stuff. It is only pseudo-random, and can be reverse-engineered if the likes of FBI were so inclined. Also, when the site claims that it has collected keyboard/mouse entropy, it is still reading those moves. So, most people won't jiggle their KBs/mice.
Your files themselves are encrypted with AES-128. The 2048-bit key is used when you send files or messages to other users.
Password is not changeable. If you lose it, you lose your files.
