Megaupload Hyperdrive?

I uploaded a 200+ megabyte anime episode, and it finished all the way in 10 seconds. It went up by a good deal of kilobytes, and then BAM, it was done all 200 megabytes of it.

I downloaded the episode I had just uploaded, to make sure it wasn't some kind of joke, but no, it really is there in full. How the hell did this happen? My internet was never fast enough to upload 200 megabytes in 10 seconds before! This simply isn't possible. o.O

Unless your internet uploaded at 20 megabytes a second, and megaupload didn't slow you down, it couldn't have.

MegaUpload employs MD5 to identify and avoid the storage of duplicated files. A master server stores MD5 hashes along with their server numbers. When a file is uploaded through Mega Manager, a query to the master server with its hash is sent before any data. If a match is found, the file is not uploaded again. This was discovered by deliberately uploading two files with different content but colliding MD5 hashes. Only the file which was uploaded first remained in the server. Attempts to upload the second file failed because Megaupload regarded it as an existing file.

I found the reason. From now on I'll just check Wiki first.

I've done this numerous times usually with television episodes.
