NAME¶
megarc - 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.

- Cache timeout in seconds (default is 10 minutes).
NETWORK SECTION¶
- DownloadSpeedLimit

- 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:
