Features
Features of MediaFire include unlimited storage and a limit of 200 MB per file (10 GB for Pro users).[5] MediaFire does not enforce waiting times for downloads, limit simultaneous downloading, or set bandwidth limits. However, it requires cookies to be enabled and a CAPTCHA if you download a file then re-download it.
In August 2008, the service began offering a MediaFire Pro ("MediaPro") service that added more features and removes some limitations. Pro users can upload encrypted ZIP or RAR archives,[6] remote upload files, and browse the website without ads.

PC Magazine named MediaFire both one of the "Top 100 Undiscovered websites" and a "Top Website of 2008".[7][8] It has also been reviewed favorably by CNET[9] and Lifehacker[10].
