Having to download from Mega when the file size is less than a Gig is really annoying.

Can you tell me why that is? Also, I’ll add a torrent option on discord if you have trouble downloading it from mega.

It's annoying because unless you're paying the subscription for that website, you're limited to how much you can download over a given period of time, meaning that depending on what else you've been downloading you might not have any downloaded allocation left, or downloading so small you could eat an annoying amount of the allocation even if you have it to spare. Also, itch allows for direct downloads from this website for files of a Gig or less in size. It also allows for larger file sizes to be directly downloaded, but you have to ask for that.

Okay, I’ll look into that for Chapter 2. Thanks for the thorough explanation.

Thanks for thinking about it. I also can not download from mega, because it limits how much I can download a day, and because many other developers like you also use mega, I need to carefully select which games I download/update to fit into my 4GB daily download limit.

Mega is really evil, and there are plenty of other download sites which work a lot more better than mega. (From the user's perspective)

For example:

mediafire.com

gofile.io

workupload.com

pixeldrain.com

Also, please consider that there are some people who can not download torrents, because of crappy internet service providers, so really adding a decent (not mega) direct download link would be very nice.
