So you got this message:
"All download slots assigned to your country (Singapore/Malaysia/whatever) are currently in use. Please try again in a few hours or install the Megaupload Toolbar for immediate access - with the toolbar installed, there are no more slot limitations for you!"

or this one:
分配给贵国 (Singapore) çš„å…¨éƒ¨ä¸‹è½½é€šé“å‡å·²å ç”¨ã€‚è¯·åœ¨å‡ ä¸ªå°æ—¶åŽå†æ¬¡å°è¯•ï¼Œæˆ–å®‰è£… Megaupload 工具条立即获得通道 - 安装了工具条后，您即不再受通道限制！

DO NOT install the toolbar, it's the gateway for trojans and adware/spyware.

Here's how to download from megaupload when all the country slots are full:

Step 1: Use firefox, won't work in IE. Click here to get it.
Step 2: Install greasemonkey firefox extension from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
Step 3: Make sure the extension is activated
Step 4: Come back here and click on Megaupload script it will install the script into Greasemonkey.
Step 5: Go to megaupload.com to initialise the script

You're all set, now you don't have anymore country restrictions. Click on a megaupload download link to test it.

'njoy.

All this while I've been using Megaupload/Share.am Link Grabber to bypass Megaupload's download limit slot problem. It's been a few months that this tool has stopped working most probably because Megaupload has updated their code and the author of Megaupload/Share.am Link Grabber didn't bother to update his useful tool.

Yesterday I desperately needed to download something from Megaupload and I was out of ideas on how to do it because the only tool that I was relying on can no longer be used. Everytime I tried to download something from Megaupload, I get the message All download slots assigned to your country are currently in use. Please try again in a few hours or install the Megaupload Toolbar for immediate access - with the toolbar installed, there are no more slot limitations for you!

For sure I don't want to download and install the crappy Megaupload toolbar when I don't even download from Megaupload often. I think it has nothing to do with slots being used up. It's just Megaupload trying to promote their toolbar and get as many people as they can to install Megaupload toolbar. Luckily mEtRiX suggested a way that can bypass Megaupload download slot limit.

All I needed to do to bypass Megaupload download slot limit problem is download a Firefox plugin called Megaupload SX 4.3 and enable it before I visit the Megaupload download link URL. If you don't have Firefox browser, I suggest you download and use it one now.

After installing Megaupload SX plugin, restart your Firefox and you'll notice that a new menu "Megaupload SX 4.3" will appear in your Tools menu. There's only enable and disable. Turn it on when you want to click a megaupload link and turn it off later the download has started.

It's THAT SIMPLE! Another reason why Firefox is the best browser in the world.

Note: There's a small problem with this plugin. Even after uninstalling the Megaupload SX plugin, you'll still be stuck at some other language when you visit Megaupload. If I am not wrong, it should be Portuguese language. Clearing your Firefox cache and cookies will fix this problem.

From that useful site My Digital Life Forums

MegaUpload is one of the most popular One-Click Webhosting and free file hosting that allows users to upload and store files up to 250 MB in size (up to 5 GB for premium users, although you can upload unlimited number of files) and share with others. Unfortunately, if you want to download contents and files from MegaUpload file hosting service for free, there are some limitations that applied to regular users, and one of them is download slots limit based on your country. The download slots available is depends on country, and if it’s used up, you have to wait for a download to finish and vacant the slot for you to be able to download again.

When the limit is hit, the message such as “All slots assigned to your country are in use, try again later” will appear. To hack the MegaUpload download slots limit by country so that you can bypass the download slots limit, anonymous surfing or referrer blocker service can help:

If MegaUpload download link is http://www.megaupload.com/?XXXXXXX

Then replace the URL to the following format:

http://anonym.to/?http://www.megaupload.com/?XXXXXXX

Alternatively, use any anonymous surfing service such as Anonymouse or Guardster free web proxy to bypass the MegaUpload download limit. Steps to use Guardster to bypass MegaUpload Country limit are:
Go to the following site: http://www.guardster.com/subscription/proxy_free.php
Input the MegaUpload download link in the Address text box. (where you will see http:// in the box)
Uncheck (Unselect) all the options, like No Cookies, No Scripts, No Images, Hide Referrer, Hide User Agent, Hide Title, Hide Header.
Click on the button “I agree an wish to surf anonymously”.

Another workaround for MegaUpload slots limit is by using Google Language Tool translation capability.
Go to Google Language Tool, and scroll to Translate section. Or you can go direct to Google Translate.
Input MegaUpload download link into the tex box (where you can see http://) below the “Translate a web page:”.
For “from” option, the default (depending on your Google interface) English to German will do the trick, although other options will likely to allow the hack too.
Click on the “Translate” after the language option, and wait for the MegaUpload download page to load, which allows you to start download immediately without the limitation by download limit per country.
