Megaupload workarounds
I figured out someone would like to have these, so here are my favorite Megaupload workarounds.

* Rapget. Which is like USDownloader, only without the plugins, and you can run lots of downloads at the same time.

* I'd recommend to get the Relentless Rapidshare Spyder, and update the rapget included to the most recent version (1.11 by the time I'm writing this). The upgrading is important because the version included on RRS doesn't support MU's captcha system. The RRS already includes a cookie cleaner and an IP rotating tool.

* The User Agent solution - For FF or IE users, though the FF solution is faster.

* You could also use a proxy to access MU. The proxy needs to be from USA or Canada so you can avoid the dreaded download slots. Google yourself a proxy list and configure your browser with it.

* Cleaning your cookies and rotating your IP often is helpful, too.

You can also try installing Alexa. It enabled you to d/l megaupload without installing any other tools.

That's why the User Agent solution is for -- you can trick MU to think you have the Alexa Toolbar, and if you're on Firefox you just have to install a plugin which is smaller than the toolbar.

I didn't suggest it because most people dislike this solution - due to the fact that the Alexa Toolbar is detected by many spybots as spyware, so even if it doesn't do much, if you're careless enough it'll always get uninstalled every time you run your preferred anti-spyware utility. But it's a choice.
