Crashed how? During download or playback? As long as you have disk space there should not be any issues like that to deal with…

Re: BBC sessions help
I can relate to this. Mega often crashes my browser. It's to do with the way it uses a massive amount of memory to decrypt the files.
I found that by using a different browser, or making sure I'm not in "incognito mode" I can get through sometimes.
It also throws up download caps, but the way around that is to sign OUT of Mega and load the page again through a VPN. It then won't know who you are and the data cap will vanish.
Sorry it's such a pain but all the file hosts have issues.

IMO if Mega downloads crash the browsers or, even worse, the computers, then it makes sense to have a look at the system, like, which processes eat how much resources, when idle and when downloading something. It should not be like this under the normal operating conditions.
